Has to be brutal for Penn State fans. That’s the collateral damage of firing your coach midseason. They better be raising major NIL loot to setup the next coach. I understand Franklin was low probability to get to the top but it’s going to cost them way more than the buyout of Franklin to get back to where they were already at.

Ive been saying that since Franklin was fired. Firing him mid season is going to an incredible amount of damage to the program, with recruits, current players, incoming coaches, AD and program as a whole. I tried telling this to a co worker who’s a Ped St fan. He said that they had to do something to make another step. I made the point that what if they were already at their ceiling. His counterpoint was JoePa, and then mine was that if you’re using an NC from 40yrs ago as your level of success, than your program is not an NC relevant program. They’re a 9-10win program which is where Franklin had them. Firing him just made the next HC’s job almost impossible because his seat is hot if he doesn’t win the B1G in year 2 and an NC by year 3. And if the coach has less than 9 wins(which I think he will since so much talent will be leaving and recruiting is a massive burden there) than you’re going to have some embarrassed and pissed off big money donors who will have caused this entire mess

They just had their Frank Solich moment.

Ask Nebraska how that goes.

11W Forums with a new name at CB to watch.....

Birm today on his talking stuff:
-OSU still wants a third corner. He sees OSU moving down the list past Bronaugh because he doesn't see him taking a discount in NIL to come to OSU.
-Truly Bell from California might be someone they target at CB.
-Tennessee trying to save Bey in their class by visiting him today. Might not matter. Mick Walker said Bey might be wearing OSU gear at his playoff game tonight. Both said it might be very hard for the Vols to win this one back.
Stay gold, Ponyboy.

Truly Bell is another late cycle Walt Special.
He's extremely long and barely noticed by recruiting services.
As the 2,032nd ranked recruit, I imagine he won't require much in the way of NIL
