We’re not entirely sure how to introduce this, so let’s cut right to the chase.

Here’s Penn State football coach James Franklin dressed as the Easter Bunny, leveling a pinata with a full-body flying tackle, as shared by the team’s director of player development PJ Mullen.

Our head Coach is also an oversized flying bunny… How about yours? Confirmed: this is James Franklin #PSUnrivaled pic.twitter.com/DuRpfToueG

I have a lot of questions and no answers. Why is James Franklin attacking a pinata? Why is James Franklin dressed as an Easter Bunny? Does it really matter, and can’t we just enjoy this brilliant piece of cinema for what it is?

Maybe he was pretending the pinata was the man he once called “Nicky Satan.” That’s plausible, right?
