Lions247: A Penn State athletics Podcast

We were all set to bring you our final episode of the week, featuring the big news that All-Big Ten wideout Jahan Dotson was coming back to Happy Valley. That wasn't enough for James Franklin, apparently. On Friday morning the program announced that it was moving on from OC Kirk Ciarrocca after just one year and hiring Mike Yurcich to run the offense. In emergency fashion, we welcomed in a few guests from Texas to talk Yurcich in Chris Hummer and Mike Roach. Then we tacked on our original show in which Sean Fitz and Tyler Donohue break down Dotson's return and what it means for Penn State in 2021. It's a jam-packed Friday episode, check it out.Follow the guys on Twitter:@SeanFitz247@TDsTake To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
