The yearly coaching carousel is always one of the more interesting parts of the college football season. But this season has taken it to a whole new level.
After spending over a decade in Happy Valley, Penn State officially cut ties with head coach James Franklin on Sunday. As the coach of the Nittany Lions, he compiled a 104-45 record, leading them to six double-digit winning seasons. That includes three prior to his firing in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Last season, Franklin even brought Penn State to the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs in its first year of existence.
