Totally agree. But I've never liked Franklin ever since Petersen described how the Penn State coaches acted toward the UW coaches leading up to the Fiesta Bowl.
The thing I found most bizarre was a section of the fan base (the one I targeted in the first tweet) was jumping all over the media members which dared to ask the questions. “They said they weren’t going to answer questions so all you’re doing is asking gotcha questions to generate clicks! Worst media ever!” In addition to the coach just walking off when asked a basic question about a serious event. Be the leader and own it even if you can’t say anything.
I see the basic questioning as obligatory and no where near our Victory and Ruins hit piece. PSU media is not out to get PSU the way the Times was for UW football.
At the same time, despite the fact that PSU did everything right in removing them from the team, acting like a bitch about it isn’t cool and insisting that questioning it is wrong is basically Doogman behavior.
@DJ I apparently missed what Pete said about that stuff around the Fiesta. Am very curious.
given Penn State’s recent history with matters pertaining to sexual assault, everybody in Happy Valley ought to tread very lightly and take it easy on this one. Maybe consult the PR experts. They are about 50 years away from living that down and should be thankful “tear it down” didn’t get more traction. For a bit there it appeared that PSU football was gone with no warning. People forget.
In the current climate PSU may have been permanently defunded with huge rallies demonizing the patriarchal environment that led to years of tragedy. Or Sandusky may have been deemed minor attracted and none of it would have been his fault. Hard to say, we live in strange tims.
His accomplishments are basically winning 1 B1G because of that one tOSU win off a blocked FG (in which they lost the Rose Bowl to Sam Darnold and also lost to Pitt in the same year), beating UW in the Fiesta and Utah in the Rose as the 3rd place B1G team.
He fits perfectly in at never being good enough but never bad enough to get fired.

Thanks Taft!
I liked this one too
I enjoy the Franklin bashing but I actually don't see why its his problem that a couple former players are charged with rape. Quite common really
But yes, he could have diffused it instead of blowing it up to a national story.

There was a dinner for both coaching staffs and the Penn State coaches were acting boorish and in your face to the UW staff, according to Pete.

In an earlier era, the program probably would have been SMU'd
Pederast St can DIAFF, quite honestly.
Penn State gonna give our DAWGS the Sandusky
that’s Rough.

I know TITTT
Franklin tried to apologize for being a bitch which generated content all week
It's seems like Tybo Rogers got buried
Plus the original Arizona QB last year, deLaura or whatever, who Fisch chose to start.
Wait a minute, there’s an idea…
Penn State losing to Ohio State. A tradition unlike any other.
Also Penn State running over lesser opponents like Washington.
9 or 10 win Franklin wins the little ones
At what point do they make a change, he's been there 11 years and besides losing against to tOSU, he's 4-5 in bowl games there.
His accomplishments are basically winning 1 B1G because of that one tOSU win off a blocked FG (in which they lost the Rose Bowl to Sam Darnold and also lost to Pitt in the same year), beating UW in the Fiesta and Utah in the Rose as the 3rd place B1G team.
