At Penn State, sources tell us that PSU plans to offer their head coaching position to James Franklin

Have every reason to believe the offer from PSU will be one that Franklin will accept
Yeah, well, a lot of those sure thing sources previously indicated that Al had been offered, he'd accepted and it was a done deal. Problem was, if true, that's why Golden's initial plan to hold off until Monday and blow off the question of PSU fell apart.
Sounds like Shalala ripped him a new sphincter to make a statement on Sunday, since previously, he was not answering his phone.
One PSU source was reported to be close to a BOT member, who said Golden was a done deal. To admit publicly that the first interviewee was offered and accepted would not meet the sniff test of due diligence. So Sunday, and Monday, and since, there's adequate reason to believe there has been some misdirection.
I still think Golden is gone - because while a lot of folks think Shalala doesn't give one **** about Miami football, that's not exactly true, entirely due to major boosters who are fed up with the "trending."
Rumors of lawyers being brought in, and one ****ed off Administration - well - I can see how Golden wasn't happy Monday. Even if he truly turns down PSU, which I don't believe he'd so, he may be fired this year, or certainly next. That's why he sees no reason to change his staff or scheme.
