James Franklin or bust

I have been with this for a few days

As much as he does not win the "big games", 10-2 is muuuuuch better than this by a continent.

I agree

He has a new hunger and will do anything to win a title and prove psu wrong. I’d go all in on him.

He should be our only option. The guy can recruit. Knows ball. Came up short in the big games but so did Bobby at first and hopefully has learned from that. He consistently fielded a good/respectable product. I can’t deal with this **** anymore.

I think Jimbo is a better fit.

Hell no. Jimbo can recruit but can’t adapt to the new landscape

Miami and Clemson ain't OSU either.

Franklin couldn't beat Michigan either but he's an upgrade from what we have now.

I asked in another thread about how soon fsu could hire a coach, if they let go of Mike and people said immediately. I was hoping that was the answer because what I was really trying to get at, is how soon could that new coach start recruiting? If the answer to that is immediately, I would be fine with jimbo or Franklin as the new head coach.

Franklin or Mullen would be my two choices.

I’m in for Franklin. It would be considered a home run hire by the media after he was just paraded on ESPN. I wonder if he can come in over the off week and get an early jump?

NO NO and NO. Dude makes Jimbo look warm and fuzzy and does not win Big games. There is a reason Penn State was ready to get his ayse out with that record. The dude will underperform and be an ayse doing it. Give me Lashlee.

Gaytors (SEC) have more $ than us. Good luck!

Hear me out…Franklin AND Jimbo? Franklin as the HC and Jimbo as GM or some kind of recruiting role. They are both on a discount, why not lol

If he wants to coach again next year he will get a P2 job. He'll be at the top of most lists. We are not an attractive position to a top-tier coach as long as we are in this god-forsaken conference.

Lashlee is not leaving SMU for Florida State.

Yeah but if you looking to win ...it's easier to get to the playoffs in the ACC.Florida will have a gauntlet of a schedule every year .

Can Bust recruit?

After tonight's late game, I'm no longer in favor of going to the B1G. Hopefully we get an invite from the SEC and stay regional.

Franklin would get retribution when he is in the playoffs every year and PSU is sitting at home

JIimbo is the obvious fit Franklin sucks in big games Hell Norvell has a better record against top 10 teams than Franklin who was 2 and 13 against ohio State and Michigan

Penn State was never moving the needle ...Franklin made them relevant. There's not many coaches that win big games. I like Kiffen but he does not beat the Alabama and Georgia teams but that does not mean he's a bad coach .

Let's be honest ..nobody's got a winning record against those 2 teams
