Apparently, he was extremely unhappy with how Franklin was fired from Penn State, so he has been working behind the scenes to make their coaching search as difficult as possible, steering all of Penn State‘s top candidates away from them.
If that's true then that's on the coaching candidates.Apparently, he was extremely unhappy with how Franklin was fired from Penn State, so he has been working behind the scenes to make their coaching search as difficult as possible, steering all of Penn State‘s top candidates away from them.

Sexton has mastered his occupation,Most coaches are gonna go where the agent can get them the most money and most secure situation. Sexton has been getting all of his guys raises and extensions to stay put. I don't think it's "on" anyone, since no coach is obligated to consider the PSU job. Sexton has just been working to take them off the board.
He put on an absolute masterclass when Saban retired. Saban, of course, was a Sexton client. All three candidates rumored to be in Bama's crosshairs were Sexton clients: Norvell, Sarkisian and DeBoer. Sexton got Sarkisian and Norvell huge raises and then got DeBoer a massive contract at Bama.Sexton has mastered his occupation,
And what a great occupation, marketing highly marketable coaches and athletes.
Assuming Beamer is not one of his clients.![]()
