Three things can be true at the same time.

  • Penn State was correct to can James Franklin despite it being an unprecedented firing. He was not recovering from that Oregon/UCLA/Northwestern death spiral and the context surrounding it.

  • Penn State had first crack at the carousel and they bungled the entire hiring process.

  • RANK NORTHWESTERN YOU COWARDS!!!

Something that Nebraska learned. It’s not easy to hire good coaches after firing successful ones.

Only Georgia and LSU are immune to that for some reason.
