So you make that giant, you make that giant decision.

I understand the decision.

You have to have somebody else in place if you're willing to spend $50 million to get rid of James Franklin.

He wins 10 games a season.

You have to have somebody who you think is better than that.

Is that Matt Rule?

I don't think so.

Is Kurt Cignetti leaving for that job?

I don't think so.

Is that Manny Diaz?

I don't think so.

So that is what is confusing to me is to make a decision that is that expensive, that is that quick, and you have to have somebody in place already, and I don't know who that would be.

See, that's what I think.

So I think Penn State is in a unique position because there are still members of their fan base that were alive when they were winning national championships.

Lots of schools cannot say that.

So the standard at Penn State is just a little bit higher.

The playoff thing is interesting because a lot of people will say that Penn State had the easiest run in the playoffs, which I do agree with.

But I think it's the fact that he was losing the big games.

We all know that is something he has done, but he had never lost the small games until UCLA and Northwestern.

And UCLA might be the greatest football team in the world now.
