Apparently the the leaks are coming from Penn State's side and Jimmy is upset because he doesn't get to leave on his terms.

What would the hold up be about?
The only thing I can think of is that Penn State is having to send another plane to pick him up ... Franklin's ego wouldn't fit into the first jet they sent.

At Penn State, sources say they are getting all necessary clearances. Might take 24 hours (or even until Saturday) but Franklin is their guy

Clearances?

David Williams: @jamesfranklinvu called me today and said the reports of him accepting job at Penn State are untrue.
Anyone else believe that David Williams needs to give up the ghost?

To have this news floating now for 24 hours with no confirmation or denial tells me that there's some dysfunctionality somewhere - likely, based upon what O'Brien inferred, that dysfunctionality is somewhere up the ladder at Penn State.

Looking at his staff, I think Petrino might turn Louisville into a powerhouse.
According to ESPN, Kevin Steele just accepted the DC role.

I think Franklin just wants to have all the proper conversations. Someone posted about an hour ago (4 Eastern, 3 Central) that he heard on 104.5 in Nashville a team meeting is taking place right now.

I think the statements from David Williams stating that Franklin is still the coach is just out of respect for Franklin, to let Franklin have the important meetings with coaches, staff, and players ...to let Franklin be the one that makes the announcement, rather than having the announcement made by someone else.

I just read something that I found strangely true:

IN other words, Franklin is leaving on his terms and doing it the right way.

I'm over that. I am still [pissed at the Fulmersexuals for allowing the program to crash in the first place.

Has hell frozen over?

In the past 2 days the radio, TV and message boards have been going nuts over a Vandy coach and a coach (Kiffin) that screwed 3 football programs and got his ass fired at his 'Dream Job' in the parking lot and not even allowed to ride the team bus back to campus.

Never seen nothing like it!

This column discusses the hurdles that Penn State must clear before the deal is done and it will get done.

Perhaps they have a lot of bureaucracy up there. The timing is similar to O'Brien.

1. Deal was agreed to in principle on a Wednesday.
2. Word leaked that he was hired on a Thursday.
3. Lots of angry articles and people in denial on Friday.
4. It was made official on a Saturday, with a Press Conference that morning.
