91 was a darn good team and came within a play of beating Miami at Miami.
What do you get from James Franklin for $7.5 million?

You don’t really expect this kind of post at the end of a 10-2 season heading into a Rose Bowl. Weird.
With due respect, you are one crotchety and angry old man. Seriously. You denigrate and take cheap shots
All
The
Time.
it has gotten progressively worse since I have started posting on the internet, I kind of hate it but I do much better in more formal circumstancesYeah, but your punctuation sucks.
No respect necessary. I am admittedly a crotchety old man. But in the case in point....I didn't bring the father into the conversation, and wasn't the one who said that "Felix" or whoever he was had better ideas on education. Look at the posts.
With due respect, anyone is permitted to use the ignore feature.
And yet virtually every thread has posters denigrating James Franklin or Sean Clifford. I guess it isn't as much fun when it turns around.
Only a rare, complete idiot on a message board actually could or even believe himself capable of coaching a major college football team. The concept is preposterous. Why people encourage them by engaging them mystifies me.
Unfortunately you attack and denigrate everyone who has even the slightest passing unfavorable remark regarding Franklin and company. Whom by the way I believe is doing an excellent job, but at times is not above question. Everyone on this planet no matter what they do is subject to criticism (sometimes valid and sometimes not) from people who don’t or can’t perform their work function. I fail to see why someone with your supposed background is unable to understand this. Especially on an anonymous message board where troublemakers need ever fear a face to face confrontation.
Therefore I suggest that you follow your own advice and utilize the ignore button for posters that offend you. Because to my knowledge you have not been appointed as The Palladian of PSU football, none of us have.
You are the one who brought up the idea that school custodians don’t have more than a 9th grade education……
Next year James will finally have the elite QB that has eluded him throughout his otherwise recruiting successes at State. He’ll also have collectively (on paper) the best OL any of his rosters has had. That’s a lot of cream potentially rising to the top. Can his coaching ride with it?
Whatever the outcome. I can predict the sentiment here will be.....We deserve better.
That is likely true of some. I'd say I'm sorry you don't agree or understand my premise......but honestly I don't give a damn if you don't like it.
Why such a foul mood? You’re generally somewhat enjoyable to me in here and you have your schtick about the coaching comments (that I enjoy) but you’re really coming off as just angry for no reason. What’s up?
Honestly no reason. You didn't like my analogy. I asked you to reread it to better understand my point. You insisted that I made a universal attack on folks who earn a living through manual labor. Tom jumped in to somehow translate my comments as an attack on his deceased father.....LOL.....My Dad was a mechanic.....worked with his hands his entire life. One thing about him, he wasn't a know it all. He never would have pretended to know how to run a school district, perform surgery or coach a football team. He would have respect for the knowledge, education and time commitment it took to attain those positions. When asked for his opinion, he'd likely have been shrewd enough to respond by saying he had enough headaches taking care of his business.
I happen to come from a dissimilar backround than the majority of posters here. I don't expect most to understand or agree. It doesn't make me a better person. My life's work has just given me a perspective that is much different. It's not easy being a "glorified gym teacher."
Without that janitor working at that school your name wouldn't be on that stadium. Team game from top to bottom. Remember that. Joe would've smacked you across the head for that comment.Honestly no reason. You didn't like my analogy. I asked you to reread it to better understand my point.

Hey man look, I’m going to say this because I’m familiar with you on here and I know a bit of your backstory. It’s a tough time of year for many people. I know what you’ve been through and I can’t imagine and it sucks. As much as a connection as you can have to somebody else through this weird digital world, I can empathize with you and your loss. You’ve been through some tough things. So I’ll just end this by wishing you a joyful season and hope we can all just move on from this.Honestly no reason. You didn't like my analogy.

I know you're going to lash out like a wounded child trying to save his pride, rather than listen to me, but ... take a mental health break ... for everyone's benefit, including your own.

Your self aggrandizement knows no bounds.
Threaten to shoot anybody lately?
Kudos on the use of the word aggrandizement.
The root word “aggrandize” is one of the best words in the English vocabulary.
Let’s show some humanity. Tough time of the year for some folks.

You have 63 million to buy him out?You and I both know Franklin won't (thankfully) be at PSU 9 years from now.
No, but I do have time on my side and I'm a very patient individual.
James will be departing PSU around 2025/2026 either because he has better opportunities or the buy-out becomes financially ingestible by PSU.
