Surprised that cunt lasted this long at Pedo State.
Penn State fires head coach James Franklin
First coach in history to lose back to back games as 20+ pt favorite.
Had to be done.
UW would have given more tim. #lethimcook

Woodward would have worried about "orphaning" the team
That Oregon loss really did a number on Franklin.
I'm quooking, but Penn State played an outstanding game defensively against Oregon. Better than last year. Oregon would have been shut out had we played like yesterday at PSU.
The Penn St team that showed up at UCLA and again yesterday was completely broken. That's on Franklin. That's culture.
Question for Lanning is to show us the exact opposite response from his team heading down the stretch. If we resemble yesterday's team, we'll lose at Iowa and UW, and home to USC. Possibly at Rutgers, too.

This is (part of) what’s wrong with college sports.
Who the fuck executes an agreement like this for a glorified PE teacher. It’s not like there isn’t a massive supply of available PE teachers coming up through the ranks.
Stupid.

Meanwhile I just clipped a digital coupon for pasta sauce
so is this a smart idea? Would it have been an opportunity to get a new offensive and defensive coordinator at the top of the pay scale instead? Clearly he couldn’t win big games, so I get it
clearly they were grossly over rated this year and last, clearly he isn’t a great coach but other guys that also were not just hired the right assistants to make up the difference

They just payed Jim Knowles 3 million to leave TOSU. Their OC they bought from Kansas. It’s not the coordinators it’s always the head coach.
Seriously - and these fucking ADs will bitch and moan about lack of booster support when they fire these guys.
There is no need for a buyout at these salary levels - a coach making $12 million per year is not leaving for anything other than a $13 million per year job. And there’s not that many of those.
Defies economics.

In a way you can say that them paying Knowles that much was a red flag, much like Emmert flying to Los Angeles in an effort to hire the UCLA DC to help out Tyrone.
I understand [kind of] the logic behind needing to give a large buyout to a coach to get them in the door in some cases but in most cases like Ryan Day and Kalen DeBoer as an example, they Wanted the Job and would not ever get as good an opportunity in another location so a jumbo buyout seems totally unnecessary… 1/2 the amount would have been plenty is my guess.

Buyouts are really just guaranteed contracts. I'm sure everyone here knows that. The agents are the real problem. Schools don't know how to deal with them.
I don’t remember this. Who was the UCLA DC they were going after?
