Penn State officials are preparing for Texas A&M to make a run at hiring James Franklin should Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies part ways, CBS Sports has learned.

Franklin's head-coaching profile has steadily improved since leaving Maryland for Vanderbilt in 2011. Since that time, he has won nine games twice at Vandy before capturing the Big Ten title and leading the Nittany Lions to the Rose Bowl last season.

Penn State should offer him as many little boys as he needs to convince him to stay

I don't see it. Ideally you would hire a coach with an area of expertise. Wilson is like O in that he doesn't have any x and o expertise and his biggest strength is recruiting. a&m has biiiiig pocket books they wouldn't have to settle.

A&M gonna have to pony up big. Franklin makes way more per year at PSU right now than what Sumlin makes

Sumlin average $5 million, Franklin's extension is for like $6.5 annual

This must be over a week old.

They only lost to bama by 8 so Sumlins a great coach now and they wont lose another game.

You might want to do a bit more research before saying Wilson doesn't have any X's and O's experience.

With that being said, his name will be floated around during this coaching carousel. Eventually he'll land an Power 5 job.

Sounds like the school is going to give Franklin an extension with a financially irresponsible bloated buyout.
