James Franklin may soon find a new home.

ESPN reported Saturday morning that Franklin is "engaged in the early stages of talks" about becoming the next Virginia Tech head coach.

According to the report, Franklin will find out his fate in the coming days, but there is mutual interest.

Franklin was fired from Penn State after the Nittany Lions suffered an upset loss to the Northwestern Wildcats. It was the school’s third straight loss and second consecutive shocking defeat. The team lost to the UCLA Bruins on the road the week prior.

Franklin took over as Penn State’s head coach before the 2014 season after spending three years with the Vanderbilt Commodores , leading the school to back-to-back nine-win seasons.
