Penn State Fires James Franklin: Where Could He Go Next? + Carolina Panthers Defeat Dallas Cowboys

Pam, Hump and Alex discuss where James Franklin could go next after being fired and the Panthers win over the Cowboys.

The Carolina Panthers pulled off a thrilling 30-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. Running back Rico Dowdle, facing his former team, was the star of the game with a franchise-record 239 scrimmage yards, rushing for 183 and adding 56 receiving yards with a touchdown. Quarterback Bryce Young was efficient, throwing for 199 yards and three touchdowns while leading a clutch fourth-quarter drive that sealed the game. Dallas had strong moments, particularly from quarterback Dak Prescott, who threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns without turning the ball over. Receiver George Pickens was a standout as well, catching 9 passes for 168 yards and a score. However, the Cowboys’ inability to stop the run cost them the game. The win lifts Carolina to 3-3 on the season and keeps them unbeaten at home, while Dallas is left to regroup after another tough road loss. Can Carolina build on this win?

James Franklin was fired as head coach of Penn State over the weekend following the team’s third consecutive loss. Despite compiling a strong overall record of 104-45 during his tenure and leading the Nittany Lions to a recent College Football Playoff appearance, the program's continued struggles this season ultimately led to his dismissal. What does this mean for Penn State and James Franklin?
