Yep. And State fans will tell you about how bad of a coach Franklin is, and will constantly talk shit about Virginia tech now. This is poetic.

He had two losses worst than this one just last season.

And he got yall to the cfp semifinals 2 years ago. It was idiotic to fire him

Where he blew a late lead.

There was always going to be a gamble that you’d be worse after firing him, but the constant where they weren’t going to be better was the reason to make the gamble.

This is Campbell’s first season at PSU, with a lot of holdovers from Iowa State. Franklin lost to your Wildcats as a 20+ point favorite in his 12th season with a loaded squad. Even with this loss, I’ll take that trade any day tbh.
