Fraud-klin can’t coach himself out of a paper bag. Constant undisciplined mistakes by players and horrible game strategy at times. His ceiling is two losses every year to OSU and UM. Penn State will never get to the playoffs under him.
They'll make it when it expands but it'll always be a first-round exit.

Franklin didn’t think his team could win today. He coached like it. That negativity rubs off on the team. He is not a leader.

Unfortunately, Penn State hasn't been relevant in the national picture for a long time. Now, tOSU and UM are clearly superior. Enter Oregon, Washington, and USC and the possibility of PSU in the playoff becomes even less likely. It won't be impossible, but it will be improbable.

incomplete on the 2-pt conversion. Allar had Theo, but he was late getting it to him

Unfortunately playing desperately is Fraud-kiln’s MO.
Bad coaching can’t be overcome in any amount of quarters.

settle for FG early when they should have gone for TD. Go for 2 when they should have kicked. Go for 2 again when an xp maintains one-score possibility.

This staff stinks. We need to face that.

And this is another spot where Franklin is one of the dumbest coaches in college football. He can't do scoreboard math. You don't go for 2 in the first half. You don't go for 2 down 9 late because if you miss it, you're totally f'd.
Simply inexplicable.

Franklin vacations in the pan handle for a reason. Can’t wait for Audrey Synder’s article breaking down this clunker.
