Transcript

0:00 It was announced yesterday that James Franklin was fired as the head coach of Penn State, which is honestly crazy to believe, even though I think just about everyone saw it coming.
0:12 He had a record of 17 and 26 against AP top 25 teams, and even worse record against top 10 teams with seven and seventeen.
0:23 So it was uh it was a long time of waiting, but it's just crazy how fast the uh Penn State football team imploded after losses to UCLA and Northwestern this past weekend uh after coming into the season as a uh top five favorite and one of the college football playoff national champion uh favorites.
0:42 So uh we'll see where that that puts James Franklin going forward, uh seeing if any teams uh a little bit lower tiered, less competitive pick him up, uh maybe as a coordinator of some sorts.
0:54 But it's uh it's pretty interesting to see how fast the whole Penn State operation exploded.
