I know several PSU fans that would be perfectly ok if this weren’t an April Fools JokeJames Franklin To Resign If Penn State Football Misses Next College Football Playoff
“I’ve been at Penn State for 10 years,” Franklin told Onward State. “It’s time for me to show my worth. There are people out there who say I’m a fraud, and until I win some big games, they might be right. There are going to be 12 teams in the playoff next year, and that’s prime opportunity for this program to make its mark.”
“I just can’t have that as Penn State’s head coach,” Franklin continued. “If I don’t make the playoff next year, I’m resigning.”
It has been weird because they always finish around 10-13. It’s never pretty . I’m not really sure what they’re good at or what their identity is. You pretty much know what you’re getting w/ Ohio State and Michigan each year recently, but the PSU offense is usually ugly and the defense has talent, but they always get exposed in some capacity when they play an offense in the B1G w/ a pulse. Which is why they probably win 9-10 games each year. Except beating Brian Harsin’s Auburn teams, and they acted like they won the damn Super Bowl when they barely won in Happy Valley. Auburn sucked. Big Game James is not exactly winning any big games. W/ Oregon, USC and Washington now in the league it’s going to get that much more difficult.He’s had a very weird tenure there. 5 double-digit win seasons, but it’s like he’s always one step away from almost being fired.
Yep. He's had enough nice wins in other games to hang around and even secure raises and extensions, but he almost always loses to the teams they really care about.That's what happens when you play only 2 good teams each year and you consistently lose both of them.

I am glad we saved a few million.
Honestly though, to do what he did at Vandy is saying something. I know they moved their schedule around but still, Vandy!More than that. Seem to remember he wanted some absurd contract to come here.
We got Heupel pretty cheap there for a few years. We're still paying Heupel less now than we would have been paying Franklin from the start though. Doubt the results would be any better.
Franklin has to be the only coach on the planet who has made his name at...........Vandy.
They significantly changed their admissions requirements for Franklin in addition to catching Tennessee & Florida at all time lows. Even Georgia sucked a year or two during his tenure. Since 1992 when divisions were introduced, how many times has it happened that all 3 of those schools were bad? That WAS the only time.Honestly though, to do what he did at Vandy is saying something. I know they moved their schedule around but still, Vandy!

Chapel Hill and Charlotte have about the same enrollment. That UNCC has only had a football team for about 10 years and could only build a 15,000 seat stadium is baffling to me.home and away with Charlotte every 6 years?
