David Jones is at it again

[summitlion1]

I hate giving this guy clicks, but this is unbeleivable, and needs to be noticed.

With Clay Helton gone, James Franklin is a perfect fit at USC, and all the reasons I gave in 2018 still are true | Jones

Now that the University of Southern California has finally dropped the axe on their ill-fitting head coach of seven years, it's easy to believe Troy will come after Penn State's coach of about the same tenure. If Franklin gets the call, why would he leave? There've always been good reasons.

It's not the fact he is suggesting that going to USC would be good for Franklin. He goes seven steps further, and when mentioning Hall of Fame college coaches that weren't all about football, but had a personality, tried to relate with the players, and were "witty", he mentioned Bowden and Frye, but refused to mention Paterno.
There is no other local paper in the country that would intentionally write this about the home team. This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Nitwit]

Ignore him. He’s just trying to get clicks. His paper is a joke and he is struggling to survive by creating controversy. Don’t help him by calling any attention to his BS.

 

[PSU_Chicago]

Why would you even read his stuff …

You “hate giving the guy clicks,” but yet you do. I guess I’m no better, as I opened this thread and read your post. Let’s all remember that self-control results in you being a stronger, smarter, better person.

USC has been promising coaches that they would fix the facilities issues and help them make USC great again since Pete Carroll left. It doesn't happen. They keep firing the coach with years remaining on his contract then don't have the money to upgrade. Leadership at USC is a joke. Franklin knows this and wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, but would use it for leverage.

Kinda' overlooked that Franklin would have to take a pay cut to take the job. Yeah, I know, all Mike Bohn has to do is snap his fingers and someone will appear with an open checkbook. Is Mossimo out of prison yet?

 

[veebs]

Not sure who is worse him or Audrey Snyder (she asked a question to Franklin today about the USC job).

 

[RTRMR]

Cory Geiger?

Schuylkill. Not Susquehanna. Jones lives in Philly.

Why no Ryan Day on the USC list? I guess the loss to Oregon knocked him off. James Franklin called PSU his dream job, so why are people expecting him to leave now, especially when he has a staff and team that could compete for a playoff spot.

My question is why is Harbaugh’s name not being thrown out there? He had a lot of success on the west coast. He has connections out there. Michigan has had a hell of a lot less success against OSU than PSU has. Every reason they use for Franklin to leave and go to USC could be just as easily said about Harbaugh yet no one is floating that name out there. And no one can convince me that Michigan is a better job than PSU.

He’s just p*ssed that the Buckeyes took it up the keester from a team that looked a lot like 2016 PSU …. So He’s working out some issues

That’s beneath Day. He’s so good, he could coach 2 NFL teams at the same time - and don’t get me started about Brian Hartline

Does Davey have an exclusive conversation with CJF ranting about the "Paterno people?" 🥴

Most of it is behind a paywall that I’m sure few are paying to get behind.

David Jones has made a living (not sure how good) on trashing Penn State Football for a long time, because he couldn’t do it well enough covering his Buckeyes in Ohio.

Yep, and he and his sidekick Flounders trained Pickel. You watch what's going to start to happen around here. It starts with a few seemingly innocent comments that could easily be interpreted in multiple ways (already has) and progresses from there...

Iovine Young Academy only cost them $30.0 Million....amazing place. My son was interviewed on campus for their 2nd class. Close but no cigar. I'm ok with not having to root for SC. My buddies' son is now at UMiami. That's worse. Money isn't the issue there. It is a very eclectic place...

I thought they fired that piece of shit.

He should stick with his obsession with auto-felatio....he is much better at that one.

 

[Crusher1950]

All Franklin has to do is say I’m not interested and that would take care of it but he won’t so it’s on Franklin

 

[Cpeplion]

Losing Pickel was the nail in the PennLive coffin.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

I can’t wait until David Jones joins the Davy Jones Locker population.

 

[Midnighter2]

Franklin should bar PennLive from any practices/interviews. They’re as obvious a troll as there is.

 

[psuro]

Schuylkill. Not Susquehanna. Jones lives in Philly.

He lives in Downingtown. Not Philly.

 

[NC2017]

Jones remains angry that he's trapped in a small town, working in a dying industry. In trying to compete with the free content of dozens of bright internet bloggers and YouTube content providers, Jones is always a day late and a dollar short. His sour outlook worked for real newspaper men like Dick Young, but unlike Jones he made it fifty years ago when print media was king. I'm not sure when PennLive will turn out the lights, but they certainly will. People like Jones will guarantee it. They have nothing.

 

[psuro]

Jones talks a bit about his column CJF and USC in the first few minutes.

Thanks for this. I never fail to hit the DOWN button on him and Flounders.

I think this is what he was referring to:

Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre give $70 million to create new academy at USC

Music industry icons and entrepreneurs Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre (Andre Young) have pledged $70 million to USC to create a new model for training and inspiring the next generation of innovators.

Dre is also a USC guy; he and Jimmy Iovine donated something like $70mm to establish a performing arts center or something like that (and Dre's daughter goes to USC)....
