Franklin’s only 52,
He’s making $10 million a year
90–39 at PSU
He was born in Langhorne Pennsylvania
I guess he could keel over, but Unless Franklin gets a better job, MR isn’t going back there Anytime soon
Way too early hot seat speculation

Since he's been at PSU he's 4-4 in bowl games (no bowl in the covid year) and 2-1 at Vandy. That ain't the stuff of legends.
Agreed not the stuff of legends. Also nowhere in the same solar system of a coach with a warm seat. Not remotely. Bowls are stupid, you don't fire a coach based on bowl record.
I don’t think he’s ever beaten ohiost and certainly has been sodomized by Michigan recently
His record gives off whiffs of pelini - can’t get over the hump, can’t win the big one
With the playoffs expanding, his excuse list just got 1 line shorter
Fact is Rhule already has a better job. If he wants to leave here to go coach in the SEC, so be it, but he’s a pretty proud B1G guy.
And under Franklin PSU has won one division title and one conference title, both in 2016. As noted above, he gets $10 mil yearly. PSU fans and program leaders are the ones who should be asking if that record in 10 years is worth it. Maybe it is to them, or not.
They have 1 (fraudulent) national title in their history
Has a nittany ever won a Heisman?
pennst is probably not even the best program in the state. Pitt has more history
Pitt and Penn St have one Heisman each.
Pitt claims 9 national championships
Penn St claims 2 national championships
On the topic of Raiola, all early signs point toward Dylan being a top QB draft prospect in the 2027 draft. I'm interested in how well the younger brother is doing this season for his HS team. Hopefully he develops and we can keep the outstanding QB play going for the Huskers. As for Rhule, he's at a different point in his life and career now. Sure he loves coaching so it's logical that he could go another 20 years. But this is a different situation than Temple or Baylor and this job comes after getting fired in Carolina. I think he stays at NU for the long term.
Iowas highwater mark is eight wins. They should really learn to stay in their lane. The man needs statues erected, not their contempt.
They would have to push Franklin out. Where else is he going to go? I don’t see the NFL clamoring for him.
They have a great recruiting base and resources. he’s doing pretty well, but not quite good enough. Puts the university in a real bind. Plus, I don’t think they dislike him on any level the way many of us disliked Bo Pelini
Imo, the only way Rhule leaves is if he gets burn out. The guy's everywhere doing everything
That’s my feeling too. He’s spent a lot of years and a lot of energy to turn around some programs and fizzle out in the NFL. My hope is that he has found a destination where he can settle in and go on a real winning streak. If you’re gonna work that hard to build something up, you may as well take some time and enjoy the fruit. This state will set up him and his family for life in more ways than just money. Id like to see him go on a 10 year run.
What do you suppose that’s like? Is it similar to being a professional where you don’t have to lay out your clothes or do laundry, pay bills or cook any meals? I imagine you’re spending time looking at your calendar and strategically planning where to go and how to represent the brand in those spaces. Quite a bit of the minor details are taken care of. I’ve got no beef with that. When you’ve got value like he does, a lot of the mundane can be handled for you.
Franklin has a .695 winning % and .636 conference winning %(conf also .695 after his 2nd season). If he continues that he will be the head coach at Penn State.
Tom Osborne had a 12-13 record in bowl games. That can be the stuff of legends depending on where it goes from here.(not a prediction)
I agree with you but also agree that there's probably a steady undercurrent of grumbling that he doesn't get them over the top. And I'm not talking a Natty mind you, but consistently winning the big games. So, with the numbers you posted AND the general underwhelming feeling, what you've got to look out for is that ONE year that he stumbles a bit. Go 7-5 or 6-6 just once and the vultures will pounce. They might not fire him but that seat would get hot fast.
Excellent point. And Osborne probably felt his seat was getting warm when he was listening to sCUm trying to hire him away. Like I said, Franklin is safe but his seat could be getting warm.
Should be a simple question to answer. Not much to it. Because idk the answer. So I asked.
If things haven't changed in 38 years, I would suggest:
1) Play golf inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
2) Go see a comedy show in Broad Ripple; maybe run into the gang from the Bob & Tom Show.
3) Drive to Carmel (pronounced car-mull) and make fun of them for living there. (Pretentious b*stards)
