Former Penn State Nittany Lions football coach James Franklin is one of the hottest candidates on the unemployment line after receiving his pink slip last week in State College, PA. Franklin got lip service on ESPN's College GameDay from Nick Saban on Saturday, who claimed it was "unfair as hell" that he was fired from PSU. Overnight, Franklin's value has been rebuilt after his Nittany Lions essentially quit on him against the UCLA Bruins and Northwestern Wildcats.
Bama Hammer's Ronald Evans believes Franklin's value is too high to even consider the Auburn Tigers' job if the athletic department fires Hugh Freeze.
