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

James Franklin halts job speculation, agrees to new 10-year deal at Penn State​

James Franklin has agreed to a new 10-year contract to remain as the Penn State head football coach through 2031.

The terms were approved by the Subcommittee on Compensation of the Penn State Board of Trustees on Tuesday.

The deal was announced in a school-issued news release.

The contract includes a yearly base salary of $7 million, retention bonuses of $500,000 each year and a $1 million annual loan for life insurance. Franklin previously signed a six-year deal in 2019. The terms of that contract would’ve had him earn $5.75 million next season with a $250,000 raise each remaining year.

Franklin’s future at Penn State had been a topic of much speculation in recent weeks, with his name linked to job openings at both Southern California and LSU.

Just sayin': Both James Franklin and Mel Tucker got very lucrative long term contracts a couple years ago because of speculation that they might leave (i.e. PSU & MSU) for another vacancy. In reality the other school(s) probably never would have offered them. Regardless, here's a serious suggestion for James Franklin:

DON'T HAVE PHONE SEX WITH BRENDA TRACY (OR ANY OTHER WOMAN AND/OR MAN FOR THAT MATTER).........:lol:
He’s the Ped state version of Mark Richt at Georgia

I haven’t actually cheered for a PSU victory since their ‘86 team beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl (before I knew about the whole child rape thing).

Tsun has actually gotten me to the point I’m rooting for the Pedsters.

The child rape enabling cult is less repulsive to me at this point than the DFBIA cult.

I may need some help.
