Jesus that’s huge. I’m actually surprised. One play from the NCG last year.

ETA: I’ll call it now. PSU is the next Nebraska. I doubt the next guy gets over the hump or has JF’s consistency.

They might win just one game the rest of the way.

Guarantee there will be a handful of posters on here who cite his overall winning % (by beating up bad teams) to claim the firing is unwarranted

Thamel is as locked in on college ball as anyone.

Wonder how he plays this. They were pretty down and out and he got them back. Kinda shitty to only get 6 games of rope after their best finish in 30 years.

Must have a very wealthy, very unhappy booster.

Did not expect this at all considering his buyout was reportedly over $50M. Figured that between the buyout and having made the CFP semifinals last year, that he had at least another year before his seat started to really simmer

Please 8lb baby jesus...please let James Franklin hate PSU now and he wants revenge and he wants to coach at VT and stop their raiding of Va recruits...

Please let me dream for 5 minutes
