Description

On this episode, we react to the stunning decision by Penn State Nittany Lions football to fire James Franklin — a $49 million buyout shocker that shakes up the coaching carousel. I explain why the move had to happen but also why the next coach may not match Franklin’s success.

We break down the potential hires — from “safe” options like Matt Rhule and Matt Campbell to bold swings like Urban Meyer and Brian Hartline. Plus, why Luke Fickell could be the perfect fit but won’t get the look.

Then it’s a full Week 7 college football reaction:
