Media Narrative: Penn State WRONG to Fire James Franklin + Urban Meyer as a LEGIT Candidate?!
Description
National pundits say Penn State made a mistake firing James Franklin after a 13-win season and College Football Playoff appearance — but the Nittany Lions believe they can do better. Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler break down why the move made sense, why Franklin’s ceiling had been reached, and what comes next in the coaching search. From Matt Rhule and Mike Elko to long shots like Urban Meyer, they evaluate who best fits Penn State’s vision for the future. Plus: how Pat Kraft’s confidence proves this isn’t a panic move — it’s a reset.
