They won't fire him because of how it would look. Read what Electric Lion posted.
We are stuck with Kraft and Campbell for 3 or 4 years.
It would be better to invest big money into obtaining players than fire Kraft and paying his buy out, and, or firing Campbell and paying his buyout. Then just see how things are in a few years when the buyouts are lower,.
firing Kraft would signify that we woke up

Honest question: why didn't you show your disagreement with Tengwall's assessment of Neal back when he tweeted that?

I’m not a former Penn State offensive lineman, and I don’t have an X account dedicated to breaking down film and evaluating players. I also never really watched Iowa State, so I’m going to assume the guy who’s breaking down film and evaluating players knows what he’s talking about.

I’d rather listen to Adam Breneman. He seems much sharper.

Franklin never could and never will win a Natty. Always chokes in Big Games and bone headed decisions.
Now do the current staff.
I know people love to hate on Franklin and his in game coaching and use of Time outs but through the first 6 games I've seen more questionable and down right stupid decisions from Campbell than in the 12+ years of Franklin.

More like the hundred million to buy out coaches and Kraft.

I wouldn't say stuck either, I like Campbell, but some are not happy with him.
Ok explain how NIL works, and how for a fact you know it's all Kraft's fault.
Instead of paying Kraft's buyout that money could be put towards the football program somehow I would think.

Here's something to think about. Anyone with an ounce of football acumen, will acknowledge that Matt Campbell is a proven program builder. The issue is, how valuable is a "builder" when NIL/RS war chests are creating winning rosters virtually overnight? The hire never made sense for PSU. Campbell ideally would have gone to a perpetual downtrodden program and brought ISU like results. PSU was looking for someone to take them from very good to "excellence at the highest level."
All the fans that gushed over his "lunch pail" appoach.....I wonder how many ever carried one?
This will be an interesting game. I think PSU has a 45% chance to win. Michigan is a 5 or 6 loss team.
Add in an actual loss to a directional school. On the other hand, they did beat Oklahoma.
If PSU can win this game, I think 8-4 is realistically on the table. A disappointment considering most figured 9-3 was the floor with this cream puff schedule.
Unless NIL increases 8-4 is pretty much the 2027 and 2028 ceiling as well.

Dumping Kraft would be the best money PSU ICA has spent in 5 years.

For 1/2 of the spend on his sh$t for brains soccer Taj Mahal (which means you still could have built a very nice and appropriate game day facility for soccer) you could have dumped him and saved hundreds of millions that his incompetence has already caused.

Fill the AD office with Herbie's dog Petey, and you'd be a few steps ahead (or maybe I should say you would "grow forward" a few steps :) )
