Running base 4-3 on the goal line versus 7 OL and a FB is a loss before they even snap it though
I think Franklin is done at the end of this season. But man oh man, this team is terrible. Why would any P5 Team invest in Franklin going forward?
not sure I can be of much help.
effort has been pretty good by the players. the execution has been pretty poor.
as for the coaches, with the pandemic, I haven't gotten much inside info this year, so I'm as baffled as most fans. I think the combo of multiple new coaches and a lack of spring ball really hurt. That said, they've had time to overcome those issues as the season progressed, and the results are shocking. There are reports that the staff feels the fans don't fully understand how much the combination of Journey and Caine being out, Micah opting out, and PF dealing with injuries has impacted the team. I think they have a bit of a point, but you have to move past those issues, and figure out a way to make things work with those that are able to play. The short passing game being utilized in today's game is a nice adjustment to the game plan. Alas, the play calling on 3rd and short and on 4th down is dumbfounding.
I do think CJF has earned the right to get a mulligan. That said, it's painful to watch.
Can the players ever respect their coach in the future after not winning a single game in one season?
DO NOY BLAME THIS SEASON ON COVID. The play calling decisions being made have nothing to do with the virus.
What is minimum wage x 0 because he hasn’t worked a single hour this season from the product we see on the field.
I noticed in OSU game we allowed the DE to go unblocked. The OT’s blocked down on the DT. It allowed the DE to head straight to the point of handoff. And more than once the DE arrived the same time the QB met RB. I’m blown away at the stupidity I’m watching on both sides of the ball.
I’ve been a staunch Franklin supporter. We are so fundamentally sound it’s scary. I don’t see how Franklin can or will turn this around next year. Reboot time. Especially if the knife incident proves true.
and Levis turns it over on the 1st play. He held the ball way too long. Way to destroy good field position.
Worst team since the late 80's. Own it players. Where's your "Thank You" card. Dumbasses,
My neighbors house is for sale....I’ll throw in free lawn mowing 😁
I don’t see the Athletic Administration moving on from Franklin after this season, even after we go 0 - 9.
They recently signed him to a big contract and no other school is going to hire him. PSU can’t afford to buy him out, so we’re stuck with him.
So, get used to what we are seeing because this is now and the future of PSU football under James Franklin. The coaching staff is dysfunctional and will continue to be unstable from season to season. As a result, player development will continue to be bad. The recruiting will drop off significantly, although it is obvious that it doesn’t matter that much when you can’t even coach fundamentals. You could give this staff the best roster in the country and they would struggle to win a game.

I get all the extenuating circumstances with lost starters, new coaches, with covid exacerbating those issues. But it's hard to see any improvement 5 games in to the season.
