Being in the playoffs every year just guarantees we end each with a loss as long as James remains.
Not necessarily, 2016 we were clicking at the end of the season, won the B1G ship and were left out due to the bad sPitt loss earlier in the year. To date no 2 loss team has ever made it to the CFP.

My point is IF we're in the playoffs, 2 losses or not, starting next year we will lose our last game for as long as James is the HC. 2016 is not in the equation and we weren't in the playoffs that year. If we're not in the playoffs my statement is moot. Do you realize 12 teams make the playoffs next year?

True, like March Madness where 63 of the top 64 teams end with a loss.

Guess we should hope we're matched with Tulane.
Exactly. If James makes it out of the first round in any year we're in the playoffs, he's NEVER beating an elite team after that. Maybe we should hope for 9-3 record every year, go to the Mashed Potato Bowl held in Idaho where we could beat up on Tulane, as you say, or UMass and thus end the season on a winning note. False enthusiasm would reign throughout Happy Valley at least until James goes for it again on fourth and six from our own thirty with four minutes left in the game.

Just a few questions for you as a point of reference, Do you have season tickets? How much do you spend on Penn State Football? How long have you been a Penn State fan? What was the first game you attended? How many bowl games you gone to? Just want to know if we’ll really miss your support.

If you were asking me that question the answers are a) 10 for 40 years b) $15,000/yr c) 68yrs d) 1956 e) 11 -3 Orange Bowls; 1 Sugar Bowl; 1 Fiesta Bowls; 1 Rose Bowl +5 others

Success is quantified ; Honor is in the eye of the beholder.

For kicks and giggles I'll play along. a) since 2005 b) no clue c) 43 yrs d) 2001 v Miami sadly e) zero

Did I meet or exceed your minimum standard? LOL

I don't know what to tell you.
They should hire him. He was rumored to be replacing Coach Paterno before the events of 2011. He was friends with Paterno. I think he'd understand the way PSU wants to get it done and he'd get it done.

Out of curiosity. When the Franklin contract is up, now what do the 10-2, “success” with honor crowd want to do? Joe paterno this until CJF dies in office? Tell everyone he earned this so he gets to decide? Just stop playing football? Why is everyone a scum bag except for our coach? Why do we have to pretend that when we win we did it the right way but when everyone else wins they can’t possibly be also doing it the right way? The Penn State complex is alive and well.
I'll take "Hyperbole" for $200, Alex.

Hilarious. One guys is brought up and it's "everyone is a scum bag except for our coach'. 'when we win we did it the right way but when EVERYONE else wins they can't possibly also doing it right".

Hyperbole of the day.

Every disappointed fanbase is howling for Urban. I'm not ready to toss out JF yet. I think PSU has some built in disadvantages compared to OSU and UM. Like it or not, we are a clear #3 in reputation. We can't recruit nationally yet, where the top 2 both can. Doesn't matter who the coach is. Urban brings a lot of baggage, too.
We are not going to hire him. But to say Utah Florida and osu wasn’t excited to win titles is ridiculous.

No problem......
we have a huge student population, jack-up each student's tuition $1,100, that'll take care of the buyout this year. :sneaky:
Some folks have no problem spending someone else's money...nor giving expert coaching advice from the cheap seats of the peanut gallery. 🙄
