But winning games is the most important part, and ol Jimmy isn't very great at that. Every time he plays some with equal or greater talent, he walks away with an L.

Coach Franklin said in the interview, Adam committed to Penn State when it was not a sexy decision. Thank you Adam for your time at PSU! You and Christian were vital in Old State’s return to prominence.

Worth the wait! i graduated this past spring and have been a psu football fan my entire life. CJF convinced me to make my first donation to the NIL collective. Wasn’t much but I want to see us get to that next level so badly. I hope more alumni start to contribute, a little bit can add up to a whole lot! Great interview dude!

Honestly remember that in the student section. Wild to me how bi polar some fans can be, and even within the same season. Went from Fire Franklin to revering him and being psyched.

Best interview I’ve seen of James Franklin since he’s been at penn state. I think The traditional PSU media just doesn’t have the insight like former players do to ask the interesting questions. Great job

That script sweatshirt that coach is wearing though is sweet

Great listen. Even as a Michigan fan, I Like and respect Franklin. He got dealt a bad hand and is making Penn State the power brand it once was

So I'm a PSU Alumni 1991 and I was a strength coach for the team for 2 years. I was never a James Franklin supporter. As A matter fact, I pretty much hated him from the start. After watching your channel and hearing him talk I have a totally new prospective. A friend of mine, Kurt Werkheiser who played ball with coach Franklin in college kept telling me he's really a good guy. I wasn't a believer, but now I am. I'm not saying I love the guy, I just don't hate him as much LOL. If he gives us a win over Michigan and Ohio State this year then maybe I'll love him. Great interview and keep up the great job. We Are...

Salute to the man he is and his character, his morals, the respect and the real he brings to everyone around him! Didn’t know my prayers would be answered in the form of James Franklin, But Knowing how Good God is I’m not surprised!! CS1 made the Best Decision based on real life and not just football!! #WeAre🎉

I like how Coach Franklin was open about leveraging when his name is thrown in with other job openings. Everyone knows the answer, but usually coaches and administrators dance around it, never being forthright. I really appreciate that.

i cant believe how open he was

Adam, you are the man!! Love what you are doing. Coach Franklin is the perfect man for the job for Penn Staters like me. I appreciate our history, but Coach Franklin understands the future and we cant live in the past!!! #WeARE

Appreciate both of you. Coach - thanks for your honesty & openness. Adam - You're killing it as a podcast host. Great interviews with Hack, Drew & now Franklin. Cheers!

This was an amazing interview and podcast

thanks for always keeping it classy Adam !

Another great podcast, Adam. I’m starting to really look forward to seeing these.

Adam, you truly have something special going here with your pod. Excellent job - it’s rare to see James Franklin fully open up and express himself on camera but you were able to do it with ease. Keep it up the fans are loving your content!

Outstanding interview...Adam you have a real talent for asking the right questions.

Well said by Franklin!: ' If I can show them how much I truly care about them, then they will accept me for being demanding of them.' One of the most frustrating things I feel about college recruiting, is that some of these players feel like they're not going to make it to the next level, unless they go to Ohio St., Alabama, Georgia, etc. It can make it VERY difficult to traverse the recruiting field. It's already a PITA that some kids refuse to play in cold weather, or a small town. BUT, I still find Penn State has an advantage there, in that those recruits that do want to get away and focus on football, and they do have that self-belief that they don't need Ohio St., Georgia, etc. to make it to the next level; those recruits are going to find that PSU is just as good as those other schools at preparing you for the next level , and they really do want to take you to the next level in life itself. And once PSU can get a hold at being one of the top 5 programs ( I don't think I'm a homer because I believe that) , then they can put up a wall around the north east, because there is no other college program that comes close to the quality of PSU in that region If we can just finally break through, there is no reason we can't draw recruits like the best teams in College. I keep waiting for that day.. for it's been a long time coming.

Love this interview, Adam. Keep going, man. You're crushing the game.

Love these kind of videos. As a die hard Buckeye, I have always loved Penn State and their dedication to tradition which is what makes College football so special 🏈

Well done Coach and Adam! Thanks for sharing!

Adam, it takes A LOT for me to subscribe to a KZread channel, but I subscribed to yours! I know you’ve heard this a million times, but you have a real talent for this. Hopefully the success of this podcast is just the beginning for you. Can’t wait for you to take Coach up on his offer and set your show up at fall camp. Hope you can get Lavar on! (And many others)

Great job as always, Adam!

Great job, Adam. Excellent questions and interview flow. I'm a believer in Coach Franklin, and really love the way he represents and leads our program.

Great Podcast Adam! Love the work you are doing!

Great interview and podcast with Coach Franklin! Coach Franklin knows how to build relationships, which is the key to recruiting, player development, and building life-long connections that generate success in the NFL-Entertainer or other sectors of the economy. Franklin has Penn State going on the correct path!

Great interview. Love coach Franklin and the many things he’s brought to PSU. The future is bright.

Love coach Franklin.. at the same time, I would love to get to a place where people associated the program will say Coach Paterno's name rather than the guy who was at Penn State for 50 years.. he's meant so much to the university and the reason that the head coaching position in Happy Valley was a coveted role

honesty in a head coach ? i would’ve committed asap

Adam, you are spot on! The job JF has done is best in the country over the past 10 yrs. Period. So many PSU fans have ZERO perspective and understanding.

I absolutely agree with you!!! I love our amazing proud tradition, but look at what he has done, with the sanctions he was left with!!!! James Franklin is in his early 50's and has already got 100 wins plus, between Vanderbilt and Penn State!!! Also, everyone will always compare to him to a legend like Joe Pa, which is unfair!!! I always said, guys like Joe Pa, Bear Bryant, Tom Osborne, Bobby Bowden, and so on, are legends for a reason, because they don't grow on trees people!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE proud fans, of a blue blood program, literally!!!! But, he has kept this thing afloat during dark times, and he working his ass off, recruiting and building the brand back!!! I understand, we are frustrated sometimes, but Rome wasn't built in a day!!!! Trust me, when he turns the corner, he will have a sustainable power program for years!!!!!!!!! WE ARE

Franklin and his offensive schemes really annoyed me in the Clifford era… that being said I think he is an amazing recruiter and seems like a class act. I am hoping that since we now have a pocket passer, the offensive strategy can re-strategize away from the last three years. I am happy Franklin is our guy now! I was one of those guys who thought that we wouldn’t beat temple for 10 years after the scandal… it’s crazy how far we came since

As a fan, I'll be leading the charge to freeze out any fan that's been screaming for JFs job when we win big. Don't be ignorant enough to yell for his job and then think you can change your tune when it's turned around.

Franklin is the opposite of Paterno not everything is winning

As many great players you get you should have won multiple championships by now same with Ohio state and Michigan maybe not as good coaching as you think

Getting smashed from all angles on commercials .

Coach Franklin pretty much guarantees at least one loss each year based on lousy calls, poor clock management or just peeing the bed.
