Could James Franklin really return to the SEC? After being fired from Penn State, rumors are swirling about Franklin landing at Auburn, Florida, or Virginia Tech. Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions joins Zac Blackerby of Locked On Auburn to break down Franklin’s coaching stock, how he’d fit in the SEC, and whether Auburn fans should be excited — or concerned. They also compare Franklin’s résumé to other top candidates like Jon Sumrall, Kenny Dillingham, and D.J. Durkin.Become an every-dayer!
