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 and coach them to victory. Do your part to restore the roar and sign the petition to fire Coach James Franklin.

The current momentum confirms that stakeholders are aligned on the necessity for a leadership change. I am now preparing a formal dossier to present to the university administration regarding the documented decline in program performance.

He was 9-3 as head coach at Vanderbilt, yet he can’t do better than 10-2 at Penn State. Think about that.
He is paid $7M per year. For that, PSU should receive excellence. Under Franklin, PSU is anything but that. The team grades this year are the lowest in the BigTen. The buck stops with him. He is in charge.
I have been a Penn State football fan for 55 years - it is time to make a change and fire James Franklin and honor the legacy of Penn State Football.
When he came to Penn State, he was interviewed after his first bad loss and he closed the interview by saying he would fix it and adding, "We won't let you down, I promise." Yet he continues to let the fans down every single year. He'd make a great used car salesman but he's a lousy game coach who can't develop an offense line. The only worse coach in the Big 10 with high expectations and even lesser subpar results is the Nebraska coach. Both PSU & Nebraska should send their HCs on their way instead of settling for mediocrity excuses year in and year out.
His coaching is absolutely terrible. We rely on the head coach to make great decisions. Since they lost the Ohio state game a few years ago where he ran the same play multiple times to lose the game. Until the 3 and 0 start this year, I have felt he needs to be replaced!
Complete fraud.

This last debacle vs Ohio State shows a lack of creativity in play calling as well as not fully utilizing his best players (T Warren). Also, fire Andy K, O-coordnator
