Penn State fires football coach James Franklin


Penn State has fired head coach James Franklin after a 22-21 loss to Northwestern, the third loss in a row for the Nittany Lions. He went 104-45 in his 11-plus years leading the program, but he fell well short of expectations this season. Despite being voted the nation’s No. 2 team in the preseason AP top 25, the Nittany Lions currently stand at 3-3. (Centre Daily Times)
