That'd be unbelievable if it happened, poaching another team in the conferences coach
That's what Florida might do with Kiffin...

don't pretend the Fiesta bowl vs Nebraska the previous season wasn't a factor

they were favorites to win the MNC

That would be 1997, not 2001.

Just hours after five-star running back Kemon Spell reopened his recruitment, Nebraska made its move. The top-ranked 2027 RB out of Pennsylvania, once committed to Penn State, is now squarely on Matt Rhule’s radar.

don't worry, he's not going to Nebraska or Penn State.

I'm curious what the PSU fans think about the firing of Franklin. 

I'm on the fence. This could end up being a situation like Georgia firing Mark Richt where you go from pretty good to winning multiple NCs and everyone looks back and thinks it was a great decision. Alternatively, we can all name plenty of situations where a pretty good coach was replaced by someone who did worse.

Joel Klatt threw out Hartline as a possible replacement for Franklin.

Nebraska and Wisconsin immediately spring to mind.  As you mentioned,  there are plenty more we could name.

I still think Napier is doing pretty well considering their schedule.  Firing him won't help much (probably) and could get them into a coaching merry go round (which would be OK with me).

Often the real issues are not related to the coaches.

Now, in the case of PSU it's tough not to think that is an exception.

Whatever happens, you can be sure that Mike Elko will get a big raise out of all this coaching carousel.  He played CFB in Pennsylvania (UPenn, not Penn St).  Despite my best efforts to downplay it, he's got A&M in position to get 10 wins, which is a very difficult thing to do here for reasons unknown.  Actually, the reasons are known, but I just don't want to admit them.

This is exactly where I am. On the fence as well. He couldn’t win the big game, but he’s also had a very good program.
