Penn State's firing of James Franklin will be remembered for years, with a near-$50 million buyout, the second largest on record.
Franklin's record included a 1-18 mark against Big Ten top-10 teams and consecutive losses to UCLA and Northwestern as 20-plus point favorites.

Penn State is now looking for a new head coach, following Franklin's departure.
