For your information, he successfully coached HS football @ a high level. He won't defend himself, but I will take up for him. He's a good man and has access to the PSU practices and coaches.
K Lee Rumor

Thanks Rick. No need to feed trolls like him. Btw, the Elks were highlighted on the z today Show this morning in their Friday night lights series. I haven’t seen the piece yet but heard it was well done. Hope they can beat Wayne tonight. #EPND. Too bad Kirk won’t be in town for the white out.
You have trouble with reading comprehension so I am the troll??? Yeah, I like that math.
As they say, you should control what you can control and as an SVP, you should know that principle. Franklin could have controlled the narrative, but he let the media and the fans create a distraction by speculating that K Lee may or may not be apart of the team. For a Penn State Football Team with few, if any leaders, the team does not need any additional distractions.
Well said, and my point in my original thread. There are times, and I know he doesn't care what we think, that he brings unwanted attention to things when a simple other answer would have stopped it in his tracks. I love JF and hope he is the coach for a log, long time. With that comes the ability to grow in all aspects of the position. I do not believe, and yes I know he doesn't care, that he has improved in this aspect.
Exactly. Franklin let’s Illinois run a goal line offense during homecoming week last year and gets embarrassed. but at the same time he’s playing chess by being coy about player status? Like wtf are some people smoking.
If they haven't done anything elsewhere.... What does that say about our ability to evaluate recruits?
I am currently taking applications for the "Make In Region A Priority Again" club. Our MRPA Hats are selling lot hot cakes.
Yes, they are having an excellent football season. Hope they beat Wayne. Their bballteam should once again be very strong.
Do you really think the media is a distraction in the Lasch building when they know the facts?
How good would that bball team be if the freshman in the psu went to cville a private school in Indiana. I was a bball practice this week as I think you said you were. He’s a good looking kid.
I’m sure it is when the kid himself probably has kids walking up to him asking him if he quit the football team
As a former coach, what the heck is the problem with our O-Line? Serious question as I would love a coach's perspective.
I literally said at Ohio State, Georgia, Bama, etc should leave if they aren't playing....
What are you talking about
Almost all of the students that have left Penn State via the portal went to lesser universities which means they are NOT student athletes and therefore do not deserve to play college football. Big Ten football is not an NFL minor league despite what some people think. If you want to play minor league football, that is what the Cheater's League of Southern Junior Colleges (aka, the SEC) is for.
It's the funniest thing I've ever read here
As we all know--you can get a quality education almost anywhere. It's what you put into it. We aren't Harvard or even Northwestern or Vanderbilt to happens to be in the SEC.
Say what you want, we should be recruiting students first, athletes second. Anyone that says otherwise can go to hell. I get the graduate transfer. A player moving to a lesser school for playing time says they don't belong in college. Any college.
We've always recruited "the athlete' and if they were a legit student even better
To pretend everyone that goes to the SEC isn't a student or that everyone who comes here is a student first is simply inaccurate.
Even Cardale Jones graduated despite "not playing school"
Who's fault is that? Is that the coaching or did everyone just get it wrong over and over and over again
There is definitely a love fest with Florida and rightly so based on the players in the state. I think some people get carried away with the hype and inflate these players rankings.
True, I think often times Florida, California and Texas athletes are overrated
There will never be a “G League” in the fashion of the NBA because the NFL now has a CFB league with NIL and the portal. G League has 12-15 prospects on the team making ~$60k? A fb G League would have about 50 players. NFL ain’t gonna foot that bill again after shuttering NFL Europe.
I know in Texas that HS redshirting is practiced in some locations, not widespread. Kids are held back a grade, so they are then more physically mature in their junior and senior years.
I realize that the NFL has no incentive to do so, but there should be one to keep college football about COLLEGE.
Oh, come on.
It was far MORE about college in 1960, 1970s.
Was it 100% about college? No. That's why coaches always argued to let even the village idiot into college.
But it was far, far better.
50-60 years ago it was "more" about college--that's my point. It's always been about football and winning. Some people are acting that this is a new concept.
Seems like to me you are doing exactly what those who started the rumors did... making assumptions.
I've been on teams where a guy quits/throws a tantrum/feels sorry for himself/gets into it with a coach (enter any description here) and then the next day is back at practice. No one here (at least to this point) knows exactly what happened, so it's all conjecture. Perhaps he did quit and JF was counting on his assistants to bring him back into the fold? It's certainly possible. If that were the case, then JF should have answered exactly that way. To say he fully expected his return may not have been accurate at all in that moment. Things change and what may be true one hour may not be 2 hours later. Seems to me the rumor was more about message board chatter than media creating a distraction. But I don't know all of the details, nor do you.
Let’s pass up more talented players and get one that you know won’t contribute but think won’t transfer? That has to one of the dumber things I have heard.
Remember--we needed to play Allar to win today smh
Minnesota without Morgan couldn't beat Colorado
Great job by Penn State dominating just how they should--second week in a row the score at halftime was misleading

What would you do? Sit singleton or Allen? This is where you flip and look dumb.
Until the team loses a game and then the success with honor bs goes out the window.
It wasn't--you just want it to be that way. If Paterno wasn't winning games and titles in the 70s and 80s he wouldn't have stayed
