When did Penn State Nittany Lions fans’ patience start to run thin for James Franklin ? When they took an L at the hands of Dan Lanning’s Oregon, 24-30. The Beaver Stadium had set an attendance record of 111,015, with fans even paying as high as $412. As mid-game Ross Dellenger tweeted, “On fourth-and-1, with a chance to take a two-score lead with a field goal from the 9-yard line, Dan Lanning goes for it. Touchdown run right up the gut. Oregon 17, Penn State 3. The “fire Franklin” chants erupt from the student section.” Fans still would have given Franklin a chance, but they faced another defeat by UCLA (42-37). As the head coach might be losing his sleep about Penn State pulling the trigger, a FOX analyst shared his take on Franklin’s future.

That’s none other than Joel Klatt.
