In today's environment of multi million dollar paid coaches this needs to happen more often. It appears that by the coaches being fired it has caught on.

Just 3 weeks ago they were the number 2 ranked team in the nation. 😳

IIRC didn't they make it to the semi finals of the playoffs not to many months ago?

The coaching carousel this winter should be one for the books. Just in the SEC, Arkansas is already open. UF and Auburn probably will be soon. UK will be if they can scrape together enough cash for Stoops' buyout. If OU and LSU close the season the way I expect, they could make a move too. And Clark Lea is being mentioned as a candidate for every job out there, so Vandy might come open if he makes a move. And that's just one conference- the B10 is in a similar situation. And all those schools' current players and recruits will probably be looking around, too.

That plus Franklin went 11-2, 10-3, 13-3 in the past 3 seasons.  Now he's fired.

Clark Lea to Penn St....Franklin back to Vandy.  

And...I bet Arkansas has already contacted his agent.

Apparently, losing to Nico was one toke over the line

With the win over PSU, UCLA interim head coach Tim Skipper tied the total number of wins over top ten ranked BIG 10 teams that Franklin had his entire career at Penn State (1). Now, though, that UCLA win doesn't look nearly as impressive. 😂
