Penn State officials have begun internally preparing for Texas A&M to pursue head football coach James Franklin if Kevin Sumlin departs the university after this season.
CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd reported the news.
Franklin, 45, is 31-15 in three-plus seasons with the Nittany Lions. He's led a resurgence over the last two years, winning the Big Ten championship last season and currently has the Lions ranked No. 3 after a 6-0 start.
