The Penn State Nittany Lions fired James Franklin as their head football coach on Saturday, satisfying a fanbase that was chanting "Fire Franklin" during games and forcing the administration's hand in State College, PA.
In the aftermath, several SEC head coaches are being linked to the job. ESPN's Dan Orlovsky named the Texas A&M Aggies' Mike Elko, Ole Miss Rebels' Lane Kiffin, and Vanderbilt Commodores' Clark Lea, along with the Indiana Hoosiers' Curt Cignetti, as coaches the Nittany Lions should reach out to.
Elko just took the TAMU job and should have plenty of donor support indefinitely in the NIL era.
