You still don’t get it Roam. You getting me and Penn St mixed up. I would’ve fired James Franklin for losing the big games not Penn St they would have fired him years ago if it was about big games they fired him because he lost to UCLA and NW.
@roaminglion i disagree, if James Franklin’s only loss this year was to Ohio State he wouldn’t have got fired and I believe we win all the other games if Poindexter was the DC!
What are you talking about ?? It is well known that the reason JF was fired is because he is 0-16 in big games since 2017. In a season where the message was “all in” the losses to NW and UCLA sped up the timeline for him to be fired and did factor in but were not the main reason JF was let go.
Rumors are heating up that Drinkwitz will be hired by the end of November.
@psujoe if they wanted James Franklin fired for losing big games they would’ve fired him after the ND loss or the Oregon loss this year. James Franklin got fired because he lost to UCLA and NW and I have proof homer…they fired him after the NW loss believe what you see because that’s exactly what happened. You’re just guessing like Roam with the fake rumors you hear on podcasts.
Franklin asking for another extension may have contributed to his demise.
There’s a few on here including me that wanted him fired for losing every big game we play but as long as he’s winning 10 or 11 games a year making the playoffs he was t going anywhere. If we had 2 losses right now against Ohio St and Oregon James Franklin would still be HC that’s the facts regardless of what we want.
@rip I think you are right. And from what others have said, Franklin and his agent did not like the answer from Kraft, and they tried to go around Kraft. If all that is true, it would indicate that Franklin is selfish and self-centered. I believe that a coach with those character traits would have difficulty building a cohesive team.
