Penn State has offered Vanderbilt's James Franklin the head coaching position and he is expected to accept it, according to a report from CBS's Bruce Feldman.
Penn State's head coaching search was over. And then it wasn't. And then it was again -- maybe. That's about how this week is going. Let me explain.
Penn State receiver and State College native Alex Kenney knew that he wasn't returning to the football team in 2014, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to hit the gridiron again.

With rumors swirling and fans anxious for a new Penn State head football coach, Athletic Director Dave Joyner reaffirmed his previous commitment to an expeditious search today in a statement.
