What an astounding collapse from starting the season with national championship aspirations that seemed plausible achievable to firing the coach on a three-game losing streak including to probably the worst two teams in the league.

I’ve honestly never seen anything like it. 

Lloyd Carr’s last season started out disastrous but he won 9 of his last 10 games I think and beat Urban Meyer and the Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow in the bowl game and kind of saved a lost season. 

Frames Janklin just let it all fall apart and never recovered.

You would think they might as well let Franklin coach against Iowa and Ohio St.  But maybe they were afraid Franklin would save his job.

Do I get to get any takers that Penn State will NOT find a coach that exceeds Franklin's tenure at PSU (T10 finishes, etc. etc.)

Us fans are really good at pitchforks and having ADs firing people, not so good at improving matters.

regardless they had to make the change. the guy was there 12 freaking years. he is who he is- it was never going to get better- just downhill from here. he never wins big games- think he was 2-23 vs top 10 teams. And every year he played Michigan or Ohio State he'd get his teeth kicked in- think he only beat Michigan twice and Ohio State once and most times got blown off the field in those games.

they hit their ceiling with him last year. this year was their all-in year- they used NIL to get their SR 4-year starting QB, JR RB duo, and everyone back. They spent in the portal to get some WR's, they hired the big name DC and gave him the biggest salary of any DC in the game. this was their '23 Michigan/'24 Ohio State push all the chips to the middle of table go all-in year....and he fell on face in dramatic fashion. never quite seen an implosion like this from a top 5 ranked pre-season team.

It's getting crazy. You'd think the massive buyout would be a sound insurance policy against getting fired the day after a one point loss to Northwestern, when you made the playoffs the year before. Particularly since the expanded playoff was tailor made for them to get into the playoffs in a normal James Franklin season. 

You can't feel too bad for him though. May we all be so lucky as to be so bad at our jobs that they give us over $50 million just to go away.
