## Resource

It's Penn State's second bye week, so we decided to do something a little different and get a national perspective on [gestures at everything that has happened since the Nittany Lions fired James Franklin] . On today's episode, Bill sat down with Chris Vannini of The Athletic to discuss the decision to fire Franklin, where Chris believes the Penn State job sits in the college football hierarchy, and who Pat Kraft should target as he tries to identify the next coach of the Nittany Lions.
