Penn State fires Franklin

[macmoolah]

Until Thamel or McMurphy tweet about Rhule and PSU, im ignoring it. The rest is all conjecture based upon shit we all already know about him and that job.

 

[V-Doub]

Did not think they would do this midseason. But hey, if you know you’re gonna do it in the end anyway and the team keeps losing. Fuck it, rip off the bandaid and start the moving forward process.

Just thought they’d have a little more loyalty to Franklin considering he’s been there a long time and won a lot of games for them. Welcome to 2025 I guess…

If you want to feel better fire up twitter and search “matt Rhule”

Not going anywhere

Can’t have donors paying out a boat load of money to players and lose 3 games in a row with two of them being to scrubs.

Rhule is about to get paid, that’s for sure.

Benning was saying Rhule had a chance to negotiate his contract extension last year and chose to hold off until after this year. Dude bet on himself and it’s gonna pay off in a big way.

UCLA and Northwestern may not end up being the 2 worst teams in the B1G. But 2 weeks ago, before they played PSU, they were a consensus bottom 2.

I think Wisconsin has now taken that prestigious honor.

So Rhule leaves and then we get Cignetti?

Kiffin will be our next coach if we have an opening following the 2025 season.

Fat Sam’s article is complete trash

Not to be a Debbie downer, but the season is far from over. We started 5-1 last year as well. This season seems different, but…

And that would be my 1st choice honestly. I was hoping we were selling out for him before Rhule was announced.

 

[Mavsker]

Gonna analyze this rationally
1) Rhule would take the job. Don't give me any bullshit about how much his wife loves Lincoln. Is his wife making $8 million a year? He brought up how much he loved Penn State in his introductory press conference here. If he's offered the job, he is gone.
2) He's not #1 on Penn State's wish list. But he could be in the #3-#5 range. If they strike out on guys like Cignetti/Kiffin/Drinkwitz, he could get a call.
3) I don't think their fans would love the hire. They want to pull someone who could get them contending for national titles immediately. I don't think that's Matt Rhule. But I don't think they would revolt. He's a respected coach, and they could sell their fans the old Mike Riley "let's see what he can do with our resources" line.

Rhule’s agent is for sure gonna make sure there are plenty of articles about him being a target.

I'm sure PSU kicks the tires, but most likely this ends with Rhule getting a pay bump/extension here out of this unless PSU misses on multiple guys.

 

[Lemon Barz]

Don’t panic. Matthew is here to stay!! Penn State will want to hire a coach that can beat ranked teams

I’ve thought the same. Plus a couple of teams that looked like sure wins are doing better than expected

 

[cwessel76]

Rhule is not going to Penn St.

He’s a program builder. Those p*do fucks need a program elevator.

[Kazman5k]

Franklin may have helped Nebraska by getting fired a year early. Next year was always going to be our big year to shoot for the playoffs with year 3 Dylan. USC might be his only chance to get a ranked win this year.

 

[Kaladin]

You seem very certain

Plus, Rhule sees the downside of taking over at your Alma mater, one that just fired their HC after being in the playoffs the previous year.

The expectations given to you even before stepping on campus would be outrageous.
