Penn State and its next coach search dominates queries here at Gambling911.com over the last 24 hours following the firing of James Franklin, a move that had Nittany Lions fans celebrating.

Six of the top ten search queries coming into the Gambling911.com website pertained to Penn State's coaching situation.

Terry Smith will serve as the interim head coach for the rest of the season for the Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten), who began the year with hopes of winning the national title only to have those hopes evaporate by early October with three consecutive losses, each one more stinging than the last.

Penn State not likely to name a new head coach the remainder of the season provides ample opportunity to place those bets on who will be named their next head coach. 

Odds for Smith were not even available ahead of the Franklin firing. Matt Rhule came in as the favorite at 2/1 odds

The Cowboys-Panthers and Lions-Chiefs games witnessed the most search queries, but we were a bit surprised to see the 49ers-Bucs game driving search traffic as well. 4459 impressions were observed over the last 24 hours for this game. It was not one of the more heavily wagered on early in the day at either BetOnline or Kalshi.

2265 impressions were observed for this story over the last 24 hours. 

Another 857 impressions were registered for a lead up story pertaining to the anticipated ban.
