Franklin leaves Vanderbilt for Penn State. Not sure I understand this.

If Vandy did offer $5 million a year, it isn't a money move.

If you are in a profession, you want to be at the pinnacle of that profession. As good as Franklin was, it was still Vanderbilt.

Penn State is one of the destination jobs in football. A place where a coach has a chance to build a team to win a conference title, get to the playoffs.

So...Penn State reportedly is paying Franklin more then Urban Myer is making....an investment for sure for a coach with Franklin's background.

He better pay homage to the Jopa faithful or they will run him out of town.
