OK I'm all in on fire Franklin. He's in charge. He's responsible. That was sad.
Official PSU - UCLA '25 Game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I agree the Franklin Fan Boys can't conveniently flip a switch and find sudden enlightenment
I can't help but to think something negotiated happens the week after next. Kraft vs. Agent... Need to get donors aligned with pledges for the reduced payout
Low tier bowl if that, with about 15 cowardly players sitting out like the Miss. and Ark. games .
Sit most of them now , build for the future.
Agreed. This PSU “treat ever HC like Paterno” crap needs to end.
They’ll be back around Wednesday saying the past is the past- time to focus on mighty Northwestern.
(A Northwestern team that, unlike PSU, actually beat UCLA last week and held them to 14 points).
Hmm, that doesn’t hold up to logic. Wanting him to succeed does not preclude honest assessment.
4th and 2 run = run a slow, developing play (the 2nd down play was awful also)
Kaytron Allen sits with a chance to tie
1st and 60 with 12 seconds left = run a swing pass for 0 yards
As bad as this was, the defense was worse.
Forced 1 punt

At the risk of laying ALL the blame on the coaching staff, however.... players didn't step up. For the high recruiting rankings PSU has, it seems like this team gets pushed around, can't tackle, and generally get beaten on plays when it really matters.
It will never change till Franklin is gone, Sad Truth.
Fire Franklin, it doesn't matter who you hire; even the janitor would be better.
They will still cash their checks including the soft NIL players.
Still can't believe Singleton has more carry than Allen, what do the coaches see?
Serious question because I can’t understand why Allen gets less touches- can NIL deals dictate playing time for players ?
My best guess is they think he will provide an "explosive" play. Screw that. Give me 4 to 6 yards on every play and I'll win every game.
Any fans that show up to home games with Franklin as Penn State coach are idiots. Don’t go and send a message to Kraft and boosters. Franklin Must Go
Who had season over by game 5 on their bingo score card. Not me. Franklin has out done himself this season!
THEY THINK I ONLY LOSE THE BIG GAMES?!?!? HOLD MY BEER!!

Franklin is loyal. The loyalty that he has is hurting PSU.
Allen needs to be RB1. Our defense needs to stop rushing the DEs so wide leaving a natural hole between DE and DT.
clearly the second half the biggest weapon the UCLA had was a running QB. Spy him with Wheatley, King Mack someone fast enough to get him on the ground.
0 made about 0 meaningful tackles.

This was a really bad loss. This was the worst loss for PSU in a long time. If people don't think PSU has a problem with Franklin then I don't know what to say. He has been given everything. The OC he wanted and told us was the most creative. The highest paid DC in the country from the NC team. JF cant beat an 0-4 team. It's time for Kraft to work behind the scenes that on Jan 2 hands JF his walking papers and a fat check
If he has any damn shame, he’ll negotiate his buyout (he won’t).
What they should do is hire his replacement and make up some ridiculous title for him with an office on the Behrand campus. It’d be cheaper to pay 2 HC salaries than buy him out. Force him to quit!
You don't believe that the coaching staff deserves any blame for the team playing soft with no discipline.?
Don't even take a bowl game. All these hotshot kids would skip it anyway. Because, evidently, they can't risk winning.
