It was pretty clear he didnt prepare yesterday......2020 was a pointless season. It looked like Franklin didn’t prepare. But then we won our final four games. The question is why did he fire the OC after that turnaround? Was that just to save face for the start?
That's funny. I wonder how often he'll change jobs. No loyalty from Fickle. Sounds like a Dickens character.Fickle
It seems Larry has risen again.You should be the next head coach.
Just in time for the McAndrew Board swan song. Really looking forward to his "contribution" on the new board.It seems Larry has risen again.
I encourage you to go research the W/L records and poor quality of the opponents CJF beat during those 2 seasons. I'll give you a hint: it isn't impressive.This post proves you are clueless….you do realize Vanderbilt was the nobody school in the conference, right? Every team they beat had a better program. So he won nine games in back to back seasons with a program no one could win at before or since, but it was because he didn’t beat any good teams. Definitely the dumbest post of the year winner….congrats.
Campbell just needs to close. The position coaches need to have the connections.One won’t be available (Fickell), two won’t take the job. So that leaves us needing to believe that Campbell is indeed much better. I think he is probably better but it’s not a sure bet, and I don’t know if he has the recruiting connections in the right regions. It’s easy to say fire the coach, much more complicated when you realize what hitting reset actually looks like
He was at Vanderbilt….regardless of win loss record, pretty much every program he beat was a better program. That’s like a MAC school beating a bunch of P5 teams and someone saying it wasn’t impressive because the P5 schools were down.I encourage you to go research the W/L records and poor quality of the opponents CJF beat during those 2 seasons. I'll give you a hint: it isn't impressive.
Kind of reminds you of his stint at vanderbiltRecord does not represent beating anyone with a pulse. Meanwhile continues to lose against teams that a Pennstate team should not.
There. Is this what your penn state deserves? Or do want better?

Damn. Auburn sucks worse than I thought…65-30 won loss record after the next game
1 Big Ten championship in 8 years
1-8 against Ohio State and the win was 5 years ago
3-4 in games after a bye with all 4 losses at home in what is regarded as one of the biggest home field advantages in college football
In 2017 with what was your best team, you lose to Ohio State with a 3 touchdown lead, then lose the next game to an underdog Michigan State
In 2018 once again you lose to Ohio St with a 2 score lead and once again lose at home after a bye week to an underdog team
In 2020 you set an all time school record for worst start and you finish 4-5
In 2021 the exact same trend continues as you lose to the worst team in the conference after a bye week to a 24 point underdog
In 8 years you have failed to develop a competitive, even average offensive line that is capable of moving defensive linemen, even FCS Villanova
You are 9-8 since 2020
You cannot develop quarterbacks
You are incapable of rational clock management during games and decision making in general during games
There. Is this what your penn state deserves? Or do want better?
What, winning nine games in back to back seasons where no one else has done that before or since? Good lord.Kind of reminds you of his stint at vanderbilt
Damn. Auburn sucks worse than I thought…
Probably best to see how the last half of this season unfolds and whether or not the staff can hang on to current commits.You’ve got to take out the first three years due to sanctions and last year due to the state of PA screwing up the season due to COVID fear porn
So you want to replace Franklin with a coach with a worse record?Dave Clawson
AP poll is not relevant. Look at coaches poll and then the only poll that matters at all is the playoff poll. Once that comes out, the rest mean nothing.You forgot Pitt is even ranked higher than we are!!!
Campbell is from Ohio and coached in the MAC he can recruit the area but it’s not going to happen unless Franklin leaves on his own and even then it may not happen.Campbell just needs to close. The position coaches need to have the connections.
Ha, whatever dude, you don’t know much about coaches. You probably wanted Al Golden or Munchak in 2014.That's insane. His resume doesn't show anything that says he's ready to take PSU to the next level.
I’ve seen Brohm suggested as a replacement. A guy with a record of 23-28 in the BigTen west.So you want to replace Franklin with a coach with a worse record?
Clawson is a solid offensive minded coach who has won at all 4 Division 1 schools he has coached at. He has steadily worked his way up the ranks Fordham, Richmond, Bowling Green and Wake Forest. Plus he is a NE guy. Not saying he would be my number 1 choice but he is a good veteran coach.Ha, whatever dude, you don’t know much about coaches. You probably wanted Al Golden or Munchak in 2014.
Guess what, Ruhle or Fickell are not coming to PSU. Campbell is a maybe. Clawson is the anti-Franklin. He prepares meticulously, his players have less talent than most of there opponents, but he wins. He wins with hard nosed well coached players who limit mistakes and optimize opportunities.
Let’s see, the coach at state college high could win 7-8 games a year at PSU.So you want to replace Franklin with a coach with a worse record?
So how many games do you think PSU would win the Big East with less talent? I don’t care how great an X’s and O’s guy you are, you’re not beating OSU, Michigan, MSU, with three star guys.Ha, whatever dude, you don’t know much about coaches. You probably wanted Al Golden or Munchak in 2014.

