JF is the man. Couldnt be prouder to have this man as our HC. I hope he tunes out the noise. Aholes always scream the loudest, but the majority of true blue blooded PSU fans love this guy. Thanks JF #WeAre
_Aholes always scream the loudest_
The irony of this statement cannot be overstated.
The FACTS AND STATS scream the loudest. “Majority” is a joke lmfao. You’re lying to yourself at this point. You guys are absolutely mindless. Not a coach in existence does less with what they have. Fact. You’re a fake fan.
Nope. Facts and statistics scream the loudest. And they don’t agree with you… Fake fan. What “majority?” All 4 of you? If you like losing so much go watch Colorado. You don’t belong here
Love his confidence and bravado. That's the mark of a great leader in any organization.
Seems like he made some great hires and am hopeful those coaches put the players in the positions to make the 3-5 plays that will change the outcome of 1 or 2 games.
Great interview Christian!
Franklin burner account, we know Penn state will lose to Ohio state as always.
I guess he has to come off that way, but given the talent on the roster, why did they lose all of the games to top-10 teams this past year, and why did it take him so long to realize he had to change the O-coordinator? Finally ask him why he has one of the worst records of any major power conference coach against top-20 teams.
Great interview thank you Hack
Christian Sackenberg
Great video
Thank you for this! Awesome
Thank you
Our RB core is amazing !!! Kay, Nick, London and Quinton then we have promising WR in Kaden, Peter and Tyseer. Our defense is amazing with Abdul and a young superstar in Tony Rojas. No reason we shouldn’t win the big 10. Drew has to let it fly or Beau needs more reps
Crazy to see the number of players that PS puts into the league every year and still havent made the playoffs or played for a natty…..
Good question for Franklin: We noticed a lot of your players got drafted by the NFL this past weekend. With all that talent on the roster, why did you struggle so much against top-10 teams?
One of the offenses in college football is insane, I wish. Get better wrs
Love Coach Franklin, never sugar coats it and isn’t afraid of the tough conversations
You’re more delusional than he is. Holy shit. Are you even a real person?
Just makes excuses for failure...on other people.
that's funny.
Always sugar coats it, and is terrified of tough conversations. Being a Franklin supporter is not possible without ignoring reality and denying facts. You are just like him. Fake fan.
One of the best offenses in college football?!? Are you kidding? Maybe in 1994 but no way in 2023.
Wait what their final ranking was 52nd in total offense
He said “better” not “best.”
He very specifically made sure to add the caveat that they were not good enough in the games that mattered.
For context against the teams that were not OSU, UM and Ole Miss they averaged 41.9 PPG, which would have put them in the top-5 scoring offenses in college football (with the other three games they finished 13th in the country). However, in the other three games that average was 17.33 PPG, which very clearly was not good enough. They wore down lesser opponents with a plodding, but efficient, offense en route to some pretty lopsided wins, but never established the explosive plays needed to beat superior opponents.
The hope is Kotelnicki can take the good from last year and add an explosive element.
So basically he’s bs’ing us. Flim flam man.
@@mikeyohe4750 I’m not really sure how that’s what you gathered from that, unless you’re looking for a reason to be upset.
Their offense was very good last year, but absolutely could be better. Taking the very good elements and adding Kotelnicki’s offense, with the hope it adds some explosiveness, is the difference between falling short in the “big game” and finding those 2-3 big plays that swing the game in your favor.
So no, he’s not bs’ing anyone when he has openly admitted last years offense was not good enough when it mattered.
Didn't even talk about Tom Allen who is by far the most important new hire this off-season.
😂😂
Anthony kotel is very easily a more important hire
@@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379 more than our defensive coordinator?? The only reason Penn State has even been successful is because of our defense especially the past decade.
@@averagebloke4474 because Penn state is a defensive powerhouse by nature and as such, it is more likely that our defense will be elite regardless of coordinator and not our offense. On top of that, kotelnicki is hailed as one of the best offensive coordinators in the country and tom allen is not viewed in a similar way
@@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379 that's exactly what I'm saying. We need our defense way more than anything. I just see it differently. As a Penn State fan I want better. Franklin always has an excuse.
Franklin you better go out and get a great WR in the portal who can stretch the field !!!! Wallace is not a given to stay healthy
Numbers speak for themselves..here they are...Top 15 recruiting classes every year/how many Conference titles/playoff appearances..1/wasnt even his recruits....vs OSU/MICH..4-17...vs top 10 opponents like 6-20.....keep pounding your chests Franklin supporters/its the culture/win by losing.
Precisely. No coach does less with the talent they have than PSU.
Padded record. Abysmal gameplay on a big stage. I fucking hate this guy more than words will ever be able to express. Not because I complain for the sake of complaining… but because I pay attention.
Did these PSU posters here actually watch the games last year.......3 losses. Offense never showed up.
The offense didn't even show up in the Northwestern game until late in the fourth quarter.
One of the best college offenses in CB, WTF. LOL I can't even submit a comment it is so much as used car salesman.
It’s true lol
Typical James Franklin lip service. 10 years 1 Big Ten championship 0 national championships is not enough for Penn State football.
😂
..that 1 championship wasnt even his recruits/just here for the early ride....since then....nada/zero/nothing.
This guy is a "used car salesman" and is a "horrible head coach"!!!! His record against top ten teams is "horrendous"!!! He shoulda been fired years ago, the guy is "delusional"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't even get a first down against ohio state for 3 quarters.
This indiana dc is going to ruin the defense brand this team plays in a couple years.
How?
