Part 8/11:
If change is on the horizon, who might fill Franklin’s shoes? The options include both seasoned names and rising stars, with some emphasizing a need to approach differently than past hires.
Traditional Candidates:
Curt Signetti: Despite being a dark horse, some see him as a plausible candidate, focusing on immediate results rather than long rebuilds.
Al Golden or Matt Rule: These experienced coaches bring track records of winning, but might not completely align with Penn State’s culture.
Rising Stars and Dark Horses:
- Will Stein: Currently Oregon’s offensive coordinator, Stein has shown remarkable talent working with quarterbacks like Dylan Gabriel and Dante Moore. His innovative offensive mind and success in the transfer portal make him a compelling candidate.
