James Franklin will not be HC at LSU. My money is on CUM or Dabo.

Certainly qualifies him to post on the Rant.

Franklin is a clown, and shouldn’t even be on LSU’s list.

No, no he is not. Given a lot of folks in Louisiana's very liberal usage of the "N" word, this guy loses a game or two it will reflect really poorly on the community.

Sounds like a good fit as an average poster on tRant

So most know i am an anyone but JF has some legit gripes. PSU is top 10 in revenue yet have athletic dorms that have not been updated in 30 years.

but mainly i wanted to point out that the myth that he is some great recruited is BS. he has a good class this year but in general he has finished in the 15-20 range and only had one other top 10 class.

also before you start praising him for Vandy, might wanna go back and look at the schedules. he only has one win over a ranked team while there.

Sounds like every LSU fan on the site. He would be a perfect fit.

I work with a PSU grad and big football fan. He is not really impressed with Franklin and really wouldn't be upset if he goes. Much like the sentiment the OP listed.

He likes his recruiting but doesn't think the teams are tough, he doesn't think he is a great X O guy, and is sort of done with him I think.
I mentioned that LSU appears to be looking a Franklin a week or 2 ago....He wasn't bothered by it at all.

It was sort of like

Saban this Saban that to defend any and every coaches negatives.

Saban is the only Saban.

Saban can afford to be unpleasant or even unlikable. It's a lot different to tolerate with around .500 like results.

Franklin isn’t going to be our next coach. Him leaving is clear but USC is his new destination.

WTF? If this is your perception, you are hanging out with the wrong people in Louisiana.

I can’t see how this dude even makes the long list much less the short list. He would not be a good fit at LSU.

Terrible fit

Jimbo had similar issues at FSU

And he made a big move and has since underwhelmed

Give me a coach that can do more with less. Because at LSU, he will have a surplus of resources

Maybe. They are mostly in my ex-wife's family and their circle. I will say 80% are LSU alums and the rest are USL or whatever they are calling themselves this week. Well-educated, white-collar people.

LSU fans hate Franklin right now because he's coming off a loss. They play Ohio St this weekend. With a win, suddenly he'll be right back at the top of our list.

I like him. With the recruiting here and maybe a good DC we'd be riding.

so this:

means this:

?

maybe your ex wife's family has a problem and not necessarily "a lot of folks in Louisiana"
