James Franklin arguing with a fan after the Ohio State loss (again) was a terrible look

This is not a good look for James Franklin.

Penn State coach James Franklin got into a brief argument with a disgruntled Nittany Lions fan on Saturday.

After his team’s 20-13 loss to Ohio State on Saturday, Franklin got heckled as he was leaving the field. Rather than just ignore it, the coach decided to exchange words with the fan in particular.

StateCollege.com’s Seth Engle shared the terse encounter between Franklin and the fan. And this isn’t the first time he’s had a heated post-Ohio State game moment with fans.

“If you’re gonna be man enough to talk, what’s your name?” Franklin yelled at the fan before the latter walks away.

Losing is never fun, but a previously undefeated Penn State taking its first loss of the season at home against a rival like Ohio State is a tough look for Franklin. It’s one made even worse with unnecessary moments like this.

The jeers he got as he entered the home stadium’s tunnel confirmed that enough, recorded by The Athletic‘s Audrey Snyder.

College football can be quite sobering. How tough it must be that one loss can spark such antagonism from the home crowd.
