With the playoff expanding to twelve teams, expectations get adjusted for everyone, not only Franklin. There are no longer any acceptable excuses for not making it. And at some point, probably not immediately, making it and consistently exiting in the early rounds won't be good enough either (fundamentally it's the same as making and losing a non-playoff NY6 bowl).That sensation you just felt is Franklin’s hot seat.

With the entire landscape of the sport changing next season, there are more opportunities than ever for players and coaches to change perceptions.
The people who underwrite the payroll also pay the coach's salary. Fair has nothing to do with it.
Nonsense- the teams with the most talent will be the teams with the highest payrolls- the game we knew is gone.
So the bagmen will understand this and be "fair" to a coach who doesn't make the playoffs? Or maybe they'll realize that they shared the blame and will pony up more cash. Worked that way for Jimbo Fisher. Oh, wait........
If you're going to rate a coach, you have to take it into account. What the bagmen will do is what the bagmen will do.
I have a very simple coaches rating system: employed and unemployed.
In my next life I want to coach and get fired with 5 years left on my contract… have someone pay me $30 million to NOT go to work. BTW…. Franklins buyout drops to 56 million on Jan 1, 2025
Exactly! I said for years that I wanted to be the backup QB for the San Diego Chargers. Good money, little chance of getting hurt, living in San Diego. Give me a clipboard and a baseball cap. Perfect.
How I wish I could be on such a "hot seat." Playoffs or else....a 50+ million parting gift.That sensation you just felt is Franklin’s hot seat.

A more realistic one is...accomplished and independently wealthy or like those of us who feel empowered to critique them.
I would say that depends primarily on the development of #15.
That's a very real possibility. And if it happens, ESPN will cry every time it writes a check to the College Football Playoff. Even in a four-team format, the ratings are all over the place and that's not good when selling advertising slots.
I say that with heavy heart. I think they have significant losses and although Fleming helps, their wideout room is still lacking. How many losses do you think you can have to squeeze in? Can you get in with 3 losses? I don’t think so.
There are more than a handful of head coaches who are independently wealthy (unless they are totally profligate) and haven't accomplished much other than becoming independently wealthy.
Didn’t feel a thing. Saw that Day and Riley were on the list too. Long gone are the days where someone is an assistant coach for 17 years and takes 16 years to win his first National Championship as head coach.That sensation you just felt is Franklin’s hot seat.

Day is certainly on the hot seat. OSU is loaded for bear and unless Day wins the Big Ten championship and/or makes a deep playoff run there is a good chance he's gone.
