With James Franklin officially out in Happy Valley, the search for Penn State's next head coach begins now. The Nittany Lions are obviously a great and historic program, even if they may not be in that upper,

Don’t expect Nick Saban to return to coaching college football anytime soon, but that shouldn’t stop Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft from reaching out to the legendary former Alabama coach about the vacant job with the Nittany Lions,

Nick Saban ’s name is synonymous with college football excellence. Over a storied career spanning more than two decades as a head coach, he built dynasties at Louisiana State University and the University of Alabama, capturing seven national championships and compiling one of the highest winning percentages in the sport’s history.

Legendary college football coach Nick Saban said that NIL has hurt the SEC while giving an advantage to schools up North during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

And of the 49 outgoing transfers who left prior to Belichick's first game, several are key players elsewhere including defensive end Beau Atkinson ( Ohio State ), defensive tackle Travis Shaw ( Texas) and linebacker Amare Campbell ( Penn State ).

Saban had two stints as a coach at Michigan State. He was the team’s defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach from 1983 to 87. He came back as the Spartans’ head coach from 1995 to 99. As the head coach, Saban went 34-24-1 with a 0-3 record in bowl games before heading to LSU in 2000.

A couple of trends are worth noting as Tennessee football carries a 10-game losing streak in Tuscaloosa to the Alabama game.
