Fran Brown, Brent Key, Alex Golesh, Jon Sumrall should be who they’re looking at if they can’t get Cig or maybe try to get Kiffin.
lying cac
He doesn't win when it matters.
how many times were penn state better than the team they were facing?
Joe pa didn't have a good record against michigan and ohio state as well

This is true, he also said when he first got hired is that it's going to take some time. Cal responded by hiring Riverboat Ron Rivera who's a Cal alumni.
Penn state has to pay james franklin 50 mill
and then hire a new coach and prob pay him 10 mill a year only to guess what lose to ohio state, michigan and oregon
Penn state is just not good enough but they will have a cac their alums can relate too

Gotta buyout assistants too.. how much Knowles due?
This is blowing my mind. I assumed pre-NIL era coach buyouts (Jimmy sexton bending ADs over tables) were non-starters now that youre on the hook for paying players and theres less money to go around
Paying your roster natty-push money and still scrounged up $50 million mid-season
Mustve hated that man

Even though he had a tough L of his own last night, gotta think Lox is allowing himself a slight

Lot of history with those two, and no love lost between 'em.

Bolded are probably the worst parts of an absolutely terrible argument you're making.
When you're trying to make the playoff, who you beat absolutely does matter, especially when the reputation your coach and program carry is that wins against top ranked teams are the exception, not the rule. Or, a better way to put it, similar pro ball, the easiest way to make the playoffs is to win your conference. When you're guaranteed to lose no less than one game against one of the frontrunners to make the conference title game, and then most likely lose said game if you make it there, you're not putting yourself in the best position. I mean, if Ryan Day was out here coaching to save his career last season, how in the fukk was James Franklin supposed to survive how bad this season has been?
And Oregon just recently got back to being solid in the last five years or so, running the Pac-12 while it slowly died. I don't think anyone was expecting them to win the Big Ten in their first season, and then follow up with clearly being at worst the second best team in the conference the year after. This was supposed to be Penn State's clearest path to a Big Ten title and instead they're dropping games to Northwestern. Unfortunately, breh's time was just up.
Can't sere Cignetti leaving Indy. Same conference, money is starting to come in with the wins, and he's not following anybody or anything at Indiana. He's writing his own script and legacy in real time game by game. Indy will match or improve on whatever anybody tries to throw at Cig.PSU really is the james franklin of football programs, guess they think they can do better. I'd throw a BAG at Cignetti

Surprised they fired him considering the 58M buyout and with Beaver Stadium undergoing a 700M renovation but it needed to be done cuz the team has quit on Franklin
