@LandonTengwall Bottom line: @coachjfranklin was a great head of marketing and recruiting fit for a TOP 10 football program, but he seemed to be outclassed in the biggest games from an X's and O's perspective - dependent on OC and DC game planning too long and not taking control to "coach".
@WhiteOutFB A "commitment" does not carry any weight anymore like it used to, sort of a promise to meet you for dinner - but don't make any plans if I find something better. We might not want these athletes that keep on chasing other opportunities so easily.
@MalloeMalloe@PennStateFball Welcome to Happy Valley. Spent 2.5 yrs in Hawaii...glad to get some Aloha Spirit in the PSU Sports program. "Success with Honor" & Aloha!
@JayRuh2@jakemmccleary@KirkHerbstreit The SEC argument about why no SEC team is left in the CFP (or has won a title in the last 3 yrs) posted earlier is a "My Head is in the Sand" comment
Is he right? I know he runs the tech company that has become the backbone of cloud / AI computing, but I also am skeptical of the person in his position "naming" the future of tech.
“The entire 5-layer stack of the computer industry is being reinvented,” Jensen Huang says at CES 2026. “You no longer program the software, you train the software.”
@PSU_Dylan Better than Becht IMO, likely going to Texas Tech. Why go pro if you can get $4-$5M and stay around a great campus setting for 1 more year (versus sitting on the bench for at least 1/2 of the season in the NFL)?
@CoryGiger I agree, slim chance to get into field goal range - however their chance went under 10% without the option to use the middle of the field. My guess is that they did not prepare for the first down
@LandonTengwall No thank you...needs more time. Feels like the Chargers coach - too much too fast. Franklin was a CEO type, so you need something similar plus an Xs and Os (game strategy) guy. Purple Squirrel hire...
@PSUBarstool Solid culture guy & recruiter, just not a great game manager (in game strategy coach). That is why he kept rotating coordinators. When you know you do not have the right leader to bring you the championships you expect, you have to move quickly. Hire slow and fire fast.
@geoffschwartz It almost looks like the left side of the line was paid not to block anyone, I really do not get it. 53 and 85 need to answer some questions.
