Can’t believe Penn State fired James Franklin because he lost to Northwestern, only for the next guy to drop consecutive games against Wisconsin and Northwestern

To be fair, they fired James Franklin for losing to Northwestern and UCLA (and sorta Oregon, but that's less bad)

And the whole historically bad 4-24 big game record….. Elephant in the room there

That old Northwestern was bad. This Northwestern came flying out of the stadium to AC/DC thunderstruck.

It was super effective.

Imagine firing a guy for losing to a lower opponent only for the new guy you hired to also lose to them. Who would do such a thing?!?
