God forbid we rightfully honor the man that makes Penn State a “blue blood” and won more games than anyone else in history. Wearing a 409 pin honors Penn State.
On 1 - fine, why not just "hang him out to dry" .... the season was a lost cause anyway, what purpose was served by re-grouping just to get to 6-6?
On 2 - stay tuned I guess.
Just bumping this thread -- since, its now Dec 1 and we still have made no hire. No clue why were in "such a rush" to fire Franklin when we didn't, clearly, have anyone lined up.
What definition? The University has made many acquisitions of health centers, surgery centers, hospitals, etc which would absolutely add goodwill to the balance sheet.
Franklin owns these losses. They should be on his record, not Terry's...
Edit: we're also not making a hire until the end of the season, what was the rush? He let Franklin off easy, by not having to face the fans & media during this stretch.
Honestly, this is better money spent than spending $10m+/yr on a head coach. Find a guy willing to do it for $2m and spend the rest on roster management.
We were truly blessed to have this guy at the helm for all those years. The fans today -- many of our own included -- who disrespect what Joe meant to Penn State, the game of college football -- are absolutely delusional. We are all worse off today without Joe here to ground us. We were lucky...
