Great podcast! Awesome to see a Penn State guy come in and let us fans get a deep dive into players and coaches…..keep it going man. 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🎉
That script sweatshirt that coach is wearing though is sweet
Adam, it takes A LOT for me to subscribe to a YouTube 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)
Awesome pod Adam!!
Great Podcast Adam! Love the work you are doing!
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
This was an amazing interview and podcast
who was the recruit he lost to the single dorm issue he mentioned at 37:15 ?
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!
who knew Justin Fields wanted his own room….
Love this interview, Adam. Keep going, man. You're crushing the game.
You should do dan Lanning
Great interview
Little sad couch could not even mention Paterno by name. Referring to the past and not saying the man’s name is a bit soft. I am sure the university doesn’t want the name said. It would go a long way in getting NIL $$$ from some of the older 750,000 living alumni to acknowledge the past legend.
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.
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 like to believe that Joe PA would have definitely approved Coach James Franklin as his replacement. Now if JF can get over the beating UM and Ohio St. in the same season hump. No telling how far he can take the Penn St Football program!
He's very relatable, personable and articulate. It's easy to see him connect well with recruits, players, boosters and school administration.
He's good at speaking.
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!
honesty in a head coach ? i would’ve committed asap
I think this is one of your best podcast. Very good.
Another great podcast, Adam. I’m starting to really look forward to seeing these.
This was phenomenal. You really have no idea the shit show James came in to and had to over come. Really a good guy who is far more special than we may give him credit for. We are!
Penn State is trash and Franklin is a trash coach. Does less with more
Great pod! Got emotional and teared up a bit, thank you!
great interview. We Are!
Franklin TRUELY cares about his players.
Need ALL of Nitt nation to help the program build NIL. Need Elite players.
Great job Adam!!
Getting smashed from all angles on commercials .
He's not the best, and he's not the worst. But, if he can't do it over the next two years, it's not getting done.
Adam does great interviews. Must ask what the fan base want to hear.
Let’s ALL donate to NIL. To happy Valley United….Especially alumni and fan’s. If not don’t complain about not beating the 2 better team’s on our schedule. Players win National Championship’s.
Great interview Adam! We Are! One thing though, you don't have PSU in your top five tailgating locations? We're you sleeping on the team bus to the stadium? C'mon man!
Coach Franklin pretty much guarantees at least one loss each year based on lousy calls, poor clock management or just peeing the bed.
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.
Remember the 1948 Cotton bowl we are Penn State me letterman PSU Tracks, Basketball 1969-71 WE ARE the rest of you are RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
