James Franklin's staff features three new coordinators this season, but as the Nittany Lions get set to kick off the season against West Virginia, the same goal remains — get over the hump and into the CFP.
It was a response to the first question during James Franklin's news conference earlier this week in which the Penn State head coach indirectly referenced the breadth of challenges facing his program in 2024, a season that will feature three new coordinators and the vacancies left by eight primary contributors selected in this spring's NFL Draft, four of whom were taken in the first three rounds. Gone, too, are the five wide receivers who entered the transfer portal, headlined by No.
'We are one of the few programs in the country where you can win 10 or 11 games and people are unhappy,' Franklin said at Big Ten Media Days in late July. 'So we embrace that, and we're excited about those opportunities, and it starts for us at West Virginia in Morgantown.' The changes to Franklin's coaching staff and roster are, in many ways, direct reflections of the program's on-field strengths and weaknesses the last few seasons.
