I'm wondering if Penn State is regreting their decision to fire Franklin? ****

Yes! And because they hired Campbell late (12/5), they had ~1 month to work the portal. I would expect them to rebound in the coming years because they're Penn State and they have money & pedigree. The issue they'll run into is that there's now more parity among college football's elite teams and there are other (traditionally mid/lower-tier) teams willing to stroke big checks to become overnight contenders.
Long story short: I don't think Franklin was ever going to get them "there," but I also don't think there's another coach who will either. They're the Big 10's Notre Dame.

The firing is not the problem. Pennsylvania State was being turned down on who they wanted as the next coach and had to settle with Matt Campbell. I believe a few of the targeted candidates was Matt Rhule and maybe Kurt Cignetti but not 100 percent sure about those two names.
