It's his 3rd year and they are about to win the Big 10. What took him so long?

I agree. But, LSU didn't call a lot of guys. I still can't believe they didn't make overtures to any NFL guys.

I think he's from Penn.

He's in a Peterson type situation, sure we're a better job but he ain't going anywhere

Hmmm, I dunno. Is Franklin proven? We all know we can't have an "unproven" coach.

I mean, is Franklin on the level of Coach O, who is clearly proven? Proven at what you ask? I have no idea.

We will never know whom may have been interested or agreed to come and coach at LSU. Our incompatent AD Alleva decided to shut down the coaching search before ever starting a true national search. Alleva beleive it was best to pay Les Miles 10 million dollars to buy out his contract so he could just promote our DL coach to the posistion if head coach. Instead of doing his job and getting the best coach he could to come and coach the LSU tigers in 2017 and beyond...

Franklin is from Penn St. and at his dream job. No one wanted Franklin till they beat OSU. He is a great coach but isn't leaving Penn St. Until he is fired or retires.
