Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Penn State AD Pat Kraft Says James Franklin’s Record in Big Games Played Role in Firing

Kraft said Penn State will cover the $49 million buyout it owes Franklin. It's the second-largest buyout in college football history behind Jimbo Fisher's $76 million buyout from Texas A&M. Despite that number, Kraft said Penn State will look to acquire the best coach available when hiring the Nittany Lions' next program leader.

"We want someone who will attract elite talent, retain players in the NIL era and make Penn State a destination," he said. "Our next coach needs to be able to maximize elite-level resources, attack the transfer portal and develop at the highest level."

Later, Kraft added, "Football is our backbone. We have invested at the highest level. With that comes high expectations. I believe a new leader can help us win a national championship -- and now is the right time for this change."

Just sayin': Maybe Kraft could move their wrestling coach (who really knows something about winning National Championships) over to the football team...... :lol:

My sources say Andy Reed will be announced Tuesday.

Andy Reed; wasn't he Roy Rogers' sidekick, or was that his horse?
Does your sources say he will be arriving in Happy Valley driving Nellybelle?

Can Penn State win bigger without James Franklin? Coaching search report card, candidates

Overall: A

This is one of the best jobs in college football, in the top 10 or top 15, and it’s the rare opportunity to take over one of these programs coming off recent big-time success. We don’t know how the rest of the season will turn out, especially with Allar’s injury, but Penn State was a drive away from playing for the national championship last season and had high preseason expectations this year before everything unraveled after Oregon. Its resources and history will make this a sought-after job. The expectations will be sky-high, but any coach would welcome that.

Just sayin': If you need a good laugh, this article is a joke......:lol:
