Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

So they're basically trading in Franklin for Franklin but white?

Franklin but sometimes beats top teams as opposed to franklin but never beats top teams.

True.
But Franklin was good at winning games he should win (until this year).
Campbell loses a doozy about once a year - a MAC game or equivalent.
For instance - who was Colorado’s only Big12 win this year?

Man did Penn State fall backwards into this one!

Campbell has had bigger jobs offered to him and turned them down.

I think he turns this Chernobyl disaster down.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has agreed to an eight-year deal to become the next head coach at Penn State, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. The deal will go before the compensation committee of the school's board of trustees for final approval on Monday.

Just sayin': Franklin's reported salary was $8.5M a year; I'll guess that Penn State is offering Campbell something similar (or maybe even more). Those "bigger job offers" you refer to may not have been for as much guaranteed money that Ped State is throwing at him.....

Getting rid of Franklin the way they did and when they did was poorly thought out.

It was like ‘fire the guy and they will come, all hail Joesus’

Campbell is basically a side step from Franklin at best. He will be able to get slightly better players at Penn state than Iowa state. I doubt by the end of his career his record is better than Franklin’s.
