I am so tired of the Joe, Joe, Joe BS. He was a great coach and a flawed man. There is nothing wrong with reminiscing once and awhile but the constant blathering about him sucks. It is the past. The future is now. He will never be exonerated. There is no smoking gun that will totally restore his reputation to a certain segment of the populace. Ever! He was treated unfairly to a large extent, but life isn’t fair. The constant need to insert him into all things PSU borders on fanatical. I remember the glory years and lived through the championships and remember it fondly. But it is yesteryear. I don’t give a rats *** if Campbell mentions him in a presser. I am concerned about future PSU teams.

You truly are pathetic. But feel free to continue with your Kraft apology tour if it makes you feel better.

I'm truly correct and honorable. You must be the other guy, supporting snakes who do nothing but sabotage and bad mouth in order to try to promote their agenda, which doesn't best serve the university - it just serves their own personal crusade over one man.

You're so messed in the head right now, you responded to a post in which I said I'm not a fan of Kraft's, and I pointed out why ... and you're calling that a "Kraft apology tour" ... right now, you're acting like the JoeBots ... desperate, catty and lacking honor and integrity.

Sorry, but this overly PC chickenspit university is trying to erase him from history, and that is just not acceptable to the majority of the fanbase. If that weren't the case, you would not be getting the "constant blathering about him."

Well then please do genius. I can hardly wait. In case you missed it I said I don’t oppose Franklin’s firing and said he had made in game decisions like EVERY damn coach. Please get help for your Franklin Derangement Syndrome.
Wait...I was responding to your original Franklin prop-up post (who has Franklin derangement?) with a recent example of pure idiocy.

Do you want me to get into some of the horrible clock management decisions?
Or maybe last year's halftime adjustments against ND?
How about maybe perhaps emphasizing to your players to NOT SCORE a TD when that was the only possible way to lose the game(...although Michael Penix was OOB).

Maybe if James would've just gone away, I wouldn't be this pissed...by I admit that the Crumbl cookie thing put me over the edge with that ungrateful narcissist.

My favorite was 2 failed fake FG attempts from inside the 10 against Michigan a few years back. Couldn't even get mad at that one. Just laughed.

Good luck getting anyone to play in the bowl game now. After listening to the crap Kraft was spewing to the team, it would be hard for even me to blame them for wanting to jump ship.

Hopefully Terry wants to coach one last game for PSU and he can rally enough guys to want to play and win for him.
The Bowl game might be out the window.

I saw it mentioned that this is exactly the case - that Kraft spoke to Campbell earlier in the search, but Campbell did not want to engage in any discussions until after the season ended. I'm not saying that is true as I have no idea, but it would fit the timeline of why he wasn't more actively considered earlier and why the hard press now made sense.
Not realistic

Ill add to the pile. Giving Liam Clifford supposedly $500,000 and some top high school recruits around $50,000 and totally botching NIL was and is inexcusable. If reports are true and Franklin wanted to give the highest portion of NIL to his current players, regardless of contribution on the field and that Kraft gave him the opportunity to sign big transfer targets and he didn't utilize it. To me this is where there were issues. Franklin being the buddy coach and the I love you no matter what and you have been loyal to Penn State so I'm going to reward you with cash, even though you might only catch 3 passes for 25 yards, is insane. Any top program is paying massive NIL deals to play makers and game changers, the fact that he didn't want to do that is what caused him to have to leave. He will take that mentality to Blacksburg, he will sell that to the guys there, they will love him, he will make them feel good and he will be right where he was here, except without the horses behind him that he had in place at PSU. VT will have to fight off Pitt, Clemson, GT and Miami...
