AD Pat Kraft Outlines Penn State Coaching Search
Penn State's firing of James Franklin is a notable move in college football, with a near-$50 million buyout, the second largest on record.
Franklin's departure comes after a series of losses, including to UCLA and Northwestern, making the Nittany Lions the first team to lose consecutive games as 20-plus point favorites in a generation.
His record against Big Ten top-10 teams was 1-18.
"This was not a 3-game thing,"said AD Pat Kraft, outlining the reasons behind the coaching change.
- Penn State is looking for a new head coach.
- The coaching search follows a record-fast fall from near-peak to valley for the team.
