One day after a lackluster offensive performance against Michigan, James Franklin made the call to fire offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Yurcich. Now, Franklin will be tasked with hiring his sixth offensive coordinator of his Penn State tenure. What direction does he go in? Will he look to bring back someone he’s worked with before? Does he look for a more pass-happy spread attack? Does he look to the NFL ranks, shifting to more of a pro-style offense?
Regardless of the direction, we have a series of names that could be potential fits. Some are super obvious that you have likely seen listed elsewhere.
