I have no doubt that he covets Penn St -- but not in the circumstance they hired Bill O'Brien in. That would have been just as stupid as Kiffin taking the USC job.
Given the circumstances that Franklin was hired under though, Penn State was in pretty good shape. I just don't think that he was offered the job personally because if he was, I think he would have taken it.

They didn't covet Mullen at that point.

They were interested the first time. Not after the 7-6 in 2013. It still wasn't a given that they'd have the bowl ban lifted when they hired Franklin though. That came after. Given what we've seen at Vandy this year vs what we've seen at MSU -- it's quite clear why Franklin got out last year vs why Mullen isn't in any hurry to leave.
The part of all this that no one is wanting to look at or talk about is this "graduating class" everyone is blowing for MSU right now and talking about how things are going to fall apart next year is arguably the worst one he has recruited overall in his time at MSU...
