I heard no a radio show that Franklin will be grossing $22k a DAY for the

next 6 years....amazing. I am sure he is mentally drained from all of the pressures of winning and the rumors of his job security....but Penn State had to move on from Franklin and this buyout is a win-win for both sides....Franklin had an overall win % of 70%, but....was 6-6 in post season games, with just one Big Ten title, and one playoff appearance...he was a combined 4-17 vs. his biggest Big Ten foes (Ohio State and Michigan)....and that was a big problem. I am sure he now feels that he has the weight of the world off of his shoulders and he can recalibrate his life and pursue other worthwhile things. he has nothing to feel ashamed about; he "won" at Penn State, but not win at their standards.

HWA • 10/14/25 09:27 AM ET
"Diligently search" does not include a specific timeline. Franklin is not
