Who's down worse rn, Penn State or Michigan?

[u/thenowherepark → u/RimRunningRagged]

Penn State easily. Michigan had to blow their program up. Penn State voluntarily blew their program up.

You don’t understand 10-2 isn’t good enough there! Now they’ll be 8-4 every year 😆

And we wouldve built him a statue to keep doing it in Ames

This narrative made more sense before they lost as 28 point favorites in back to back weeks to be 3-3 with 0 P4 wins in an “all in” year lol….

2 things can be true: 

1. Pat Kraft bungled the coaching search and led to this roster mess.  

2. Franklin coached himself out of his job (4-24 elephant in the room too)

They were a few plays away from making the national championship game. I get the follow up year was bad but I would have thought one more year be allowed to right the ship. Plus in this landscape 10-2 is good enough now to make the playoff. I think he could have kept it rolling to have a run.

Easy to say from the outside perspective though when expectations are high. Not saying you are wrong. Was just surprised to see from afar

Honestly if you lookup “Franklin” in this sub and scroll back to older posts you’ll see how many highly upvoted posts are just people clowning his big game record. 

Imagine that’s all the discourse about your team for 8 years. Franklin clearly wasn’t having fun, the fans weren’t having fun, the players clearly stopped trying after UCLA…. 

there was nowhere else to go and it’s sad cause if they just held on and beat Oregon then he’s still our coach :/

[u/trixy6196 → u/Mattp55]

Tough situation no doubt. At least you won’t have to worry about winning big games now lol

[u/Advanced_Box_8969 → u/trixy6196]

Not this year

Be really fuckin wild (and cool imo as a redemption arc/f you) to finish what Beamer started and win won at tech. But I also know they'll be happy as perennial 9 win team also. Or they should be after the last decade
