The biggest head coaching vacancy in college football this season opened up last weekend when Penn State fired James Franklin, following the Nittany Lions' third straight loss. So who will take over at Penn State now?

Plenty of names have been tossed out there since Franklin was fired, including Nebraska's Matt Rhule, Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin and Indiana's Curt Cignetti — who's not really an option now after signing a huge contract extension this week.

There are also some people wondering about Nick Saban and whether he'd trade coaching retirement and a seat on ESPN's College GameDay for the Penn State job. Well, to that crowd, Miss Terry Saban had the perfect response to that.

Saturday while GameDay was at the Georgia-Ole Miss game, Pat McAfee, while standing next to Saban, asked Miss Terry what would happen if Penn State offered her husband $50 million to return to coaching. Here's how she responded with a nod to Saban's coaching tree:

"I have no doubt if Nick wanted to go back to coaching, he could win his eighth national championship, but we're having too much fun. And we wouldn't want to take that opportunity away from all of our baby coaches, like Kirby [Smart] and Lane [Kiffin]. Too much fun. I haven't heard a number yet."

Saban added onto his wife's answer: "Mrs. Always Right has spoken."

Yeah so, Penn State fans probably shouldn't hold their breaths for Saban in Happy Valley.
