Life comes at you fast. Penn state was a play away from being ranked 1 or 2 a few weeks ago.

Facts are facts. Theyre 5-1 and in the top 10. There's no thinking its a top 10 team. Thats what they currently are. They may lose more. But they haven't yet. Quit being a vag.

Wait and see if we lose to Vandy and aggy first before calling for the firing of a coach who has a top 10 team squarely in the playoff picture

What more could your power broker friends want? Besides a championship every year.

At UTAustin the “big money power brokers” run the show. That’s the reason they haven’t won a title in over a decade.

We do not want that

I’m genuinely asking. What could these LSU big money LSU people want at this point.

Everyone, including BK knows the OLins is playing poorly, they also know that Nuss has regressed.

We’re ranked in the top 10 in a 12 team playoff system. That by definition is squarely in the picture. I’m not sure what year your fantasy is in but it’s strange.

Top 10 in October does nothing to help you in December.

You should probably research a little before you post stupid shite. Woodward didn’t give Jimbo the huge contract that A&M had to buyout. That was his replacement Ross Bjork.


How dumb are you buddy

You realize the 12th spot goes to the top "G" team?

Franklin has been there 12.5 seasons.

He is 1-11 vs Ohio State and jsut lost to UCLA and Northwestern

he’s basically on his 5th Nuss.

but basically the same situation we’re in

This a serious question? Penn State is a money school. LSU is not. Penn State has one of the biggest collectives in the country. They can afford NOT to settle for less. LSU isn't poor, but they don't have 60 million freely laying around on top of the roster expenses, etc. to ditch a coach. Between Petrino and Franklin they've spent like 200 million ditching them. They don't care about money and why should they when they're one of the richest schools? Their rabid fanbase dumps into their NIL collective as well, unlike LSU fans.

You haven’t watched college football. There are no dominant teams. Our talent alone makes us a top tier team.

TAMU probably looks like best team in SEC right now from a week-to-week basis. But yeah, not exactly any teams you can point to definitely separating. Ohio State has a cupcake schedule and has played NOBODY.

This thread is hilarious on multiple fronts and many of these comments show just how many dumbasses are in the LSU fanbase.

1. A buyout for Franklin is basically 50 mill. They also have to buy out all coaches, hire new coaches, pay their players to not run away, and pay for new recruits and a shite ton of transfers. Good luck with that.

2. James Franklin is in his 12th year of Penn St, brought back 2 one thousand yard rushers, a 3rd year starter at QB, multiple NFL level defenders, and a nice portal class and STILL lost 3 games in half a season. He didn't lose his 3rd game last year until the 3rd round of the playoffs.


3. He literally lost to every power 4 team he has played this year. The last two teams he lost to are worse than Clemson, Florida, and South Carolina.
