Franklin joined Penn State in 2014, finished tied for second with 104 wins all-time in his post. Three straight losses, including back-to-back to UCLA and Northwestern as more than 20-point favorites, forced Penn State’s hand to make the move.
Matt Rhule addressed Penn State's head coach opening at his weekly press conference on Oct. 13. Here's what he said.
Parsons was a 2019 consensus All-American under Franklin's tutelage and shined with the Nittany Lions as an eventual first-round NFL Draft pick. He played two seasons at Penn State and excelled in his lone year as a starter in helping the program reach 11 wins.
After firing James Franklin, Penn State is eyeing Curt Cignetti and Matt Rhule as the top candidates to lead the program into a new era.
