In one of the pregame shows they talked about coaches being on the "hot seat". Someone asked who is on the bigger "hot seat", Ryan Day or James Franklin? The reply was whoever loses today....... :lol:


James Franklin Responds to Heckling Penn State Fan After Latest Loss to Ohio State​

Following Ohio State's latest win over Penn State, a Nittany Lion fan had some words for Franklin as the coach walked off the field Saturday afternoon. Franklin stared at the fan, who continued to heckle him, and asked, "What's your name? “If you’re gonna be man enough to talk, what’s your name?” The fan then walked away.



That wasn't the first fan to show displeasure toward Franklin. As the coach watched Ohio State celebrate on the field, the Penn State faithful booed Franklin before the school's band played its alma mater.



While some Penn State fans booed Franklin and the Nittany Lions' performance, others even chanted "Fire Franklin!" as he walked toward the locker room after the game.



"I understand the frustration," Franklin said in his postgame press conference. "Guys in the locker room are just as frustrated, if not more, but college football has changed, and we have an opportunity moving forward to right some wrongs from today, and that's what we're going to focus on. I get it. We get an unbelievable crowd here. Unbelievable support. You don't do that without passion. There are great things to come from that and there are hard things to come from that. That's part of the job, and I own it all."

James Franklin's Record in Big Games: How the Penn State Head Coach Performs When It Matters Most

No. 3 Penn State hosts No. 4 Ohio State in Week 10. It's a crucial game for both sides, but James Franklin has a chance to rewrite the narrative.
collegefootballnetwork.com collegefootballnetwork.com

Franklin’s Nittany Lions have long been the third fiddle to conference heavyweights Ohio State and Michigan, owning a 4-16 record against the two programs.

Penn State has at least dispatched the Wolverines a few times in Franklin’s tenure. But the Buckeyes have had the program’s number, going 9-1 against Franklin and 5-0 under head coach Ryan Day.

Buyout Details of James Franklin's New Contract

Penn State coach James Franklin has new buyout terms in his 10-year contract that runs through 2031.
www.si.com www.si.com

Buyout Details of James Franklin's New Contract​

Nov 23, 2023​

Franklin and Penn State agreed to a new 10-year contract worth a guaranteed $70 million that includes multiple incentive clauses. Franklin will make an additional $1.5 million annually in incentives and can make up to $1 million per year in performance bonuses. The contract also makes it costly for Penn State to fire Franklin for performance reasons.

According to the buyout terms, Penn State would owe Franklin $8 million (his guaranteed salary plus a $1 million loan for life insurance) times the number of remaining years on the contract if it terminates him without cause.

As a result, Penn State's buyout is $72 million in 2022, $64 million in 2023 and $56 million in 2024. Even after five years, Franklin's termination buyout is $40 million. The term sheet Penn State released does not include whether those numbers can be mitigated or negotiated.

Conversely, if Franklin leaves for another NFL or college coaching position, he would owe Penn State these annual buyout totals:
  • 2022: $12 million until April 1, $8 million after April 1
  • 2023: $6 million
  • 2024: $2 million
  • 2026-30: $1 million
  • 2031: No buyout
Just sayin': If those buyout terms are accurate (and they probably are) Franklin isn't going anywhere for several more years. See the terms of Franklin's buyout (above) if he leaves Penn State. Notice the differenced in each parties' buyout; the Penn State lawyer who negotiated that contract was a moron...... :lol:

Holy hell, it’s a slow day, and I just watched Franklin‘s press conference on BTN. What an idiot. Yeah, I mean me for watching that idiot.

He got asked about the backup QB, Beau Pribula, who entered the transfer portal yesterday, He complimented him, said he was a good teammate, had a tough decision, they talked it over, he understood his decision. Then he understandably said that college football has problems right now, that the transfer portal shouldn’t be open while the playoffs are going on. Then he kept talking about it for about 5 minutes and then said he needed to focus on SMU. Well, James, that would be easier if you only spent 30 seconds saying that college football needs to address the issue of the portal being open in December.

Then they asked him about starting QB Drew Allar, who just said he’s coming back next year, and he spent a couple more minutes talking about the difficulty of having to make a decision now. And then he said SMU, SMU, SMU.

And then a guy asks him “Having looked at the film of the Oregon game …” and Ffsnklin interrupts him and says “you’re one of those guys, I worked with a guy from Jersey for a while, and he used to say what you just said: ‘orruh-GAWN” I knew another guy who said that, and different parts of the country, blah, blah, blah, He wasted 45 seconds talking about how the guy pronounced the Ducks’ state, and he was full of crap. I re-listened to the question a couple of times, and the guy said “ORE-uh-g’n”. I’ve spent a lot of time in that state, and the reporter‘s version was very close to what it’s supposed to be.

So James, if you want to focus on your game with SMU, why take up almost 10 minutes bitching about the portal situation and then meaninglessly interrupt a guy asking a football question and correct him when there’s nothing to correct?

This press conference was not elite.

Apparently Franklin has a rule that if you want to enter the transfer portal you can't be on the team anymore. (I'm not sure how true this is, read it somewhere else, but seems like a James Franklin thing to do)

Imagine if Allar gets hurt against SMU and they lose because of it.

Their backup is a 4* true freshman who's gotten zero play and i'm sure not much serious run in practice either up until now. Him having to play would basically be equal to Keinholz getting thrown into the bowl game against Missouri for us last year, not good.
