Franklin feasted on a bad sec east and loaded his OOC schedule with cupcakes.... and while Mason is clueless, that roster JF left is void of talent at many spots.

Dudes a fraud IMO.

I thought about the same thing. Between learning new styles and I cam only assume that Hackenburg just doesn't seem like he wants to be there

Its like he's stealing their innocence-- a Penn State tradition if there ever was one.

You mean go to crappy bowl games?... Bobby Johnson did that.

I stated above what made franklin look better than he actually is... and not to mention the way he handled the rape case.

Your friends might be dumb. Lord knows our fan base has plenty of idiots, just like any other fan base, and just like some posters on the MSB. Not calling you out on this one, Walt, because you seem generally level-headed, but there are near 175k living PSU alumni, not all are crazed morons.

as an any decent coach should.

As for the West, I seem to remember them beating Auburn in 2012.

He did that, what, once? Franklin went to a few. Beat NC State's arse in one too.

I like Franklin, his demeanor on the sidelines...I can see him being the face of this program for a longtime.

Give him a chance...PSU is dealing with a lot of adversity.

I really think he is a great fit...seems enthusiastic, personality and holds players accountable going back to the "great experiment."

I fricking HATE James Franklin. He is fricking slime. He's a good coach, and I am ok with him beating us cause we deserved it, but I am not ok with him as a human being.

Poor kid is running for his life behind that young offensive line. He's so damned gun shy, he doesn't know whether to shite or go blind.

I watched him in that UK game...and thought...this guy is going #1.

I hope he hasn't been ruined.

He had all the talent in the world.

Allen Robinson. The guy was a huge crutch for Hack, plus his OL is trash. It's why I laugh at all these LSU fans who want a statue QB, once that OL has a bad stretch, you can forget any kind of decent passing game or offensive output.

Your old defensive coordinator was equally as shitty from a neutral perspective.

I don't give a frick about granthem. I disliked him when the rest of the fandom was sucking his dick.

It's not Franklin's fault. See Hackenberg for their offensive struggles.
