The college football coaching carousel continues to turn as the season hits the middle of November. In a massive move that took the 2025 coaching carousel to new heights, Penn State made the move to fire James Franklin on October 12. Franklin was in his 12th season in Happy Valley and entered the 2025 season with a loaded roster that had National Championship aspirations.
But after suffering an overtime loss to Oregon at Beaver Stadium on September 27, the Nittany Lions would then fall to UCLA and Northwestern in a pair of shocking upsets that proved to be too detrimental to keep Franklin any longer.
