Penn State Fires James Franklin

It’s the end of an era for Penn State. Midway through his 12th season as head coach of Penn State football, James Franklin was fired, the university

I'm a little surprised considering how long James Franklin has been there

4-21 vs Top 10 teams
1-18 vs Big 10 AP top 10 teams
2 losses in a row favored by 20 points

Too little too late though one bonus is they finish out the season without him and his bad QB.

Strange collapse, and it happened quick

@Elmgrovegnome is a big Penn State backer, interested in his take. IMO, Matt Campbell is the hire here. Winning at Iowa State is rough and Campbell has done it, year in and year out, plus, he will represent the University in the manner that Franklin represented them, with class and honor.

Some will want more of a splash hire, but some splash hires create waves, Campbell played at Pittsburgh, understands the landscape and IMO, would be a home run hire for the Nittany Lions.

Watch out Nebraska, Matt Rhule not ruling out a move to Happy Valley

I feel like Elm hasn’t been around the past week or two. I’m sure he’s bummed about PSU — but I think he was well aware that you can’t trust Franklin & Allar. He might even be happy Franklin is gone now.
