Fire Franklin. This is coaching malpractice!/Combined complaints post UCLA

[MacNit]

Kotelnicki is a fraud. Offense vanilla and horizontal until we fall behind by 2+ scores. The 4 redzone plays at the end were comically inept, especially with 10 in game and 13 on bench.

#13 was completely underused and disrespected today….again.

 

[donaldfair71]

This team and most of its fan base, has an entitlement attitude that undermines the actual difficult planning and damn hard work it takes to reach the top in sports.

In year 12 I feel entitled to beat UCLA that lost at home by 25 to New Mexico. Guilty.

What’s $50 million between friends???

 

[Classof09]

Your unending verbal diarrhea of pro-Franklin posts deserve same. GFY twice and then come back to the board and formally apologize for being innately stupid.

It's time. Sit down with Franklin and negotiate an exit strategy. Let Franklin go to a middling ACC or Big 12 squad to help rebuild their program. Get someone who understands how to build teams in the trenches. Someone willing to sit an ineffective player, regardless of whether it hurts his draft stock.

What exit strategy? You fire him and pay the buyout. There is no incentive for Franklin to work with PSU on an exit, unless Penn State is going to go all Play Now with George Costanza.

Franklin would be better served by going the Urban route and just retiring early. Get a nice gig on the Fox Big Noon pregame show or some such.

Yeah, being upset at losing as a 25 point favorite to a 0-4 team that got smoked by New Mexico now apparently makes fans “entitled”. Kool aid status doesn’t even come close to describing some fans here.

If he has invested even poorly, Frankin will never need to work another day im his life.

When can he start?

Why? He’d leave $50 million on the table.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Are you thinking negotiated buy out?

 

[Still in State Colllege]

There is no buyout for Penn State. They owe the balance of the contract if they for him. Buyouts are in contracts if the coach wants to leave to coach elsewhere.

 

[SleepyLion]

Sunk for 5 more years or a negotiated buy-out such that it gets paid and PSU starts anew?

Sunk in that is is getting paid $50m if he is coach or not. If PSU cut ties CJF gets $50m if CJF continues to be coach he gets $50m.

Urban, Gruden then Kiffin. Not sure Gruden wants to coach college

I think he would if it was Penn State.

 

[MtNittany]

He would sink the grad rates and the players would start ending up in jail

Players still attend classes and maintain "normal progress" towards a degree? Sure they do.

How can a school with 800,000 living alumni not have the money to send this douchebag packing. And can’t we send trump and his cronies after Barbour for signing such a god awful contract.

 

[johnmpsu]

Give Franklin a different job and name somebody on the staff head coach. They have to pay him anyway. Head janitor works for me. He could be the highest paid janitor in history.

 

[PAgeologist]

Like I said in another post. Don’t fire him…just move him out of the football office. It’ll be far cheaper to keep him on the payroll then buy out his ridiculous contract. Maybe his pride would compel him to walk away.

Move him to the basement.

i know one thing: It won't be Billo

Why is this guy at high school games during the season? Your job is to coach your team.

Put him on the cheerleader squad, that’s all he is ………… a cheerleader.

I am hopeful.

'Tis better that it happened earlier in the season rather than later.

I tried to tell you people years ago.

 

[PSU87]

Urban.

Yes. Whatever it takes.

 

[LMTLION]

I am now firmly on the fire franklin train. I can understand this being a trap game traveling out west after a hard fought loss to Oregon. I cannot understand the lack of effort and basic understanding of the game of football on Franklin’s part. It is inexcusable. He is not mentally present.

 

[BVSt.Paul]

How’s Urban’s health?

 

[PAgeologist]

We need to get our brand back of a hard-nosed football program. It is MIA (to say the least).

Im sure the team all got their hugs and coloring books for the trip home.

 

[Alphalion75]

I consider that a positive

Not in this age of college football.

Ricky Rahne

Reality is that James is coming back next year unless he chooses to leave.

[Ram20]

Brian hartline? Be a big risk, but you get great reviever play ans recruiting almost guaranteed, which means Qbs might flock.

Sounds exactly like Saban. I know he wouldnt want to coach, but i sure would bring him in to help with the search, including interviews. I want Saban to help find the next Saban.
