Fickell has no connections to the west coast, and reading between the lines he has been waiting to take a major job in the midwest or B1G area (aka OSU or ND whenever one of those jobs opens up).
Don't see him leaving a Cincy program that is about to make a conference move to go for a job in the west coast, even if it is USC.
This situation depends on the $$$ and Mrs. Franklin. If she likes the idea of West coast living, he’s gone.
He also made a bet with me that Harbaugh wasn't remotely interested in the Michigan job. He is actually listenable now though.

Amy, Amy, Amy....what have you done?
Ohio State’s Athletic Department let us know that Luke Fickell did not make any effort to get a local pizza worker fired.
The story goes that Fickell’s wife was the target of an inappropriate comment regarding the Buckeyes’ need to tackle better. “Just like (the Fickells) did not place a call to complain, they also did not ask that anyone be fired. In fact, they feel terrible that this person lost his job.”
Much ado about very little, it seems.
I’m not worried at all about Franklin taking that job- from either angle really. I don’t think he’s leaving. And if he did, I do t think we’d have a difficult time finding another high quality coach to replace him.
Franklin was just was the cover of that article because he is the biggest name that would instantly come to any school's top of the list when the job opens. His picture gets people to click. Plus yes USC job opening is obviously an attractive one. They had a lot of patience with Helton. They should be kicking everyone's ass on a yearly basis in that conference.
I thought of him, but he was seeing the end of the road coming at FSU.
A great coach but in his 60s and that shipped sailed 12 years ago when they went undefeated and beat Bama. He stayed for whatever reason.
Using the Fisher Logic, wouldn't USC have made their move after our 4-5 season? Before our 2-0 start...?
Interesting that Jimbo got out right before the wheels fell off the wagon. Many believed his losing year there was just a distraction type of year and that FSU would return to glory in short order.

Agree. But it's not for any one of us to decide what is and what isn't an appropriate place for someone else to live.
It's not apparent to me that amateur FB players in a very crowded LA/Anaheim sports market (2 NFL, 2 MLB, 2 NBA, 2 NHL, 2 Pac-12) would drive more NIL money than Columbus OH or Phila/Pitt markets. Certainly, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinert would have done well, but a kid just got $1.4M in the armpit of America before even stepping on campus so I don't think it's orders of magnitude different that drives leaving a one 'Blue Blood' job for another.
As an aside, as I've said before, I think the SEC will continue to flourish with NIL because there is less competition with with pro sports, but I think on the whole, CFB will see a major correction in popularity as the lines of amateurism are blurred.

“Screw you, motherf***er! You suck, too! Hey, you suck too, motherf***er! You suck, too! F*** you!”
Is your family sitting with you in nervous anticipation of the good news, or are they going about their daily business saying "we don't have time for this nonsense".
Who''s the idiot that's going to ask CJF the question today at the PC ?
Based on what I have heard James say in private regarding family and small town living of being more accessible to him. I would be surprised to see him go to LA.
I'm hoping CJF never leaves but you need to wipe the slate clean at USC. That's why i believe they need a guy like Josh Gattis, young, dynamic recruiter, experience at Michigan , Alabama , and USC. There are probably others like him out there , but the big name hires are established and need a massive buyout.
Urban Meyer is going to be USC's next HC. Mike Lombardi is stating that his source in Columbus is telling him Urban is going to USC. He also said something is definitely up with USC because you do not fire a coach after 2 games. All the stuff you are hearing about Urban and some of his coaches and players is not good. He is not cut out for the NFL. Urban is a recruiter not an X O guy. His offense was always a high school offense. Why would he think he could pull it off?
Maybe it's time for Sarkisian to relax a little, pat himself on the back, lean back, prop his feet up on the desk and have a few belts of Patron Silver.
Probably not a good idea for a guy like Sarkisian, though he might need to after last Saturday's debacle.
It does depend on who we get. However, I am quite certain that Franklin isn't nearly good enough of a coach to win a national championship at Penn State so a change moves us closer regardless.
Thanks for your input.
It's amazing that so many other blue blood CFB programs would love to have CJF as a coach. I guess they don't want to try to win a national championship.
