Simply stated James Franklin is a charlatan in the world of coaching. He and his staff are ruining the Penn State football program as evidenced in recent on field performances, the regression of once talented players, and the recent decommitting of many talented recruits. I could continue to cite hundreds more examples as to why he should be fired but to what end? All one has to do is turn on the television and watch one of the games. There are plenty of talented athletes on the PSU football team, but they need a coach to lead them. James Franklin wasn't good enough to play at PSU, and unfortunately he isn't good enough to coach here either. The NCAA probably lifted the sanctions against PSU because they knew that Franklin and his coaching staff would do far more to ruin the program than their sanctions ever could. Do your part to restore the roar and sign the petition to fire Coach James Franklin and his staff!! "We Were!!"

How do you lose to Indiana? Penn St has become a second tier team in the Big 10 under Franklin. He is a decent recruiter, the talent of the players is the only thing that keeps us in games. He id NOT a coach, especially a head coach, & defininitly not a top 25 coach. Penn St can do better & should insist on better.

Franklin must go. Coaches too. He is not a big time coach. Not a Harbaugh or Meyer. A great university like PSU deserves greatness at the top. That means Joiner as well. He is ill equipped with no experience. The Trustees need to spend the extra $3 million to get a Les Miles. We deserve it.

Franklin is fraud and has done zero to develop a group of talented young men. He needs to go and will forever be just a footnote in our football program. Alums, townies, lettermen, and PLAYER FAMILIES have had enough! Maybe East Stroudsburg needs a coach! We could only hope.

It would be good for Franklin to leave now before he removes all doubt that he can't coach. I was at the Michigan game and the fans were in agreement that Penn State was probably stuck with him because no one else wants him.

James Franklin is a solid recruiter but he is incapable of getting the best out of his players. Just dropped a game to Michigan, PSU was held to 3 field goals on 3 red zone trips. Absolutely terrible!!! I know two seasons is not enough time but they continue to regress.

PSU grad student: Franklin has to go! Terrible fame management, no adjustments. Same play on first down continuous times. Hacks Int was on a play which was, unbelievably run on the previous play. Leaving hack in with 1:15 to go to get sacked twice more is a disgrace. Said in post game he didn't think the plays they called would get the qb sacked. Wow, get this clown out of here!

He did not make a single adjustment against Illinois. The sad thing is that nobody on the coaching staff knew what to do. He was severely out coached. It’s a shame for the players.

Should have been fired long ago
