They are calling for James Franklin’s head at Penn State.

Consistently losing games to Top 10 teams at home and on the road is one thing, but Franklin’s Penn State teams rarely lost games where they were big favorites.

As 25.5 point favorites and ranked in the top 10, they are the first team to lose to an 0-4 team in that situation in over 40 years.

One major problem…He has a $50 million dollar buyout on a contract that lasts through the end of 2031.

“Anything is possible” according to Kevin Garnett’s guttural scream after the Celtics won the 2008 NBA title, so maybe there’s a way to move on from James Franklin.

The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have created lines for the next Penn State head coach in college football as well as updated lines for the next head coach fired.
