It's a fair point (re: Stein/Lanning).

Len Damico @lendami.co · 8h

Honestly, they didn't have a choice. No idea what the next step is. And I'd guess that 80% of the P4 would kill for him.

Len Damico @lendami.co · 8h

Rhule is an absolute non-starter for me. He's a shittier version of Franklin. He would also make a whole lot of bozo Joebots very happy and I'm petty and want those people to never feel joy.

Stein is interesting (and fantastic) but I think this enterprise is too big for it to be your first job.

Didn't even post that one because it was so implausible.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule: He played linebacker at Penn State in the 1990s and has always loved his alma mater. He also worked under Kraft at Temple, where Rhule went from two wins to 10 wins in three years. Then at Baylor, Rhule turned a one-win team into 11 wins and went to the NFL. Things didn’t go well with the Carolina Panthers, but Rhule appears to be turning the corner at Nebraska too, as he’s 5-1 in his third season. Rhule and Kraft still vacation together. He’s the top name to watch for many obvious reasons.

Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck: Again, he wouldn’t be a top option, but Fleck has built a consistent program at Minnesota, with a 62-41 record over nine years and a top-10 finish in 2019.

called my dad (also a penn state alum) and the first thing he says is “what’s that matt rhule guy up to?”

I’ll tell you what, I would be very happy if my team played the way Brent Key’s teams do. I’d have to think about Fisch for a minute. I could probably get talked into it but I have to think we can do better.

No Matt Rhule under any circumstances. Not even once.

I think I’m at “make Cignetti say no.” None of the other names being floated do anything for me right now. Just, like, anyone but Rhule.

Weird old guys who just couldn’t put their finger on why they didn’t like James from the very beginning

I want to die.

A tweet from Adam Breneman:

When you fire James Franklin - who was one play away from the national title game last year, with all his success and a $50M buyout - you’re not just making a change. You’re going after a program-defining hire.

My short list ⬇️

- Curt Cignetti
- Marcus Freeman
- Alex Golesh
- Brent Key
- Dabo Swinney
- Lane Kiffin
- Dan Mullen
- Clark Lea
- Ryan Silverfield
- Jon Gruden
- Matt Campbell

Drew Allar deserves better than this.

By “this,” do I mean the injury? This season? This team? This coaching staff? This program?

Daniel Gallen @danieljtgallen.bsky.social · 15h

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar suffered an injury late in the loss to Northwestern & James Franklin quickly ruled Allar out for the year in his postgame news conference. for Allar, a senior, this is most likely the end at Penn State (via Tyler Calvaruso)

Allar is out for the remainder of the 2025 college football season after suffering an injury in Saturday's loss to Northwestern.

Spend a little time with the fact that all the Extremely Online UF fans know that the chances of Franklin being their coach next year are very very small, but not zero.

Len Damico @lendami.co · 15h

Yeah, can’t qwhite put my finger on those reasons.

Len Damico @lendami.co · 16h

people have always been extremely weird about James Franklin, so it should come as no surprise that people are being extremely weird about James Franklin now
