The ESPN report said Franklin's new contract reduced Penn State's buyout obligation from $49 million to $9 million. They need to send a really nice gift basket to Blacksburg.Comment

That's about as good of a hire as they could have made imo. Franklin was the best coach without a job and a top 5 coach the past 3 years. He went 34-8/22-5 in a top 2 conference the past 3 seasons. He also has really good recruiting ties to the DC area from his time at Maryland and VaTech recently pledged to put a lot more money into their athletic department.
If he stays there, I think they are a top 20 team sooner rather than later.👍 2Comment
