Penn State’s Coaching Dilemma: Time for a Change?
Time has finally run out for James Franklin. Another loss is possible for the Nittany Lions. There is also a probability of two more losses on their schedule. His era in State College is coming to a close.
This season was when Penn State was expected to follow in the footsteps of Michigan and Ohio State. They were supposed to bring home the National Championship.
The key players passed on the NFL to come back and bring a title to State College. This was the year James Franklin was supposed to change the narrative from small-game James to big-game James.
What happened? The best laid plans of mice and men.
Losing a double-overtime game to Oregon is one thing. Nevertheless, a championship-caliber team doesn’t trail by 20 at halftime to a winless UCLA. It was not a last-second field goal that sunk them. Penn State was dominated from the start of the game.
The coach blamed a multitude of factors. He blamed these instead of himself. Not a good look, JF.
Now the question is not if, but when, they part ways. Reports show that the buyout amounts to just under $50 million as of January 1st. This amount is difficult for many programs to swallow.
The Buffalo Bills might win the Super Bowl for Terry Pegula. If they do, he may decide to step up to cover a significant portion of the buyout. Adidas can also help its flagship school repair its image. The school might also need to persuade Franklin to step down. It is a combination of all three and more.
Regardless, once this season is finished, it is time to move the program ahead.
The next question will be who they turn to. They need someone to take the program back to a championship and big game level. Removing the Franklin will cost approximately $50 million. They must focus their search on individuals with a vested interest.
These individuals should be interested in restoring the program to its former glory. They should value the program even more than the highest paycheck they can earn.

Top Quarterbacks of the Season: Who Stands Out?
I watched many games during the first few weeks of the season. John Mateer, Fernando Mendoza, and Carson Beck impressed me more than Arch Manning, Drew Allar, and Cade Klubnik.
Arch should avoid even thinking about the 2026 draft and instead focus on refining his skills. Manning performed better in his game this week. Yet, he still hasn’t consistently shown the elite level of ability on all throws.
This defines his game. This ongoing development should continue to improve. He needs two years as a starter to be fully prepared for the NFL.
Drew appears somewhat robotic and struggles to get off to a strong start in games. He is not the ideal fit for the Franklin system. He seems to excel as a professional player more than he would in college.
Yet, this potential success will largely depend on having a strong offensive mindset. Some speculate they allowed the wrong quarterback transfer. This speculation arises after seeing how well Missouri QB Beau Pribula has been playing this season.
Cade performed somewhat better against a weaker opponent this week. They were facing Troy. His team was trailing by double digits at halftime. Completing 50% of his passes against LSU and similar teams is insufficient. It will not improve his chances in the draft. He needs to elevate his game sooner rather than later.
Mateer secured a significant victory against Michigan this weekend. He demonstrated the leadership, arm strength, and running ability necessary to guide the Sooners’ offense. He is certainly confident and possesses qualities like Baker’s that many may not realize.
NFL Predictions and Insights on Penn State, Miami, Notre Dame and 2026 NFL Draft
For anyone claiming a new NFL head coach will fail, I have a question. Who knew that Andy Reid, then a tight end coach for the Green Bay Packers, would become one of the greatest coaches ever? How excited were the New England Patriots years ago to hire former Cleveland Browns head coach Bill Belichick?
Should Philadelphia be the favorite for the NFC East? Absolutely, but let us remember they have a new offensive coordinator, several new defensive players, and the challenge of repeating. There must be a reason it’s been decades since the NFC East has had a repeat champion.
Don’t forget the Commanders won eight one-score games in 2024. Twelve of their 17 games were decided by one score or less. It’s funny. The “experts” have locked them in as the number two team in the NFC East. They are also considered one of the top teams in the entire NFC.
Jayden Daniels certainly looks like a long-term answer for Washington. But let us remember the ESPN (I believe) documentary after Robert Griffin III’s first year entitled “The Greatness of RG3.” In other words, let’s sit back and watch his sophomore season.
Just a reminder: in his last three full seasons, Dak Prescott is 36-15 and was the 2023 MVP runner-up.
I like that Dallas has started to sign upcoming free agents (Bland, Luepke). If they can resign Tyler Smith early this season, they can roll into 2025.
By mid-season, they should have a good understanding of what George Pickens (24 years old) is all about. If he continues to execute well and click with the Cowboys, they should lock him up on a new deal. Then the most expensive and high-profile free agent would be Kenneth Murray, Donovan Wilson, or Dante Fowler. Not bad. Good start, let’s finish it.
As more details come out, it seems the Parsons saga had no other way to end but the way it did. The anti-Cowboys media was quick to point out the draft capital situation. They did not get enough, according to them, and they made other comparisons to trades.
Other teams received more draft capital than Dallas received from Green Bay for Parsons. Of course, failing to add a three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle to the equation.
What if Cincinnati struggles? I heard speculation that they decide to get out of his deal. One of the Green Bay picks is sent to the Bengals for Trey Hendrickson. Then the trade becomes Trey Hendrickson, Kenny Clark, and a number one pick. That’s pretty good and has less cap hit than Parsons’ deal.
The extra first-round pick would allow Dallas to take a QB for the long term. It would also enable the team to tackle a pressing need. Boy, would the anti-Dallas guys at ESPN and Fox Sports be mad, especially if Parsons’ back issues worsen.
