[Xavier Breath]

Penn State has fired head coach James Franklin after 12 seasons, the school announced on Sunday.

Franklin is owed more than $49 million, per his contract. It's the second-biggest buyout in college football history behind only Jimbo Fisher's $76 million buyout from Texas A&M.

Damn, nice work if you can get it.
