In January 2014, Donovan followed Franklin to Penn State as the offensive coordinator.[11] Donovan came under heavy criticism from the Nittany Lion fan base for questionable play calling. In November 2015, he was fired from the Penn State program.[12] Following the firing, a former graduate assistant who worked on the staff during the 2014 season claimed on Twitter that the offense was largely designed by the "HFC" and PennLive.com's David Jones wrote an article headlined "John Donovan was scapegoat for rebuild that will take longer than fans can accept." Surprisingly, Penn State would go on to win the Big 10 Championship the year after Donovan was fired, as new OC hire Joe Moorhead had the benefit of implementing his own system and employing a more accurate, more mobile quarterback, Trace McSorley
