Many Penn State fans are ready to move on from James Franklin, but do any other these possible names sound enticing as replacements?
James Franklin can’t win the big ones. His 4-21 record against Top 10 opponents across his tenure at Penn State proves that. But on Saturday in Week 6, he couldn’t win the small one, falling to 0-4 UCLA as a three-touchdown road favorite in the Rose Bowl.
Penn State was the first AP Top 10 team to lose to an 0-4 opponent since 1985, and it was one that hadn’t led a game at any point yet this season, had already fired its head coach, and had a first-time offensive play-caller.
