I'm hearing. In fact, I'd argue this is a 180 from the time Bill O'Brien was hired. Everyone I know is fired up and happy. Reading the local papers, the general consensus seemed to be that Franklin was the best available coach for the job. A lot of people speculated that he'd bypass PSU for the NFL. It seemed like he was 1-A and Al Golden 1-B. Then it was guys like Mike Munchak.

Folks have been buzzing about his press conference earlier today. Honestly, I'm not sure who you're talking to bc what you described is the complete opposite of what I'm hearing/reading.
