Around. They have a good shot at being 10-2 with wins over Rutgers and Mich. St. He has also beat THE OHIO STATE university this year. This is only his Third year.

Franklin has S.E.C. experience. He did well at vandy. He is very energetic and charismatic. I think LSU would do well to see if they can get a James Franklin. Of all the people mentioned, there aren't many better.

I mentioned him before (not first choice) and got torn apart. Prepare for a lashing.

Check out his overall record. And consider that he coaches in the Big 10.

He comes off as an a-hole. You know our fanbase has to love the guy if he's going to be the headcoach.

He was being talked about as possibly being fired before tOSU, which if you watched that game it was kind of a fluky win to be honest. I think he's a good coach and I wouldn't be mad if we hired him or anything but not sold on him at the moment. Would still much rather him than like Fedora or Dana.

Not saying he isnt a good coach, but he has seriously struggled at the QB position and O-Line. Thats kind of a big deal for us. Also, he was considered firmly on the hot seat until they upset Ohio State.

Franklin would never leave Penn St for LSU.

LSU is not a better program than Penn State

This is a fluke year at Penn. The big ten is down with the exception of OSU and Michigan.

Penn State has beaten TWO P5 teams with a winning conference record. And one of those wins was the fluke win at Ohio State. Not much to hang your hat on.

Franklin will still be fired within the next 3 years, just like he was going to be this year if not for the outlier season.

Great bump.
With all that mess that was still there from Paterno/Sandusky sanctions. That Texans coach wasn't gonna do it for damn sure. Franklin is an outstanding coach who just won the best conference in football this season. So many idiots on this board.

There's no question he can coach. But he's not leaving Penn State

You don't leave penn state for LSU. Sorry, Penn state is a longtime, blue blood, national program.

Mellenials don't know Penn state. They only saw the last few years of Paterno.

82,86- won the title
69,73,78,85,- played for it
94- were the best, most complete team in america.

LSU-Penn state are not equal.
