James “not elite” Franklin (HC Penn St. Nittany Lions)

Guess there isn't going to be any fallout for one of his players suing the university for "violent sexual hazing." Can only imagine what would have happened if that took place under an Urban Meyer Ohio State team
He had some skeletons in the closet at Vandy, too. Difference is, James Franklin doesn't generate clicks, so this new story disappeared after a couple of days.

The Monday firing of USC head coach Clay Helton has quickly thrown multiple names into the mix as the possible replacement coach for the Trojans. One of those names is Penn State head coach James Franklin, who has chosen to not confirm or deny any interest in the USC job as of now. Meeting with the media on Wednesday evening, Franklin explained why he has chosen to take that route.

“I’ve found and tracked this over time, that really no matter what you say, people aren’t happy with,” Franklin said. “So, I’ve decided I’m going to handle this internally and talk to our team. It happens every single year. I’m not worried about distractions in the media and with the fans, I’m worried about my team. I talked to my staff about it, I talked to my players about it, the leadership council in detail, but I think that’s the best approach.”

In other words, he'd crawl a mile over broken glass and razor blades to get the job.
