Where are all the “Franklin’s going to USC” posters I’ve been reading for the past month? Bwahahaha.

Sport, I have zero say in what Penn State does with their millions. I wish we had someone in the AD office who asked hard questions before writing checks as though the guy is elite. He is handsomely compensated now and deserves a raise once he earns it based on the kind of metrics I outlined. My last word on it, promise.
Oh good lord....now winning 10 games is no biggie...please.how is winning ten games such a big deal? This year Franklin had six sure wins going into the season. I guess you are impressed by a 4-2 record in six games that presented a challenge? I’m not. so many here want to tie Franklin up long term with a gazillion dollar package? I am old school and I would give the $$$ only after he does something to deserve it. Playoffs? Have a winning record against our three primary B1G East opponents every year instead of half the time? B1G championships 2 or 3 times every four years, not once in four? How about making us elite? By his own admission we aren’t. That’s why we have to hear him at press conferences taking about wins over five years and poll status. If he would not have made the stupid elite comments in his frustration after losing again to tOSU we could avoid his posturing.
shouldn't you hate FSU more for screwing this up for us?
Or Texas
It’s a tired act done by idiots. I play with them until they bore me and then they go on to ignore and some new idiot is pretending he has the secret coach who will have PSU undefeated for a decade steps up. Dave is an act, nothing more. He’s Gunsie part DUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!!This is stupid. People like you act like we’ve been winning the B1G and competing for national championships for decades. Guess what. It’s been 25 years since our last perfect season and 33 since our last national championship. Oh, and more recently the world tried to kill our program. Like it or not, right now James Franklin is the perfect coach for us. He’s a great recruiter who also wins a ton of games. People like you will drive us to Tennessee status if you don’t watch it.
We all go slumming every now and then. Don’t apologize.Was reading the FSU 24/7 pay site just now (don't ask) and they are all over this. They posted a link to the meeting. They think there's a possibility JF walks and still goes to FSU. There's an OSU poster on there pretending he's not thrilled with the prospect of JF leaving PSU. It's certainly a different spin that what we're used to.

Those last 4 pounds!!!!A Penn State insider told me the first thing Franklin is going to do after signing the extension is buy Fumi a Peloton.
Define elite? There are maybe 4 or 5 teams with more wins than Penn State over the last 4 years.If being weird is having standards for huge contract extensions, ok. Instead our AD gets gamed by a guy who is not elite.
Or what Florida State is about to become.
Seriously, only four programs have more wins than Penn State over the past four seasons, and nobody was predicting Penn State to have ten wins this year. HD, stay in your shithole town and let the big boys (and girls) that know what they’re talking about make the right decisions for the program.
Valid point.shouldn't you hate FSU more for screwing this up for us?
If only we could find someone to donate a lake to but next to the Lasch building.That thing has an incredible lake view. I’m not sure what it takes to be nicer than that.
These types of posts bear no gravitas because they never offer a realistic alternative...it is too easy to state how bad something is if there is no need to identify a preferred option...not being confrontational, but for the sake of discussion which realistic alternative coach would have had the success that CJF has had at PSU to date, especially considering the situation at his time of hire?
Separately, looking forward, which realistic option would be expected to exceed the expectations for the CJF tenure in the near future?

I don't think happy will ever describe elite fanboys.C'mon - no one said Franklin was going to USC. What people, myself included, said was that USC is a tempting job with lots of built in advantages and that someone like Franklin or Meyer would probably kill it there. Penn State is also a top job with many of the same benefits and if Franklin were to leave, it would be because of money, or more probably, a desire to change his lifestyle. Let's be happy he's staying, shall we?

Sport? Ouch. That stung. Seriously, you clearly don’t understand how difficult it is to get to where we are right now. And how much more difficult it will be to get to OSU, Clemson, Alabama level. There is a reason only a few teams have been able to crash their annual party.

That is why some people need to learn to enjoy years like this one. Franklin is a perfect fit for PSU and he is going to do everything possible to get us to that level, but he is fighting against exactly that.The “semi-pro level” where your quarterback doesn’t attend any classes. And the big screwup is taking “traceable money”.
That's funny in a good way. Not funny like some of the other nonsense people are spewing....just funny!A Penn State insider told me the first thing Franklin is going to do after signing the extension is buy Fumi a Peloton.

That's the only score that Rahne would cause.I'd love to see that. There would be a score of strokes here.
perfect, perfect, perfectOut of the playoffs, out of the playoffs, out of the playoffs, out of the playoffs, out of the playoffs!!!
You must not have read the posts very carefully...many said he was going.C'mon - no one said Franklin was going to USC.

Preach!Anyone that thinks osu hasn't received more than one huge unfair advantage this year is kidding themselves.
We have a good team this year and we and were given almost zero chance to beat osu. osu with their BULLSHIT transfer 5 star QB who NEVER should have been allowed to play this year. Yeah I said it again and I will continue to bitch about it because it's bullshit.
And we still have posters who are not elite.
She doesn't need it anymore than the girl in the commercial. Just sayin.
So says Mr. BasuraPenn State has many fans that are straight garbage.
Well done as always.Am I supposed to be happy about Franklin getting an extension? I want to be on the right side of this.
