Penn State Fires Head Coach James Franklin After 10.5 Seasons
Penn State fired head coach James Franklin on Sunday after 10.5 seasons at the helm. Franklin had a 104-45 record for the university. Penn State is off to a dismal 3-3 start in 2025. Ranked No. 2 in most preseason polls, the Nittany Lions were expected to contend for a national championship. That dream took a hit after a double-overtime loss to Oregon at home in Week 5. Penn State suffered losses to winless UCLA in Week 6 and Northwestern in Week 7. This is the first time in college football history that a team has lost back-to-back games when favored by more than 20 points. The university bought out the remainder of Franklin's contract at an estimated $48.8 million. Cornerbacks coach Terry Smith will be the interim coach for the rest of the 2025 season.
