James Franklin the Favorite to Be Next Head Coach at Unexpected College Football Program

Penn State head coach James Franklin is reportedly being considered for coaching positions at Virginia Tech and Arkansas. Franklin, who has been with Penn State since 2014, has been successful in revitalizing the program, leading the Nittany Lions to multiple bowl games and a Big Ten Championship in 2016. His potential candidacy at Virginia Tech and Arkansas comes amid speculation about coaching changes at both schools due to underperformance. Virginia Tech is evaluating its options after several lackluster seasons, while Arkansas is seeking to improve its competitiveness in the SEC. Franklin's proven track record and experience make him a significant contender for these positions, which could lead to major shifts in the college football coaching landscape.
