I think Franklin has completely deflated support of the fan base, you just can’t trust this guy to win a big game. On national college football shows yesterday, Franklin was the laughing stock - same old Penn State.
I’m worried to ever become Nebraska or any of these other schools that fall in the trap of firing coaches, but it really does feel like it’s time to part ways with James. I’m not confident in the next guy but I’m just at a point that we should try. Every year this happens.
Yurcich will probably take the fall for this rather than Franklin but it’s becoming painfully obvious that Franklin has something in mind for his offenses and it never pans out. OL never holds up, WRs can’t get separation, and lack of QB development. Playcalling was absolutely atrocious.
Defense is elite and the best in the country. McCord was scared at times. The hold call on the scoop and score should be picked up - iffy call to begin with and the QB was never even able to get the ball off. And the goal line stand? Phenomenal. Do whatever it takes to keep Manny, but I have a feeling he’s jumping ship because the offense isn’t holding up the bargain.
What else can be said about Marvin Harrison? Best WR I’ve ever seen at the college level. And their coaching finds creative ways to get him the ball. Another major difference in comparison to PSU’s coaching.
