How are we going to be competitive?

Good analysis. We'd have lost this game last year too.

Last year we lost two games by one point, one game by 5, overtime loss to Oregon, and should have beat Indiana…you bounce the ball a few different ways and we still almost made the playoff last year!

If you can’t look at one season of awful luck and judge a man and a program that way-you are the one who deserves to be judged. How could I support a program or company that can’t ride with its leaders when things get rough? Winners don’t just throw in the towel after 5 games-it shows Kraft’s imbecilic decision making based on nothing. That’s never been my mind state and I didn’t think it was Penn State’s either to just give up. Now hearing alot of you on this board…especially how you talk about Coach Campbell I see you’re delusional. You put unfair pressure on him to succeed-and that seems to be a trend of the fan base.

You say the fans were yelling at Franklin after Northwestern? Why is that Franklin’s fault? That’s how wild animals behave.

THAT extreme moment of disrespect shows you that the fan base is disconnected with reality and on top of that toxic and spoiled.

Kraft should have doubled down instead of listening to the loud minority. He’s the Mike McQuery in this situation….the one who caused the entire problem to begin with!

Imagine giving a HC a roster cut in half and then saying you have less than a year to produce.....it's idiotic. MC may fail, but any moron making that call already is just looking for attention and lack the capacity to see this isn't even a decent PSU roster. It's dark years bad and back then it wasn't due to half the roster bailing it was due to a HC who had such an ego at the end he thought he was too good to actively recruit and people gave him a pass. PSU had to fill it's roster and it's not an overnight fix with how much they replaced. This year isn't a surprise to me at all, but then again I wasn't a moron going around without seeing the team play a single snap and saying 10 wins easy.....dumb people really thought that and NOW they want to light their torches because they were too stupid to know better. They can get bent FWIW.

To be fair, PSU fans can look at Bob Chesney, who came to UCLA from a less well-regarded program, came into a worse overall situation (despite last year's PSU performance, the overall situation at UCLA was worse), and brought in 62 new players (42 transfers and 20 frosh) on a slightly lower budget, and hired at almost exactly the same time ... so it's not like PSU fans expecting something better than what we've seen would be hoping for the impossible, since it's happening elsewhere. That may be the exception that proves the rule, but it's still not this completely unthinkable dream that PSU wouldn't be terrible this year.
