A good coaching staff with ok talent keeps games close. We have ok talent not great. Michigan has done what ever they wanted and PENN State is going through the motion. Would you say PSU played hard from start to finish. If not who is it on

Zero effort from top to bottom! I would scrap the whiteout. Not worth the effort!

The B1G is the sec of wrestling and the some.
Cael's coaching a niche non-revenue sport with about 70 teams - most of which are underfunded and really only 1-2 teams each year have a prayer of winning. CJF is coaching THE revenue sport against an array of schools willing to do whatever is needed to win. Kinda apples and oranges

I can't imagine watching a game with some of you. All you do is complain about everything!
Hey, losing a close, competitive game, no problem. Watching "elite" coaches and players get blasted in ever aspect of the game is another. Gave Franklin a break for covid in 2020 and injuries in 2021, but I guess new excuses this season. Not even competitive.

This is how a mediocre team starts the season 5-0 and finishes 6-6 or 7-5

Well now I wish I would have gone to the Ferris State vs Grand Valley State game today. Number 1 vs number 2 in division 2.

21-16 Ferris in the forth Qt

I’ve had it. Not worth watching any more.

Just sick of watching unprepared and uninspired teams play with poor in-game coaching and no halftime adjustments. That is CJF football. His only positive is that he is an above average recruiter. Otherwise, he is worse than the less than stellar JoePa coaching during his decline.
The bye week time should have been spent by the coaches preparing for the Michigan game instead of recruiting. CJFs focus is wrong.

Some here just will not admit to it. They're willing to accept this and those who dare question these type of performances are disloyal. So be it, call my disloyal.
I am with you. Mediocre team and less than mediocre coaching. No linebackers at all. Offensive line coach needs to be canned.

so, 7-5, 8-4 9-3 we should just shut up and be happy...manage our expectations.Oh, but please send more $$ to PSU we need better locker rooms, dorms, tutors, NIL sponsors....but no matter after you send money just shut up and be happy.The best part of this whole thing is that I cancelled season tickets. I no longer have any money invested in PSU football. I know, shut up and be happy!!
Isn’t that what it feels like? How else would you describe Franklin’s extension after 2 extremely mediocre seasons?

This game is so telling of our program. Not close to being a top ten team. Poor tackling, weak front 7, over matched OL, 6th year qb with no feel for the game, overrated young talent….endless negatives. I have lost hope for PSU football. 2020/21 weren’t apparitions. This is who we are.. ****!
Will be a long time (if ever) before you'll see Penn State football as it once was. Penn State is pretty much irrelevant these days.

Does our AD have the stones to do what needs to be done?
We at least have to shift the paradigm. Franklin talks like he runs the Athletic department. Even just a tepid comment from our AD once like "we shouldn't be getting blown out like that and its going to be unacceptable moving forward at Penn State, James knows that more than anyone." Couple that with some dwindling attendance and maybe starts to teach his team to fight a little bit more.

He is comfortable and confident he is safe--hence why I have stated more than once his arrogance

How many years will this continue? Again, its not losing, it's being dismantled
As long as it’s allowed to continue. For those that see a huge recruiting and talent disparity, Klatt just said the teams are evenly matched. So where is the problem? I think Klatt suggested the problem.
