I'll never forget the first team meeting James Franklin held after getting hired at Penn State. I sat in the 2nd row, right in front of him. He outlined a plan and a vision to take Penn State Football from the dark ages under sanctions to one of the... premier programs in college football. Now 10 years later, that plan has come to fruition. I've witnessed him in action first hand. How he builds relationships. How he communicates. And his drive to get from "great to elite." I went to Happy Valley to sit down with my former coach to talk about the past, the present and the future. This is James Franklin's story -- unfiltered. WATCH:show more

@PennStateFball Great parenting advice from @coachjfranklin: "You have way too many parents trying to be their kids friends, rather than their parents. Just because you have a healthy relationship with someone, doesn't mean it's always puppies, rainbows and kisses." #freerangeparenting
