After Penn State’s loss to Illinois and ahead of the Ohio State game this Saturday, James Franklin had some weird comments during his presser:
James Franklin said Illinois twice when he meant Ohio State. He also said “The Big House” instead of “The Shoe.” Kinda weird to hear those slips over and over again. https://t.co/lvAgoD3t9H

Is Franklin committed to being Penn State's coach beyond 2021?
"My focus is completely on Illinois, and this team, and this program. I think I've shown over my eight years my commitment to this university and this community. And that's kind of my statement."

Franklin also recently hired a new agent, who represents almost every SEC coach:
To be fair, he and his new agent Jimmy Sexton have a side operation going. https://t.co/ncC1tbohaj
