Franklin Fired at PSU

[252cane]

I’m surprised. Franklin took them to the playoffs last year too....the What have you done for me Lately crowd is in charge.

Yea but they are worse after being projected to be a contender

IU is a better job than PSU right now. Cignetti gets everything he wants plus major boosters to help fund NIL.

Yep he basically has Saban-like control of that program

Who are the deep pocketed Indiana boosters?!

His turn around at Vanderbilt was insane

For sure it was. But turning Vandy from a bottom feeder into a solid SEC program is not the same feat as elevating Penn State to the same level as Michigan and Ohio State.

Those two programs winning the last two National Championships amped up the pressure even more on Franklin this season

Good they deserve Rhule am I right @OldhamA ???

They aren’t ******* around. Don’t ever question the money that program has. They will wipe their butts with the buyout money and say, “next!”

They can go after Belichick when UNC shows him the door next week.

 

[TRick72]

Their problem was their "1st round QB" is total garbage

I agree as I’m no fan of Allar just saying what their insiders were alluding too before the loss this weekend

I just hope he doesn’t go to UF or FSU. He will have them loaded with talent and winning 10+ games fast.

Stop it.

Top tier(s) of the BiG will only get deeper with additions of USC, Oregon, Washington, CANES and Notre Dame

 

[PIPO]

Curious who they go after. Maybe that Ohio st DC

Schumann at UGA, just for extra giggles to Semenholes fans tears.

I've read online that this was a mutual decision and Franklin is going to try to repair his reputation. I could see a number of P4 programs scramble to hire Franklin.

Cig is making 8 mil a year now, so they’re not broke. I’m sure they’re looking at getting him in the 10 mil range very soon because he’s a hot commodity.

Who are the deep pocketed Indiana boosters?!

Mark Cuban is one of them. They have couple, Indians is not poor

IU will never be a better job than PSU. Dont let the short term success cloud your judgement.

Interesting, what has Rhule done that Franklin can't do? You fire Franklin to go after a guy who has shown he can take your program to the next step, Rhule is essentially a lateral hire in my mind.

 

[TooWise]

@DMoney What recruits can we poach? They always have beastly LB/DE

Elijah Littlejohn who’s committed goes to the school I teach at & his class is right across the hall, best believe I’m gonna try to get him here!

 

[JHallCanes]

Who are the deep pocketed Indiana boosters?!

Mark Cuban

IIRC they have some of the most expensive assistants as well. They’ve always had money but it was a basketball thing

Dammit, mane! We have to start a No D' rumor on X just to make sure that Penn State does due diligence on Alfredo.
