Another shower incident???Penn State fires coach Franklin after 12 seasons
It's wild how fast the wheels fell off. From a preseason Natty contender to the unemployment in less than two months.
I wonder what was going on behind the scenes because that is a huge buyout? I also wonder where he goes next?
Cignetti is a Pennsylvania native who spent many years at Pitt. Would be a great move
Coach Cig at least talks that he is very loyal to IU. Says that one of his dreams was to always coach in the B1G and that Indiana made that happen.I didn’t realize this but he’s 65. He doesn’t look it but seems like he’s been firm in his stance that Indiana was the one that gave him a chance so he has loyalty to them bigly. And given what he’s done there, you only gotta get Mark Cuban to spend to keep him there.

So I’m with you there. But just the sound of Franklin yesterday, he seemed done.Coach Cig at least talks that he is very loyal to IU. Says that one of his dreams was to always coach in the B1G and that Indiana made that happen.
Point 2 - Cig has ALL of IU believing they can win titles. They have sold out Memorial Stadium for every game this year...that hasn't happened since Lee Corso roamed the sidelines!!! The AD and boosters will do what it takes to keep him in Bloomington.
To me, you don't fire a guy mid-season at this level with that kind of record unless you already have a guy in mind or been talking.
Look for a high profile HC or top tier coordinator to be hired.
