Thanks for the advice, I am taking notes.

What does “enjoying the year” have to do with actual results?

Once again, Penn State did not win a single game they were not expected to win. Happens year after year after year.

Players come and go… so do coordinators but what is the constant?
Ohio State did not win a single game this year they weren’t expected to win and they lost two…..I guess their year was a failure.

The constant is you crying over every move. No one takes you seriously…..predictable as the sun coming up.

Proof of my suggestion. What exactly is a "signature" win? Who invented the phrase? Do you think each year coaches gather and say.....well Tom finally got his signature win! Or boy, do I ever need a signature win. LOL
Franklin is a top 10 coach in the nation and has established himself with winning percentage, top ten finishes and NY6 bowl victories. This year PSU defeated #16,#12 and #8 on the way to the quarter finals.
You can cry all you'd like.....but Franklin his here for a long. long, time unless HE chooses to leave. So the fact that this makes people like you miserable adds to my support of him
Who’s miserable? And no one is saying “we deserve better” - other than you.

But we could do better. And have done so…much better. Could again with the right pieces in place.

Can’t figure out what a signature win is? I will slow it down for you: What is Franklin’s best road win while at Penn State?

Explain why PSU should be better than OSU, Michigan and Oregon.
I know what the fanboys call a signature win. Franklin won the Big Ten with a win over Wisconsin. He won the Rose Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl over Utah and Washington. He won two playoff games. The problem is yours.....not his.
You don't even get good reviews on the other website. Starting to feel sorry for you, lumpy.

I have “enjoyed” quite a few.

I think my favorite was losing to Indiana with an over 99% chance to win and still losing It was pure joy!

I think most fanboys think coaches are infallible.

Most people outside of the PSU bubble of fanboys like yourself agree that Franklin is not optimizing things at PSU.

I enjoy pointing out the obvious for those of us fantasy land.

…just like you enjoy stating xx more years, Skippy.

At least wasn't a "big" game. boohoo. Also, PSU didn't lose that game QB was OOB.
You are correct- he was short of goal.

And you were also right, it was not a big game. Lost that one too! Against a team we were much more talented.

Takes a real coaching superstar to accomplish that!

You enjoy pointing out the obvious? That takes every bit of intelligence you can muster.

But they didn’t beat anyone they weren’t expected to beat. Apparently that’s the bar.

Please tell me a coach that has never lost a game that they shouldn’t have…..I’ll wait.

You must have loved Toledo then? And the 6-4 Iowa debacle.

Does he know any WRs that came come with him?
I’m really curious to see which WRs may hit the portal in the spring. It may not be top level guys like after the season ended, but there may be a diamond in the rough.

50% of teams competing lose. It's hard to grasp from the bleachers.

The coach he played for 😜
