Comes open Coach James Franklin is the only available or the only coach they go after what is it with this phenomenon. Whether it's on some blog or a site like this I never here any other names mentioned does every other coach in division 1 SUCK that much. Can someone explain this to me
 
These coaching lists always start with who the school wishes it could hire. You know how Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher came up for every open job for years? Then the list will morph into who the school is actually more likely to hire.

James Franklin is who USC wishes it could hire. They'll end up with Rich Rod or Butch Jones.

How do we ,you the media know that CJF is who they want. I have not heard or read anything from USC about CJF being on there wish list

Exactly. Franklin is a great recruiter who, some would say, makes questionable in game decisions. USC has been recruiting lights out the past four to five years - at least. They don’t need a dynamic recruiter as it would appear damn near anyone can recruit there. They might as well go after Harbaugh, Kelly, Saban, Frost at UCF, etc. Why are these reporters so sure it’s Franklin. Quite frankly (ahem) it’s starting to smell like dirty recruiting tactics designed to hurt Penn State. Of course, if this is the case Franklin can squash that rumor real fast if he wanted to. Here’s a list of up and coming coaches from last year. Lots of legit choices beyond Franklin:

He won’t answer if he is coming back. Sounds like the O’Brien situation all over again. I’m starting to get nervous. I thought this was his dream job.
 
It really doesn’t matter what he says. Most of the coaches who change jobs deny it in some form until the ink is dry

Ha Ha - put on your Big Boy pants - all is well.
 
A few thoughts on James Franklin.
1) Many like to stir the pot because they want to hurt recruiting, have another agenda,or like to see this board beat it’s head against the wall overreacting to everything.
2) Speaking of overreacting, every time something doesn’t work out the way we wish, someone needs to be blamed. Yes, some mistakes are made but it’s not like other coaching staffs don’t make mistakes. Some on this board just dwell on our mistakes for days, weeks and years. Look at the criticism of Joe, one of the best coaches of all time.
3) The experts here would probably “lose the team” somewhere in training camp. Second guessing is easy to do, especially when the critics record is never under scrutiny.
4) How long did it take Alabama Nick to win a National Championship? Sure as he’ll didn’t do it at MSU. There is a learning curve. Is Andy Reid a bad coach? May not always have worked out for him but he’s pretty good. What about Tomlin? He’s been criticized plenty. You have to look at the Entire Body of Work.
5) I will take Franklin, what he has accomplished so far is impressive. We are like spoiled brats. It takes awhile to build a program. We had success a little to quickly so people are freaking out we don’t have the same success every year. We are in the toughest division in college football even if the talking heads refuse to acknowledge it.
6) It will take more than a 9-3 or 8-4 season to get me off the bandwagon. Sheet, get a grip.

Zips up firesuit,.......INCOMING!! Rant over.
 
OSU, Pitt, UM, and ND fans causing trouble that don't exist. PSU way ahead, even or catching up makes other fans nervous. Of course Jimmy & Urban love the weather in Columbus & Ann Arbor.

it was his dream job just like "there are only three conferences .... the AFC, the NFC and the SEC"
 
David Jones is a jerk, but at the end of the day, Franklin could have said "YES", I love Penn St and of course I will be the head coach here next year.

I understand leverage is always at play, but that's all he needed to say to squash a lot of this. Even if he would entertain thoughts of USC, right now the job is not available anyway so he could always say circumstances have changed.
 
Because people on this board get stirred up over nothing and you people believe everything that people post. GET A LIFE!!!!!

Because Rob is locked-up with a big extension?
