STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- After a nine-day search, the Penn State Nittany Lions are set to introduce James Franklin as their new head football coach at a Saturday afternoon news conference.

Franklin, who coached at Vanderbilt the last three seasons, entertained overtures this offseason from the NFL's Houston Texans, Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns before agreeing to a deal with the Nittany Lions. He'll earn up to $4.5 million a year in total compensation, a source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy.

"I can't tell you how excited I am to come home," Franklin said in a statement Saturday. "I grew up watching Penn State football and now to be at the helm of such a storied program is a tremendous honor. It's important to me to be a part of a university that strives for excellence in everything they do.

I just hope Vandy doesn't come after Kirby!

I think Kirby is waiting for Georgia.  I know Vandy is as strong as they've ever been right now, but still might not be the best career move.
