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.

I have been a fan of PSU football for over 45 years.
I was honored to watch and be a part of Joe Paterno's success. Joe hung on too long but he was a much more intelligent coach.
To me, he got screwed by being fired the way he did--terrible disrespectful shame.
He was a serious guy who took winning seriously.
Franklin is just not of the same caliber.
The loss today against OSU made me sick: the man, Franklin, has no balls, none.
WE ARE PENN STATE, this guy makes so much money--he's a good recruiter also--but he is NOT bright or ballsy or strategic enough to be our head coach.
Manny Diaz has a better or higher apptitude.
Larry Johnson would have been much better.
We should lose to OSU or Michigan rarely.
This guy is a great PR guy, good person who we have been lucky enough to have in some senses but he's the equivalent of a tepid assclown in terms his results in important games.
This is Penn State: we used to kick ass, that was our standard...today's game vs OSU: are you kidding me.
Get him TF outta here.

Horrible game day coach. OC needs to go too. Horrible play calling on crucial downs.

I can barely watch the games any longer it is so painful! Why is it that programs like OSU can go from one coach to another and continue a winning tradition! And PSU?

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.

Long overdue.
Coach Franklin has done nothing to help the team return to being the power house it once was.
The team/school/fans/alumni deserve better !

"Sandy" (athletic director) is clueless. Sandy and James -- great for "diversity"; bad for competitiveness. PSU has go too liberal.
