Now, what does this mean for Iowa next Saturday? Ped State is now without a head coach or their starting QB.
James Franklin has been Fired
- Thread starter 2D
- Start date
48 million buyout that they will pay out equally for each year remaining on the contract. I believe it was 8 years.
Wow...
One can only hope they find a new coach that results in a continued downward spiral for PSU.

crap. PSU will get that new coach boost.
Wait. Didn't someone tell them that they can't hire a better coach??? You can't possibly improve after firing a coach.
Wow. I think this is surprising. He's built up no goodwill in 11 years?
I have to wonder if something else is going on.

He's a massive douchebag so I'm sure that doesn't help.
Yeah, either they're gonna go UCLA and play like their hair is on fire, or come in flat.

Now PSU will rally and play out of their minds
Doubtful.
You think they're going to find someone who goings to win 34 games over a 3 year period like Franklin just did? You're high if you do...
Well, that solves KF's problem of what to talk about during that chummy pre-game head coaches chat.
I think next Saturday might have just got harder.
ped state must have had some pissed off rich people to buy his contract out. The Hawks are going to have to be intense and ready for the game.
Definitely puts more pressure on Iowa not to **** it up.
psu might have copied the ucla playbook to resuscitate themselves. they have talented players, do they have the staff equivalent (of ucla) on the bench
I would rather beat them at full strength. Now they ,the players and interm coach have all the momentum.
Right. They do have talented players and nothing to lose. That said, I like our chances a lot more now than I did three weeks ago!
Worked for Nebraska in 2022 when Iowa had a division title on the line….
Maybe if they had their starting QB, but starting a freshman at night in Kinnick should be a recipe for disaster.
Uh oh, the resident retard who doesn't know how to read or discuss in good faith has made his way here.
It's actually tougher than you think. Not that I want to excuse that but all of the film and playbook that PSU has is basically thrown out the window. Well, maybe not the playbook but the strategy and tendencies aren't things you can really plan for now.
Correct. They had talented players with nothing to lose the last 2 weeks and still lost to "lesser" teams
What a bunch of reactionary weiners. Did everyone all worried about this think the game was going to be an insta-win before a head coaching change? Also what good does it do to get your panties in a bunch as a fan? If you're attending the game, be loud and make Kinnick the nightmarish hole it is known to be. Otherwise take a deep breath and relax.
Judging from what I've heard on various media and the general vibe I've gotten over the last few years and from people who know him, he doesn't seem like a really nice guy off the field. Unfortunately, a lot of the traits that make you a great division 1 football coach also make you a complete a-hole in other aspects of your life. I guess he would pull press credentials of media members who wrote stuff he didn't like so they tended to not write negative things. Evidently there were plenty of people writing negative things today though.
You haven’t been paying attention then. He’s outwardly hostile to their fans, even flipping them off at times. He’s got many issues beyond that as well.
It happens more than you think.
Yeah but Kirk intentionally made sure we lost that game so that we wouldn't get embarrassed again in the BTCG.
Franklin just wanted to get out before he had to lose to Iowa one final time......
People are worried because a team that was ranked #2 preseason, had national title hopes and filled with 5 star talent is going to be jacked to play with a freshman QB and a interim head coach to get to 4-3? Listen to yourselves. Already making excuses. No, PSU is going to be down, not saying Iowa wins because PSU has more talent but there is no “rallying” around like you saw at UCLA. UCLA has one of the best QBs in the country that was ignrorantly used incorrectly. They’ve been in rebuilding mode for a decade, they’re still developing. PSU is not the same thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear of guys sitting this week before bolting for the portal.
Wow. The level of stupidity in here never changes. So Iowa is PSU or OSU level team with those expectations, correct? So lets see, PSU is ranked 2nd to start the year loses to Oregon, then gets punked by an 0-4 UCLA team with numerous coaching blunders. (BY the way, I'd still chill about UCLA beating this mess, and a pretty bad MSU team). Then they play at home in a must win if they think they could still be in the playoffs, an get beat by NW (in what should have been a 9 point loss, as NW kneeled down instead of running into the endzone before the clock expired), and you think thats the same thing as Iowa? Okay then.....
