The great thing about college football is the wide array of fans. I’ve met all sorts of Penn State fans, and I don’t just mean in terms of demographics. Fans that think Franklin is the best thing to happen to Penn State, those that think he can only recruit and not coach, and those that think he’s flat out terrible.
A coworker of mine is somewhere in the middle, and his concern is that Penn State is going to be stuck in the 11-2 to 9-4 range indefinitely. His concerns are that Franklin can recruit, but his clock management and in-game coaching decisions will allow games like Ohio State and Michigan State (both 2017 and 2018) to happen.
