Klieman retiring certainly came as a big surprise. Good for him in retiring earlier than most people.

Dude hates the NIL and Portal.

A lot of these coaches, the older ones, that liked it better when they could control everything and ruin kids lives, they hate the portal. I get it.

I think you are going to see a huge run on "young" coaches get hired, guys that "get it".
 
It is like I have said, most people that do hiring/firing have no idea what they are doing it when it comes hiring and firing. It is a huge guessing game, so it is not really their "fault".

This PSU AD clearly failed up, which is great for him and his bank account. We have all seen it over and over. If you have not seen it, you are probably the one that has failed up at your job.
 
Jim Rome just started his show ripping Penn State's administration to shreds. He said this will set the program back years, maybe half a decade. He said no one worth a damn wants the job; that Penn State is no longer a top tier job and has a cultural problem. He also said he doesn't understand how the AD still has a job.
 
LSU and PSU were in similar situations. I wonder if LSU knew beforehand that they could get Kiffin (prior to firing Kelley).

But also, college football is such a big business with very little patience anymore. LSU fired Orgeron 2 years after winning a natty. At LSU he went 6-2, 9-4, 10-3, 15-0 (National Champs) then Covid 2020 (5-5), and fired the next year 6-6.

Because teams play 13-15 games, 9 wins is the absolute floor during regular season and still find the hot seat. You have to rarely drop below 10 wins during regular season (including CCG wins) to stick around at programs that want playoff football every year.

So I get why PSU might have fired Franklin, but should have waited until regular season ended like everyone else did. Personally I would have chalked it up as a flukey bad year and if you don't make playoffs next year (2 years in a row) then show him the door. Because you will be stuck being a little better than most teams with Franklin, but not good enough consistently making playoffs.

Plus, with the B1G adding Oregon & USC, as well as the rise of Indiana & Cignetti madness, and of course tOSU & Michigan, that leaves Penn State having a harder climb that before.
