Jimbo fired by aTm

Not at Penn State. We are after all "Unrivaled" with "Success with Honor."
At the breakfast table this morning:
Franklin: At least I‘m not jimbo fisher.
Fumi: But you could be.

A&M has a very unrealistic fan base. Can't see CJF being interested in this job
The Arkansas job on the other hand....

This makes him the biggest winner of the season by far.Have at it.

College athletics - much like society - is in serious need of a priority recalibration. Can anyone here imagine going into your HR office next week and demanding such a buyout clause???
Texas A&M would be foolish not to go after James Franklin.
Despite what you read from the malcontent "we deserve better" crowd on here, James has been a fine representative of our University, a splendid recruiter, and a successful coach. Just look at his winning record! It is the envy of many schools and their fan bases.
I would not block him taking the A&M job, he does not deserve the scorn that is being heaped upon him by people who think Penn State could be an elite program, like a fine SEC school such as A&M. Look at A&M's financial resources, their fan base, their facilities, their history, and their commitment to winning! We can't offer anything like that to a coach like James Franklin. It is James who deserves better!
When you put his candidacy in that light you see why any great school like A&M would be lucky to have James. Look what he did at a program like ours and just imagine what he could do at a school like A&M.
I hope Kraft and the PSU administration do not block James from taking the A&M job. Then the "we deserve better" crowd will learn how much they should be praising our fine coach.

Actually, it is HR departments themselves in this day and age that consume inordinate amounts of money.
Just another example along with Michigan State of why you don't give a football coach (or any other coach) a guaranteed contract like this with a giant buyout attached to it. Only Saban and maybe Kirby Smart have earned that privilege. All of these schools that have paid coaches not to coach are insanely stupid and the ADs who sign them to these deals should have their job status tied to the coach they sign. Of course, in our case and in aTm's, those ADs are gone. But the Sparty AD who signed Tucker to that insane deal is still there. That's a ton of money that could be better used elsewhere within the program.
Agree 100%.
When institutions whose primary mission is, allegedly at least, the conduct of teaching and research for the benefit and betterment of society as a whole, are paying people who coach kids in how to get better at playing kids' games with a ball -- in significant multiples of their most distinguished, productive and longest-serving faculty, something is obviously very, very much "out of whack".
And I suspect the needed priority recalibration will only come when society matures to the point of understanding what truly leads to a sense of contentedness and fulfillment in life and that, beyond a certain minimum point, the answer does not lie in maximizing personal annual income or net financial worth.
I realize he
I realize he won a National Championship at FSU (largely courtesy of Jamis Winston who was 27-1) but talk about a coach who has done less with more since. But he’s laughing all the way to the bank.Have at it.

Why the hell would Franklin want to coach at Arkansas? Seriously.
Because there’s no McAndrew Board?
How can schools afford to pay the coaches so much freaking money?

Data is a couple years old - but it is what it is:
What can Penn State Athletics do in response to the recent SCOTUS rulings? An opportunity to re-awaken the Grand Experiment (substack.com)
Very important point: And the transient "administrative elite" (ADs Presidents etc) roll merrily along - strolling behind their wheelbarrows full of $$$ - with no accountability whatsoever.
That is an interesting question - but Deon has done a pretty good job with the DL, IMO.
