and be like, you know what, we're done.
We're ready to spend it now.
I think that's going to put a lot more pressure on other schools to do it, which is interesting because we're in a year where I don't know if we've ever seen this many coaches fired at this point in the season.
Just week seven and so many powerful jobs are open.
Several group of five jobs are open.
I just think that the standard for giving a little grace is pretty much gone, even though I do think Luke Fickle should be gone, Hugh Freeze should be gone, Billy Napier should be gone.
Why is it crazy that they fired him?
Well, I think just like sort of the context of, okay, three weeks ago, you were a top five team.
I think the timing is what is crazy about it.
And also like, I like to make a lot of fun of James Franklin.
You guys know this.
It's funny that he can't win the big game.
We know that.
However, when you're looking at James Franklin objectively from a college football standpoint, who is better that Penn State is going to get?
That is what I think is so crazy.
I would assume they have to have somebody in mind to be willing to make that giant cut to pay that giant check because he's winning 10 games every year.
Obviously, things change with UCLA and Northwestern and whatnot, but I don't know who they get that's better than that because I don't think Kurt Cignetti is leaving Indiana for that job.
Yeah.
I just, I think it's the two weeks is such a long time to, or such a short time, excuse me, to like make a decision that brash where, okay.
So two weeks ago, you had no idea that James, none of us would have ever assumed James Franklin would not have a job two weeks from now.
