It was a rough Saturday for the Penn State football team, and their head coach, James Franklin, who watched Ohio State enter their house and control the line scrimmage and most of the game.

Penn State lost to the Buckeyes 20-13, giving Franklin a 1-10 record against the program. Many Penn State fans are calling for his job.

Under Franklin, the Nittany Lions have been unable to beat the best teams in the country, and Penn State fans are sick of being on the other side of the Top Five games every year.

When Franklin was walking off the field yesterday at the end of the game, fans were shouting right at him for him to be fired, and a new poll shows that Penn State fans want him gone immediately.

Penn State Fans Vote If They Want To Keep Franklin

FanDuel posted a poll on social media asking, ” Should Penn State move on from James Franklin?” The two options were “like” for yes and “retweet” for no, and there were 2.8k likes to only 168 retweets, so fans want him gone.

Penn State fans are going to be hit with the reality soon that Franklin isn’t going to get fired because there is a great chance they will end up 11-1 and make the playoffs, and no coach is getting fired if they win double-digit games and have a shot at playing for the title.

    If Penn State was ever so bad and they went 1-11, I’d want the one win to be agains’t Ohio State! They never seem to come play against this team! It’s almost like they’re afraid of high ranked teams! You can’t keep running up the middle for the entire game when you weren’t able to penetrate it the whole game! Especially when you’re in the Red Zone!! Defense was also giving up too many big plays. Also, Coach Franklin shouldn’t engage with the fans! He looked really stupid arguing with the kid that was frustrated over the play calling. He should have just waved and kept walking.
