James Franklin Fired At Penn State Despite 70% Win Rate: Was It About Wins Or Who He Couldn’t Beat?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the firing of James Franklin.

James Franklin was fired as head coach of Penn State recently despite winning 70% of his games. However, Franklin's record against top 25 teams was 15-28 and his record against top 10 teams was 4-21. This includes a 1-15 record against top 5 teams. Was Franklin's firing justified? What do these schools/college football programs truly value?

This weekend, the #6 Alabama Crimson Tide will play the #11 Tennessee Volunteers at 7:30 on Saturday Night (Oct. 18). Who will win?

It is Throwback Thursday and we are honoring D'Angelo!
