PSU's Franklin not pleased with speculation about Miami vacancy

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — James Franklin said he’s not sure where the speculation is coming from, but he is not happy that his name has been floated as a possibility for the head coaching job at the University of Miami.

The Hurricanes are looking for a replacement to Al Golden, who was fired on Sunday. Franklin is in his second year with the Nittany Lions after serving as Vanderbilt’s head coach from 2011 to 2013. At his weekly news conference on Tuesday, Franklin said Penn State “is where I want to be.”

“I don’t like it,” Franklin said of the speculation.
