Cignetti has more wins against top 5 opponents this year than Franklin did during his entire tenure at Penn State.  
 

Also, hiring Cignetti, 64 year old, is a very temporary solution to what ails the fans in Happy Valley, and they probably deserve what they get by bringing in a man who will be eligible for social security to run their program. 
 

My bet would be making a run at Elko. 

Cignetti is 64? Damn he doesn't look it. Also Elko leaving aggies right when it looks like he's got them going would be hilarious

Wait, what? I didn't think they'd rush to fire him like this. Craziness.

Wow Very interesting to fire him mid season. This season has been terrible for them but he’s better than a lot of coaches currently coaching like Mark Stoops or Venables. Could he return to the SEC?

Half of his seasons there were 10 or more W seasons. I think if you fire a coach like Franklin you better be sure the next guy you’re getting is an improvement.

I think it's underperforming when they returned a lot from last years team and guys even came back for this year specifically. But I do agree with what you're saying.

Believe or not, there is talk about Elko from A&M. That could be trying to sucker A&M into another Jimbo type deal, so who really knows lol.

Coach Cignetti….Penn State on line 1 for you. 
 

PSU should back up the brinks truck for him. 
 

give me Kemon Spell from their recruiting class

Texas hasn't even offered Spell, what makes you think he would even choose Texas?

Matt Rhule is the top candidate for Penn State; an alum, former player, has a relationship with the current AD, and gets the most out of less.  Also done well as a college head coach at each stop, not looking at what he did with the Carolina Panthers.

Firing James Franklin, who couldn’t win the big game, for Matt Rhule, who is 0-18 against ranked opponents at Baylor and Nebraska, would be a tough sell if I was a Penn State fan.

They have a tough schedule but I don't see him getting fired if he can get 8 wins, imo.
