    Just wanna say how much I'm enjoying Penn State's coaching search.

    Their delusional fans whined and complained for years. They actually thought James Franklin underachieved and they could do much better.

    Now reality is biting them hard and I hope it keeps hurting. At the moment, there is no other entitled fan base in any sport I despise more.

    Pat Kraft fired James Franklin to start the Penn State search as early as possible…
    Spoke to Urban, NIL disagreements
    Elko was close, couldn’t close
    Spoke to Cignetti, Rhule, Freeman, Drinkwitz, and Lea. Struck out.
    Banked on an Iron Bowl loss to full court press DeBoer
    Lincoln’s agent pulled his name from consideration on Sunday
    Tried to take Sitake from Provo
    Lost Chesney along the way
    Now what?

    LOL

    Next you’ll tell me Herbstreit’s emotional support dog is also fake/for PR.

    Biggest pos in the sport.

    Klieman retiring is unexpected, but Klein is a no-brainer hire.

    In other news, Ben Roethlisberger thinks Tomlin should step down and go coach Penn State.

    Uh-oh on the KSTATE news. Wouldn't be surprised if TAMU sucks next year. For that reason + others. Just not the best timing on the talent cycle.

    This has been a great year to be a successful coordinator or G5 head coach. I like all the hires so far.

    ...and then there's Penn State

    Why do you despise them so much?

    Look at Franklin's record against top teams.

    Who? Penn State?

    Do you really need a list of reasons?

    Other than the raping of little children.

    They should've gotten the death penalty.

    My dad hated them and Paterno for reasons going back to the 60's or something, so I grew up with it ingrained in me.

    Pretty solid hire after reportedly striking out on a few candidates.

    Penn St may have dodged a bad hire by being out Crumbl Cookied for Sitake.
