That said, I don't think it's a coincidence that Nebraska has been a dumpster fire of a program since then, often going head-to-head with UJoisey as the worst team in the B1G.
Even if Gary Patterson is serious about pursuing one more head coaching gig (I doubt that he is, to be honest), why would he want to go to Lincoln and deal with that nonsense?

I went to grad school at Northwestern (speaking of bad seasons), and we had the misfortune to play Tennessee in a bowl game. Worst fan base online I've ever seen, and that's saying something. I was glad to see them lose for several seasons after that and look forward to the day when they start losing again.

And, what Tennessee has done, will only give many the illusion. The Vols were dumpster fire a couple years ago.
What a profession. You're fired. Here's $17m. Go away.

Ohio State was below Penn State until they hired Tressel.
Every fan base thinks they're one hire away from supremacy.

Penn State hasn't always been right behind Ohio State. Michigan once beat them them nine times in a row before the Wolverines made the mistake of hiring Rich Rodriguez after Carr. Harbaugh now has gotten Michigan back to their former level, and PSU fans are probably going to have to get used to it.

I don't know if Penn State can do much better than what they've got. Do their big money boosters feel that way? Who knows. If Michigan cut Harbaugh loose a few years ago when many felt it was warranted, they wouldn't be where they are now. I'm not saying it translates to keeping Franklin, but if not for the rise of Michigan, Penn State would probably be where it always is: right behind Ohio State. It all doesn't matter until they can somehow overcome Ohio State. Its been a while since Penn State had a fully great season - 2005? I just don't know how much better they can get. At some point these schools need to be content with being above average and hoping for a year where they have 1 or 2 losses instead of 3 or 4. They're gonna have to once all the P5 schools stop playing FCS games.
Its basically the same situation for Pitt.
