I am making Pat Kraft the following offer: Keep Franklin ostensibly as the "Head Coach", but put aside $1,2000,000 of his annual salary. Hire me as a "subcontractor" to be the game day head coach and pay me $100,000 per game. I would gave won probably another ten or so winnable games during Franklins tenure with my game day decisions. I'll leave the recruiting and blabbering to Franklin...
James Franklin, the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, has a contract that guarantees him an annual compensation of $7 million from 2022 through 2031123. This includes a yearly base salary of $7 million, retention bonuses of $500,000 each year, and a $1 million annual loan for life insurance4. The total value of his contract, signed in late 2021, is $82,500,000, as long as he stays in town2. This does not include performance incentives2. If Penn State fires him without cause, the university will owe him every penny he is owed for the remainder of his deal in base salary, supplemental pay, and life insurance loan2. With nine years left on his contract, that means Franklin is guaranteed a total of $76,500,000 if he is fired today2.
Can we finally agree Franklin is a Fraud

Sandy Barber was a pretty bad AD.

This was even richer. He said nothing about himself. He said the analytics told him to go for 2.Very true. A name I hadn’t thought about in a long time.
All Franklin need to do it start his post game press conference by saying ‘it all starts with me…’.
Is this like the hurricane model? Noah? European? Which analytical model is he using?
Maybe he should learn about analytics before he uses them.
Exactly. Wyoming has a more dynamic and effective offense than Penn St does at times. That should never happen.
They can have him as far as I’m concerned.
And the BOT who supported her (and Barron)
One of the most unqualified and worst in history!
Franklin is a fraud. That should also be evident after ten years dude.
I think what it is for Franklin is we look at these situations thinking what happens if we don’t make it…Franklin makes these decisions thinking we’re going to make it. That often leads to poor decisions when they don’t make it.
He went for 4th and 6 yesterday. In what universe would any sane person think we're making that?
Decisions aren't judged on the result. They're determined by was it the right decision regardless of the outcome. 14-9 in the first half of a low scoring game you kick the XP every time. Decisions like that is why Harsin failed at Auburn. You trust your elite defense to get a stop instead of going for 4th & 6. We all knew when the offense took the field the game was over. He makes emotional decisions time after time.
Franklin not accepting blame directly for the 2nd 2 point mathematics error is absolutely unacceptable. We haven’t always agreed with Dave Jones, but at least he had the stones to challenge his answer on that blunder. He’s a recruiter not a game day coach and it shows in almost every big game.
After ten years of poor performance, you’d expect a wholesale change in football philosophy, blocking schemes, play calling, game management to stop doing the same things that aren’t making you successful, but yet it’s always more of the same. This coach can’t put all three phases of the game together in a big game and it’s time for us to find a way out for him.

I wouldn't even include MSU in the equation. There were some really BAD MSU teams among those 4 wins. Even the Michigan wins came against less than vintage Michigan teams. Have any of the 3 Michigan wins came against a good , not even saying elite, Michigan teams? As for the 1 win against OSU, we all know how that happened.
Yes, yes, yes! He talked about points being a premium and then leaves points on the field while giving the opposition the ball in easy FG (at minimum) territory in a one score game with your defense playing lights out.
