This sucks, but Beau is talented enough to start for another Power 5 team, and if he has a chance, even a slim chance to make an NFL roster one day in some capacity, which I think he does, he needs to do everything he can to get as much playing time as possible. It’s that simple.
Agree coach handled it great. The problem is for years, coaches would just up and quit before bowl games for a better coaching gig. It's the players who risk career ending injuries not coaches
It’s amazing how a small group of people can mess things up so badly. College football is a dumpster fire right now. These were class act comments from Franklin though. Represented the school well here
Beau will always be welcomed as a Nittany Lion. Go get what you deserve Beau, I’m sure most of Nittany Nation is wishing you to get what you need for you and your family.
Part of an article in USA today, I did not know this :He can enter the portal, stay on the Penn State team through its College Football Playoff run and then negotiate with other schools. This has nothing to do with a finite number of scholarships available, and the horror stories (most of them true) of players entering the portal and eventually not finding a home. Pribula is in the portal, and every school knows he’s transferring. If there’s a market for him in the portal, schools will wait to make a decision on a quarterback - the most important position on the field - until after Penn State’s CFP run.
Shit, talent wise and how good Beau really is, he can start for at least 10 to 12 big ten programs!!!! It sucks, that he is not staying with the team for the playoffs though!!!! WE ARE
First thing we need to do is stop calling them "Student Athletes." They are professionals and they should be treated as such. So basically coaches and players can do whatever they want for their best interest and everyone needs to understand that is just the way college football is now. If you don't like it, stop watching.
Franklin is right the NCAA is stupid. Simple solution is to move the transfer date after the season is over. Yes a player can transfer in time for the spring semester but might not be able to do that if they have to wait. Franklins bigger issue is he can’t win the big game.
lol maybe a commissioner of college football lol. If only there was an organization that would be in charge and think of these things. Idk I think a good name would be National Collegiate Athletic Association ncaa for short
Hey Coach Franklin, they killed the Goose that laid the Golden Eggs. It’s not about Student Athletes, and it’s not about the History & Traditions of the Institutions.
It's a shame he has to leave right now. Isn't SMU's QB staying through playoffs as far as they go. Can't he put in and keep playing for PSU until done with CFP. The system is screwed up and for how big this business is the NCAA should do better. Portal closed until after playoffs.
Yes, SMUs backup QB is entering the portal, but he's also finishing out the season Players also have 5 days after they play their last game of the season to enter the portal.
Unfortunately it's the poor timing that the transfer portal already opening. Spots are getting taken such as Auburn, Louisville, Duke, etc. If anything he should've left sooner for his personal interest.
To lose Beau prior to a playoff run tells a different story than what Franklin “the used car salesman” is saying. Beau could have stayed and hit the portal afterwards. Don’t blame him for leaving.
This is the best decision that Beau could have made. Franklin can't win big games. He talks a big talk but never delivers. This is another example of one of his classic B.S. sessions. If Franklin took his "Responsibility" seriously he would resign and allow the school to hire a coach who can win the big games.
I disagree 100% on Franklin. He does an extraordinary job representing the PSU football program that's far more important than anything else. Yes, he's lost some big games but at the same time, he's won a lot of games. PSU is a top-10 program that just needs to get over the hump which I'm sure they will at some point.
@@Maddog2020RHguess you enjoy being beat by Ohio State & it’s come down to coaching in a few of those.. sure he can be a good ambassador & also make dumbass decisions in big games.. both can be true.
Good for you coach…telling it like it is! I have renewed respect for you as a result.
Man, as a Michigan fan this gives me so much more respect for James Franklin. Not an easy situation for that kid, or any of them for that matter.
Nothing to apologize for coach. Thank you for your wise and supportive words.
I’ve warmed up to franklin a little this season. Lets have a good showing in the playoff

Wow! Some brutal honesty. Thank you, Coach!
Ill be rooting for beau no matter where he goes.
100% correct. The system is far from perfect.
He makes some pretty good points about the state of college football today.
An old old Penn St fan here, good luck and best wishes Beau. You did get to live a little of your dream, you were a Nittany Lion.
Agree coach handled it great. The problem is for years, coaches would just up and quit before bowl games for a better coaching gig. It's the players who risk career ending injuries not coaches
Dropping truth bombs, like James usually does. Obviously.
Obviously.
This coach is a class act!

Takes courage to look down the barrel of the CFB powers that be and speak the cold hard truth.
College Football screwing the pooch by allowing the portal to start before the season ends.

Anyone but Pitt
Truth and I agree! WE ARE…..
Im sad your leaving Beau good luck I'll be rooting for u , Franklin should have gave u more game time !!!!!!
Oh, James .. the whining .. yes, college football has problems. Let's start with head coaches making $7.5m per year.😂
Excellent

James if you could only beat a top 5 team once in a while...you would be the man.
😂😂😂
100%
boise state would be a good spot for him he'd ball out there
If you don't pay him enough somebody else will.
Student athletes? BS. It is pay for play. Football players, some of whom will do school and some who won’t.
Did you ever hear of the "Great Experiment?"
I agree with that!

Coach Franklin is a great representative of what a coach should be. PSU is lucky to have him
yep take a look at his actions at Vanderbilt
If you don't mind losing the big games go with Franklin.
He's right
Jeff Hostetler and Will Levis!
This has nothing to do with coaching...preach it James...this college football is a train wreck...
WVU's next qb
Hey Coach Franklin, they killed the Goose that laid the Golden Eggs. It’s not about Student Athletes, and it’s not about the History & Traditions of the Institutions.
This is probably what Franklin thinks about while elite coaches ponder things they can control on the football field.
It's a shame he has to leave right now. Isn't SMU's QB staying through playoffs as far as they go. Can't he put in and keep playing for PSU until done with CFP. The system is screwed up and for how big this business is the NCAA should do better. Portal closed until after playoffs.
Yes, SMUs backup QB is entering the portal, but he's also finishing out the season
Players also have 5 days after they play their last game of the season to enter the portal.
Unfortunately it's the poor timing that the transfer portal already opening. Spots are getting taken such as Auburn, Louisville, Duke, etc. If anything he should've left sooner for his personal interest.
Boise States backup QB also ended entering the portal.The portal is crazy
If this dude had an offer to make $10M but had to quit right now, he would have quit in a second.
NCAA is a joke really for having a system that forces a kid to make a decision like this during the playoffs.
NIL and the Transfer Portal are leading to the complete decimation of College Football. It Sucks!
Are they still defined as “student” athletes…? 🤔
college football needs a commish, this guy baker heading the NCAA is as bad as emmert.
To lose Beau prior to a playoff run tells a different story than what Franklin “the used car salesman” is saying. Beau could have stayed and hit the portal afterwards. Don’t blame him for leaving.
I'm sorry my Oregon Ducks had to destroy this team!
"destroy"? What game are you watching? 🤔
"Small Game James" is exactly what Penn State wants. He will never beat Ohio State or Michigan
Good Luck Beau!…..Unless you play us then for that game YOU SUCK!😂
This is the best decision that Beau could have made. Franklin can't win big games. He talks a big talk but never delivers. This is another example of one of his classic B.S. sessions.

And who would that be?!
You a JoePa lover?

Exactly, everyone takes this guy on his word. He's proven he's a fraud time and time again

You would be doing this interview if your chances to win the next game were not diminished. Very selfish. This is good for the student athletes.
