    James Franklin Now On The Hot Seat

    James Franklin said Pitt's defenders were clapping to throw off PSU's snap count and he doesn't seem to love it.

    Guy should have never left Vanderbilt. This will be his last major program to coach.

    This PSU coach whining and complaining in public about players smacking hands together

    Joe Pa didn't get as upset about dirty old man smacking his genitalia on little boys in the shower

    Where can you get steak and lobster for 5 bucks. That is all you wager. You are also way behind overall.

    A lot of articles talking about it. Bad conference record so far. Started this season losing to Temple and Pitt. It's all over Twitter how he makes excuses for everything.

    Funny how guys like him are always on the hot seat so quickly, I dont get it. He took over a devastated program and somehow managed to have two winning seasons with them.

    It was devastated when O'Brien got there. It was on its way back when Franklin got there.

    As much as I never liked the scheme PSU had, Franklin actually made it worse. Just a bad fit. He'll do better somewhere else, but he needs out of there IMO.

    How can you be on your way back in a year and with many players having already left? Also the jerking around with scholarships.

    Coach Franklin will have the lads ready next week. He covered the spread today. Boosters are happy.

    James Franklin is now in some very heady financial company.

    Friday morning, Penn State’s Board of Trustees Committee on Compensation, as expected, unanimously approved an amended contract for their head football coach. While no details were released — that’s expected to happen later today — it’s believed the amended deal will extend through the 2023 season. Franklin’s old contract ran through 2019.

    Additionally, Bruce Feldman of SI.com is reporting that the new six-year deal will average $5.8 million annually. What Franklin’s compensation for 2017 and beyond will, again, be divulged later on today.

    The average of $5.8 million a year would make him the fourth-highest-paid coach in college football, behind only Alabama’s Nick Saban and a pair of fellow Big Ten coaches — Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh.

    Set to enter his fourth season with the Nittany Lions, Franklin has an overall record of 25-15 at the school. After a pair of 7-6 seasons to begin his tenure, 2016 was a breakout one for the program as they went 11-3 and won the Big Ten championship for the first time since 2008.

    Expectations are extremely high coming off that breakout season as the Nittany Lions are ranked sixth in the preseason coaches’ poll.

    Penn State plays a very soft non-con schedule this season. Their entire season will probably be decided in Columbus on 10/28, but they do host Michigan on the 21st in what could be a look ahead game.

    Should be still on the SMU treatment plan, but top 10 team and talent instead. Franklin is scum too. Getting paid, good for him. Strike while the iron is hot, then fall off. Will always be Michigan and Ohio State's bitch. Just a little run like MSU had, and look at them now.

    Still clueless I see.

    I'll make it easy for you. Your opinions come from the freeh report, everything was given back because there were no facts in the freeh report. Freeh is to psu as cnn is to news. Nobody cares about facts though.

    It's like people think psu got everything back magically. Actually 99% have no idea it even happened or anything else but day 1 headlines.

    You're no different than the left about trump. Same fukkin thing.

    Do tell the facts. Sandusky wasn't a monster? Joe Pa is a saint? I know you will never be able to see through the PSU glasses. It's all good. Not your fault. Franklin is scum too, but his past isn't fact. OJ didn't murder, and Casey Anthony didn't kill her kid.
