James Franklin To Penn State

[Deleted]

Great hire by Penn State. They won't miss a beat and I doubt Hack leaves now.

Very nice for PSU! The last two coaching hires they have had, HOME RUNS! BoB and now James Franklin. Great job, because PSU was in trouble from becoming dead in CFB. These two combine will/have gotten them back to PSU FB.

The East in the Big 10 is going to be loaded with PSU, MSU, UM, and tOSU. Very tough division.

Franklin & his 3 coordinators grew up in PA, NJ & MD. They will recruit well.

I remember when the rumors came out and it was ACC programs/coaches, not named, but the quote was "This is not good if Franklin goes to PSU. He will own the recruiting scene around there"


Also one person said it best(forget where I read or heard it): "Some people are talking about how PSU is not that much of a upgrade over Vandy. That right there tells you how great of a coach James Franklin is. Look at what he has done to the Vandy program".

Yeah, but it's still the Big Ten. The best out of that group would only finish above KY and Vandy (maybe). : )

Crazy Franklin stat at Vandy

Before Franklin: 121 season of Vandy FB. 2 seasons of 9+ wins & 2 Bowl wins. Yes, 121 years of that.
Franklin in 3 years: 2 9+ win seasons and 2 bowl wins.

It took him 3 years to match the 121 previous years of Vandy football. Wow.

I had felt only Michigan State had a shot at George Brown in the North. James Franklin changed that. Brown will visit Penn State soon #PSU
