Apparently Franklin did a nice troll on PSU today at the Letter of Intent event with a box of Crumbl cookie on a table. Kind of funny. Whether it was Franklin, or someone else that put them out, all of the trolling is funny and warranted. Along with the person who had crumbl delivered to the psu athletic admin building Monday night. Leaving yourself with zero options short of trying to lure away a guy that seemed destined to spend his whole career at BYU, only to get outbid by the Mormon church and a cookie tycoon deserves to be mocked.
December 3Dec 3 Love watching Pedo State self destruct. Makes the fuckery of cfb playoff committee bearable.

With the right wordsmithing, it could be *spun into a "high profile, splash hire". 3 hours ago, 'stache said: They’ll hire someone from the NFL and say it was the plan all along and why it took so long. 36 minutes ago, heso said: From what I’ve heard, which is probably bullshit, is that Stein interviewed but Kraft didn’t feel he was ready for the job. This would have been while he thought he had Sitake on the hook. Declined to offer Stein & kept Chesney waiting and lost him while trying to reel in Sitake. Sitake was the second coach offered after the first offer was turned down after his school extended him. Some think it was Elko, some Rhule. Penn State's search firm?

December 3Dec 3 Popular Post 1 hour ago, TOR said: 58 is awful young for retirement, does Klieman have health problems? If we are talking an actual sane person it’s not, and by most accounts Chris Klieman is. People scrimp and hustle with the aim to enjoy good years in retirement and do so with much less in the bank. “I am 58 years old and made between 3-5 million each year over the past six. Realistically, I am not going to win a national championship. I can leave now with the goodwill of thousands of people. I will never run out of money, my kids and grandkids might never run out of money if I am smart. I’m healthy and I’m going to go enjoy myself and all this money. And never think about what 19 year old defensive backs are up to at all hours of the day and never again say “this loss was on me” at a press conference after my 20 year old QB threw into double coverage instead of the check down I drilled with him 200 times.” I will 100 percent die on a hill that this thought process is the sanest of anyone involved in CFB this year. And Klein is a great hire for them and I’ll be sad to see him leave. He is a bit of seasoning away from being a real genius. Edited December 3Dec 3 by 956 Worldwide

K-State always wanted Klein to return as next head coach -- his hire was in the works behind closed doors for weeks... K-State kept it quiet till National Signing Day. K-State will still get what they get on NSD, and Klein likely didn't want to hurt A&M on the way out. I'm guessing Klein will still be aggy OC during playoffs...
December 3Dec 3 Kraft put himself in an impossible spot. Who would you be confident in being better than Franklin? Smart, Day, Dabo, Freeman, Lanning, DeBoer, Sark, and at this point you probably have to put Cignetti on that list. None of those guys were leaving their current job for Penn state. Then the next tier of guys that could maybe do it, Elko, Drinkwitz, Campbell, Lashlee, Sitake, etc. All of those guys are trying to get to the level that Franklin just got fired for getting to. Why would you leave your current job for Penn state when you know that anything short of beating Ohio state and winning a national championship is grounds for firing? Especially when your current school offers you an extension and increased NIL spend. Then there’s the crop of G5 coaches and up and coming OCs that Kraft i guess thought were beneath what he could hire. There was almost no chance whoever he hired would look like an upgrade on the front end because none of those guys were available. And then he waited around for so long trying to get someone that looked like an upgrade that he missed his chance on all of the up and comers that were a dice roll to be an upgrade. So now he’s left with calling Brian Daboll because someone took a picture of him leaving his house in a Penn state hoodie after he got fired.

December 3Dec 3 Honestly, I think the obvious guy for Penn State to go after is Brian Hartline at this point. They can just point to him wanting to coach his team through the playoffs and spin it that way.

December 3Dec 3 I think Major Applewhite would be a great hire for Penn State. Not a lot of chubby Latinas running around Happy Valley, so there’s that.
December 3Dec 3 Whoever ends up at Pedo U is destined for failure. The botched search has completely kneecapped the new corch. No-win situation.
December 3Dec 3 At first I thought they’d end up with a lesser-mentioned guy like Matt Campbell, but at this point it’s not a desirable job at all. Not exactly appealing to go somewhere that has one ‘26 recruit signed on NSD

December 3Dec 3 This didn’t play out as publicly as Tennessee’s spectacular week after firing Butch Jones in 2017, but it may be an even more impressive train wreck

It’s not as deadly as it would have been before the transfer portal. As long as they have a coach in place by the portal window, there is enough talent on the roster that with enough NIL money they could be ok next year. They have an unbelievably soft schedule next year. USC, Mich, Wash are the only teams they play that are in the top half of the big ten this year. Depending on how those 3 teams are next year, they could feasibly play the entire season without facing a ranked team. OOC is Marshall, Temple, Buffalo. No matter who they hire they can buy their way through that schedule.
