You gotta have faith. Did we all think we were getting Cig or Elko? Part of the issue is all these pro Franklin clowns on this board will lead you to believe Franklin was really good for PSU. Just summon up your memory of how you felt after the '17 Rose Bowl, the OSU games of '17, '18, 19, '22, '23, '24. The Michigan games of '21 through '23. The ND game of '24. The Minny game in '19, the Sparty games of '17 and '18. The guy was a veritable train wreck frittering away winnable games.Is Drink an upgrade to Franklin?
It's really feeling dire right now as far as the search is concerned - Kraft talked a huge game in his presser after Franklin's firing, and it doesn't seem like this job is all that attractive to anyone of note. Coming into this search, Drink was like the 5-6 option. What's his signature win at Mizzou? What's his highest finish in the SEC?
This is really starting to feel like end of the Kraft era as well.
What is not being said is if we hire Drinkwitz and he doesn't work out then he gets fired and we hire a new coach. It is not like the program is guaranteed to fail forever. Look at A&M?? Sumlin to Jimbo and maybe another one in there but they got it right now.
Penn State football will be fine and I stand by my prediction that we win a NC within 10 years.
