James Franklin was fired on Sunday by Penn State, but if he wants another job quickly, it’s doubtful he’ll have problems finding one.
Franklin did wonders at Vanderbilt for three years before taking over a Penn State team in flux due to Bill O’Brien leaving for the NFL and the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
There will be suitors for Franklin’s program-building prowess, and the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag created lines for where he will coach next.
Arkansas, who spent big money on John Calipari, is the favorite to hire Franklin to replace Sam Pittman.
His old school, Vanderbilt, is second as Clark Lea is only 43 and a fast riser in the profession. Interestingly, the next two schools are back in the Big Ten (Nebraska and UCLA)
It would be fascinating if Matt Rhule (who is the favorite to replace James Franklin) goes to Happy Valley and Franklin takes his job at Nebraska.
Additionally, there are updated lines for the next coach fired.
Where will James Franklin coach next year?
