Has Jim Knowles been looking forward to his first White Out on the Penn State coaching staff? Short answer: No. “That’s not my job, really, to think about any of that. Whether it’s in a parking lot or in the best atmosphere in football - in a White Out game - it’s got to be the same. It has to be consistent for me in terms of our performance.” #WeAre #PennState

James Franklin didn’t want the current Virginia Tech players to feel like the Penn State transfers were being handed starting jobs. Every spot has to be earned, no matter where a player came from.

“I think your job as a coach is to create an environment where your players have an opportunity to be successful and then get out of their way. We’re in the solution business. If you’re a really good football coach, you are really good at solving problems” - Chip Kelly

In his National Signing Day press conference, James Franklin explained that Virginia Tech was not aiming to flip commitments from Penn State, or any other program: “I want to make sure that this is interpreted right: by no means were we out looking to take commits from any specific school. It really just came down to the kids that we’ve had relationships with, that we’ve known for multiple years. That’s really what that was about.” #WeAre #PennState

Tom Brady said coaches shouldn’t take all the blame, arguing that players should be held accountable too. Tom Brady: ...top five quarterback and a top twenty head coach, you're not going to be successful. That coach is probably going to be fired. If you've got a top five coach and the twentieth best quarterback, you're not going to be successful and they're going to fire the coach. And once you start firing coaches, which I always think is interesting and I'd love to learn from you guys, why do you fire so many coaches all the time? Tottenham had three coaches here. Why is everyone firing everybody? Don't they realize the players play? I'm sure if you have Leo Messi as your, as your, as one of your forwards, or one of your strikers you're not going to lose that much.

Josh Pate with a charged response to the firing of James Franklin at Penn State: "I think firing him is insane. I think Penn State firing him right now, off of 34-8 the past three years, one play away from a national championship appearance last year, is insane. And thinking you can do better, to the tune of paying $50 million in buyout money to prove it, is insane." Interestingly, Franklin made similar comments about the recalibration of college football just two weeks ago: "I don't think a lot of people, including our players, recognize college football has changed. It's much more of an NFL model now in terms of records, in terms of the season, and how it goes in the playoffs." #WeAre #PennState

Ultimately his last time in Beaver Stadium, James Franklin left Penn State football with the same message he preached from the start of his tenure with the Nittany Lions: "I love those kids. I am committed to those players in that locker room, and I've been that way for 12 years. I've been that way for 15 years of my head coaching career, and I've been that way for 30 years. That won't change. "It's always been about the players for me; that won't ever change. That's what it's all about for me. So, my commitment is to the guys in that locker room and all the guys that have been in that locker room in the past." #WeAre #PennState

Nick Saban thinks Matt Campbell can have success at Penn State, but not if the Nittany Lions keep their ‘championship or bust’ mentality: “These places that have, to me, a little bit of unrealistic expectations that we’re going to win the national championship. Only one team wins the national championship, and there’s a lot of competition out there…I mean, there’s all types of factors that go into whether you can finish the season the way you want. So, to make that sort of the goal, which is an outcome, that ‘We got to win the championship or we’re gonna get rid of the coach,’ to me is totally wrong. And they’ll have a hard time doing it if that’s the approach that they take. “Look, Matt Campbell did a great job at Iowa State because he won more there than most. So that tells you what the potential of the place is and what he was able to accomplish. I’m sure he’ll be able to do the same thing at Penn State.” #WeAre #PennState

What is Penn State football looking for in a new head coach? Pat Kraft lays it all out: "We want someone who honors our tradition but isn't afraid to evolve.
