self proclaimed Penn State sports historian, fantasy football/baseball champ, once was a fine catcher and kickball player

@UMPSU1983 @HardcorePSUFB @ThomasFrankCarr Does Campbell want to pay for Iowa St transfers who he has history with or pay for Penn State players he has no attachment? And to fill the roster without any 2026 recruits is gonna be costly

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@PSU_Dylan I’d be very surprised if it is less than 20. More than half could be far down the depth chart guys looking for new opportunity and probably a dozen or so getting offers they can’t refuse

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@PSU_Dylan @BasicBluesPod As every coach and player leaves the melt down happen and people the fans love will become the enemy.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@Ogre028484 @sekrah You are completely wrong

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@weRpsu99 @sekrah Could be wrong but $30 million is going to have to go a long way to replace 50 players. Does Kiffin need to bring in 50 players? $30 million sounds great but players know Penn State is in a bad way and will have to overpay

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

I can appreciate and thank Terry Smith for all he has done as Interim Coach and also not be in favor of him being the next Head Coach. If he is chosen he will have such a monumental task that it is more likely he is replaced in 2 years than is successful.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@LandonTengwall I suspect atleast 20 transfer out. Add that to the 30 seniors they will likely need 50. Hire an existing coach and you can expect he would bring some. Hire a coordinator, a coach not currently coaching or Terry Smith the task of acclimating 50 new players with new coach.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@Psu7893 @sekrah @RealCGriff What players didn’t he play? Koby Howard? Alex Tasch? Those are the only players who for meaningful playing time since Franklin left

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@BuckWhisperer_1 @sekrah From 2000 to 2015 Penn State ended the season top 15 3 times. Franklin’s teams did it 5 times. He inherited a dumpster fire and within 3 years got the program consistently top 15.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@sekrah Stanford related, Any chance David Shaw would be a candidate for Penn State. If not head coach I think he’d be an awesome GM.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@sekrah How many of the “candidates” for Penn State are Sexton clients and wouldn’t that be a deal breaker for getting hired here?

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@ByRobertMurray Some of you act like $1.25 million is Ohtani money. If he doesn’t perform you lose a pittance in MLB salary

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@sekrah @panuch11 100% agree. My comment was not how I feel, but how entitled fans feel

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@panuch11 @sekrah Why pay players they get scholarships, Players should come here because they love Penn State, not because of facilities or NIL. - these are not my opinions or complaints. Just the simple minded complaints that are repeated over and over when facilities needed upgraded

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@Ben_Jones88 @PaFootballNews Don’t confuse the haters with facts.

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@jspin80 @sekrah No one but Terry Smith would be interested in staying. Most if not all the staff will follow Franklin

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@taccovp17 @Tony_Rojas5 Take a look at how many players that played for Franklin that are playing in the NFL. For a guy who doesn’t develop players he sure does have a legacy of NFL players

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@JamesLarson47 @slrray524 @mvukovcan @Pirates Yep, and add in Van Meeter, Cole Tucker, Hoy Park, Tsutugo and others and that team was terrible

[PSUFrantzie @psufrantzie]

@JMackeyPG @gbrowniepoints Pham may be older but I think he is a better signing than bringing back Connor Joe. And I say that as a fan of Joe. But he had 2 years and he was just a marginal player. Bringing him back is status quo. At $4 million if he doesn’t pan out you just cut him.
