Penn State fans demand Matt Campbell’s job after another demoralizing loss

Penn State’s 31-23 home loss to USC on Saturday deepened frustration among fans, who took to social media to call for the dismissal of head coach Matt Campbell after another disappointing performance. The Nittany Lions fell to 3-3 on the season, with their struggles compounded by a 0-3 record in Big Ten play—a concerning trend given the program’s resources and talent.

Campbell, who took over from James Franklin, has yet to deliver a signature win, and criticism intensified following the loss, with fans questioning his ability to manage games and recruit effectively. The game also set a record for attendance at Beaver Stadium, drawing the fourth-largest crowd in college football history, yet Penn State failed to capitalize on the energetic home atmosphere.

Despite some supporters defending Campbell, the chorus for his removal grew louder, with comparisons to Franklin’s tenure and skepticism over his long-term viability at the helm. The team’s upcoming schedule remains challenging, but the pressure on Campbell to turn things around is mounting after another demoralizing defeat.
