- 0:00 Yeah, I think his his firing was was completely justified, but it does bring up the issue um like how much media has an impact on Um perception of teams and you can kinda see how flawed that is with some of these AP poll voters.
- 0:20 Um I believe like some people vote for a brand in the rankings rather than the actual team itself.
- 0:28 And you know, Penn State's a well-established brand, you know, they have a great fan base, uh they're famous for their white out games.
- 0:35 Um they always seem to have high expectations, but they they never get anything done really.
- 0:41 I mean they were competitive last year making the uh playoffs and and winning a playoff game, but I really think that the media can overhype these teams and you know with social media nowadays a lot of people um can kind of see right through that and you know they create a lot of negative energy around a program and I see I think that's what's happening with Penn State here.
- 1:03 I mean, James Franklin did have to go, but I think the Penn State athletic director needs to take a look at what's going on with the team and really assess like what their expectations should be because putting unreal like realistic expectations on a program can kind of be the way that it collapses and you know they don't really see any forward progress.
- 1:22 Um I'm interested to see how this uh affects the recruiting path or recruiting trail for Penn State, but it's it's it's interesting to see what what'll happen in the future.
