James Franklin led Penn State to a 13-3 mark and a College Football Playoff semifinal appearance in 2024.
Just over nine months later, he is out as the program’s head coach, with the Nittany Lions 3-3 and in the midst of a three-game losing skid that has erased any hopes of a return to the Playoff.
Franklin certainly enjoyed success during his time in Happy Valley: he was tied for second in program history with 104 wins. And the Nittany Lions were considered among the teams that could challenge for the national championship in 2025. But his record against top teams was concerning: 15-30 against Top 25 teams and just 4-21 against the Top 10 after a double-overtime loss to Oregon.
What is James Franklin’s buyout at Penn State?
