James Franklin, the former head coach of Penn State, will make his return to the public eye this Saturday. He is scheduled to appear on ESPN’s College GameDay at the University of Georgia. This marks his first opportunity to speak since his departure from Penn State.
Exclusive Interview on College GameDay
Franklin’s interview will take place in Athens, Georgia, before the highly anticipated matchup between No. 5 Ole Miss and No. 9 Georgia. The game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. EST. His last public engagement was after the disappointing loss to Northwestern, just a day before he was released from his position.
GameDay Lineup
Alongside Franklin on College GameDay will be notable figures:
- Pat McAfee
- Kirk Herbstreit
- Nick Saban
- Rece Davis
- Desmond Howard
Franklin’s appearance comes under markedly different circumstances compared to his last visit three weeks ago. During that episode, he participated in the buildup to Penn State’s White Out game against Oregon.
Additional Guests
In addition to Franklin, Georgia’s head coach Kirby Smart and Ole Miss’s head coach Lane Kiffin will also appear on the program. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia is set to join during the pregame warmups ahead of the Commodores’ showdown with LSU.
GameDay Coverage Details
College GameDay coverage will begin at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN, providing fans with insights and commentary leading up to the exciting games of the day.
