James “not elite” Franklin (HC Penn St. Nittany Lions)

[Woody1968]

So here's a question........do we want Franklin to leave, if it opens the door for Drew Allar to come here, but it also opens the door for Fickell to go there.

I can't see Fickell taking that job. It's beneath him.

This.

ND and OSU are on the approved list from Mrs Fickell. That Pensyltucky hell hole with all it's mutants is not the place to take the family.

I'm sure you follow recruiting more than I do. Were we worried about Hackenberg going to Penn State? Should we worry that Allar is any better?

Clearly it was not filed with the correct elitist prick.

So Franklin basically has 1 foot out the door already. That's sure to do well for team morale the rest of the season.

Kinda like losing to Illinois will help morale? Failing to score from the 3 yard line in 6 tries. Against Illinois.

JAMES FRANKLIN MISSPEAKS AHEAD OF OHIO STATE GAME: “MY FOCUS IS COMPLETELY ON ILLINOIS”

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/coll...s0F3qJvncz_8RFc-Pn4cMU2pCZj336hVcqODT2DcWogpQ

Franklin referenced Illinois multiple times in his press conference, despite the obvious fact that the Nittany Lions are playing Ohio State in five days. To make matters worse, Franklin slipped again, calling Ohio Stadium "The Big House."

So, still not elite? Or 4D chess? I can't tell......

There is a reason Franklin gets paid 7 million a year to coach PSU, and I don't think it is because he's an elite coach.

He's setting up his departure to "spend more time with his family" at the end of the season, only to take the LSU or USC job sometime around the first week of January.
