Does Penn State head coach James Franklin have something to prove?
Despite ten years of winning seasons, Penn State fans are restless for a postseason bid. The mounting pressure to win on a bigger stage put Franklin on ESPN’s list of coaches with the most to prove this upcoming season. Is that a fair assessment of Franklin’s time in Happy Valley? Also, how does the new-look Big Ten change the perception and realistic expectations for the program?
We’ll discuss that idea with veteran reporters Nate Bauer and Fitz, who have their finger on the pulse of the program. What do you think? Join the live chat and give your thoughts, or leave a reply in the YouTube comments section!
