The James Franklin era at Penn State came to an end Sunday with the school firing the head coach who had them one win away from an appearance in the national championship game earlier this year.
Franklin had a ton of success with the Nittany Lions since he was named head coach back in 2014. But after a third straight loss on Saturday, the program is moving on while also having to pay its former coach almost $50 million in a buyout that Franklin will probably enjoy collecting.