Fickell’s too smart to go to USC. What was Lincoln Riley, Ryan Day and Dabo’s record when they all took over. A combined 0-0 as head coaches.Ok. Just for the record, I never wanted Al Golden or Munchak at any point ever. And I already know Ruhle is not coming; and Fickell will be at USC so that's a non-issue. You don't need to tell me any of that.
Clawson's career highlight before this year was the when he took Bowling Green to the Pizza Hut Bowl or something like that. There is just nothing on paper that says he is ready to come into a place like PSU and take it to the national playoff
And Dabo’s the only one who built anything.I’m

Don’t worry, if he leaves I’m sure the next guy will have a NC for us within three years….would you like to wager on that?Too many “Franklin FanBoys” to see this program has peaked under his leadership. One top 15 win since he arrived. Pathetic showing consistently against inferior talent should have Franklin on the hot seat. Unfortunately he is owed to much money so he will be here awhile. Everyone needs to keep there expectations low, this way you won’t be dissatisfied with the performance.
People are not demanding national championships. People are demanding a much better product on the field. The past two seasons have been a disaster for Franklin and the team. His teams and players are woefully unprepared and it is frustrating to watch. Not to mention seeing at least a half a dozen clips of him "spitting" on the sidelines yesterday. My parents and my children all commented on his "spitting" yesterday, and it was pretty embarrassing and trashy if you ask me.Don’t worry, if he leaves I’m sure the next guy will have a NC for us within three years….would you like to wager on that?
You start working on the “who” behind the scenes. Their are a number of possibilities but the best of the best would be a tough get.Is he worthy of his contract? No
Is he worthy of all the yearly love from other schools? No
Given the sanctions has he done a great job up until now? Yes
Is the seat hot? Yes
The only question that matters…..do you know 100% that Rhule, Fickell or someone of that level is definitely coming? If the answer is yes, then I’m on board. If not, you hope that OL and OC click at the start of next year.
Lol...how's it feel to be outnumbered now aws...? Shoes finally on the other foot.It's not that people are demanding national championships. People are demanding a much better product on the field.

If Saban could go to Bama, certainly Rhule can not be ruled out at PSU.Ha, whatever dude, you don’t know much about coaches. You probably wanted Al Golden or Munchak in 2014.

Really? He spits too much? And obviously 42 wins in four years isn’t enough to earn some leeway for a bad year last year (this year isn’t over yet) with a slightly unusual situation, so I’m guessing they are demanding national championships. And guess what, no one out there is going to get the program to where these posters want it to be, but at least there won’t be spitting.People are not demanding national championships.

He makes 8.5 million per year currently. Did Tombros make another donation?If Saban could go to Bama, certainly Rhule can not be ruled out at PSU.
Interesting that 5-2 is a disaster when that was the common prediction for their record after seven games.m and that was assuming Clifford was healthyPeople are not demanding national championships.

Yea, very unusual to see spitting in sports. Guess he doesn’t watch baseballReally? He spits too much?

But the same tired old excuse is used…it’s not that we lost, it’s how we lost. We hear it every year after every loss. So according to these geniuses, Franklin should be undefeated since 2016 because every game we lost was one that we should have won.Interesting that 5-2 is a disaster when that was the common prediction for their record after seven games.m and that was assuming Clifford was healthy
