ESPN also reported that Cam Newton is a thug.

I'll believe it when it's official.  Players and our ballin' ass AD are saying that he's still thinking it over.  He may very well leave, but the ejaculate is too early at this point.

This part could be whats taking so long:

But the way the contract is written the turf on the football field that was put down two years ago and the new 31 million dollar indoor practice facility is tied to Coach Franklin and his contract. And if he leaves whichever school wants our coach has to pay off the upgrades that Franklin asked for and received.

Penn St has been throwing around a lot of money lately.

James Franklin is going to Notre Dame?

Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has agreed to terms with Penn State to become the school’s head football coach.
 
*FOX Sports update: The contract of an unnamed coach, "likely will be approved during a special meeting Saturday," the Centre Daily Times reports citing a university source.
 
Over three seasons coaching the Commodores, Franklin, 41, compiled a 24-15 overall record and went 11-13 in the SEC. He also led the program to three consecutive bowl appearances, winning two of those games. Prior to his arrival in Nashville from the University of Maryland, the program suffered a 4-20 record and recorded only one win in the Southeastern Conference over two seasons.
 
Franklin’s coaching future was a hot topic before he agreed to coach the Nittany Lions. He reportedly interviewed with Texas and the Houston Texans of the National Football League, though the former has since brought on ex- Louisville coach Charlie Strong, while the Texans have signed former Penn State coach Bill O’Brien. Franklin reportedly received interest from the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins as well.
 
While the Commodores’ 9-4 record this past season marked the first time in program history the program posted back-to-back nine-win campaigns, Franklin has also been credited as a guiding force behind the success of senior WR Jordan Matthews, the SEC’s all-time leader for receptions and yards.
 
Franklin will replace former head coach Bill O’Brien, who held the job for two years.

Also, UAB now has to enter the coaching search as their HC went to Louisville to be Bobby P's OC.  UAB needs to drop down a division in foosball, cause that program is a dumpster fire.

Still speculation.

Don't get me wrong...I know that Penn State will be holding a conference on Saturday to announce something "big," and I know that Franklin is #1 for the job and has a strong likelihood of going.  But nothing has been announced officially.  The news outlets you're referencing were reporting that he agreed to take the job before anything was known.  And even after James Franklin was quoted as saying that he "could do either" and was still thinking it over, those same outlets were still reporting that he had accepted the job.  Unless they've hired Professor X to read Franklin's mind and know what he's thinking despite what he's saying, then it's speculation.

When it comes out of David Williams' big burly mouth (who is meeting with Franklin and a big name donor today, BTW), I'll concede it.  Until then,  .  Or Anchor Down...whatever.

I'm just trying to find something to keep this board going.  You know it kinda dies off after the season.

But EPSN done said it's a done deal...

James Franklin is expected to receive a contract from Penn State worth up to $4.5 million a year, according to a source, making him the Big Ten's second-highest-paid coach behind Ohio State's Urban Meyer.

Former coach Bill O'Brien made $3.82 million a year while Franklin reportedly made about $3 million a year at Vanderbilt.
 
Penn State has scheduled a news conference for 4:15 p.m. ET Saturday to make a "major announcement."
 
The Penn State compensation committee is scheduled to meet in a closed session at 8:30 a.m. ET Saturday to discuss a "matter of compensation," school spokeswoman Lisa Powers said. Sources told ESPN that meeting is about Franklin, who spent the past three seasons at Vanderbilt.
 
Powers said that following the meeting a brief public session would be held. The committee members are chairwoman Linda B. Strumpf, Kathleen L. Casey, Mark H. Dambly, Karen B. Peetz and Paul H. Silvis.
 
A source told ESPN on Thursday that Franklin would not officially accept the Penn State job until the contract was approved Saturday.
