The freedom to be realistic

Co-hosts Donnie Collins and Sam Fremin of The Times-Tribune in Scranton wind down the second season of the Penn Stated podcast with a look ahead to training camp opening in a month.
But, they also celebrate Independence Day with an honest look at the realities the program and its head coach are facing.
In the opening segment, the hosts discuss the stories they're looking at closest as camp approaches, with each picking one of the new coordinators. They wind down with a look at the role coaching plays at Penn State, why it's so important and how difficult James Franklin's job realistically is to do, with the expectations on him and the team to make the inaugural 12-team playoff this winter.
