How would you rate your level of hope for our football future at this time in comparison to what it was when you established your previous handle?

If you had the old one since 2014, what’s up with the 2026. Edit: I’m guessing you have the ability to edit your user name.

It’s interesting to observe the different ways people are reacting to the news and how they’re processing it. One universal theme: it was time.

I’ll remember CJF as a high-character guy who found his dream job, who loved his job and did his level best every day. Just like me (if I’m allowed to call myself high-character). One big difference: I had tenure.

I don't know how many people watch FTB's content, but they did a special edition of the show today to discuss the news, and I thought Kevin Horne's take was spot-on.

Can anyone give me a 15-word synopsis? TIA.

I'll bullet point it for you:

-mix of emotions: sad, but also a sense of relief
-choice had to be made
-The paradox: we were in the big moments because of CJF, but we couldn't win in the big moments because of CJF
-became an egomaniac following B1G championship season, and relationship with fans and university became increasingly hostile
-made close to $100 million in salary, donated a total of $15,000 to the university
-CJF made "alignment" speech, and less than 200 days later, is fired

Landon Tengwall speculates that Franklin, at some point, decided he didn't like being in State College.
