He is paid well but we may need to pay more to hold onto his assistants, most notably Seider and Spencer. Facility fund raising has been a nightmare for years, but IMO, your staff is even more vital. See last yr with Galiano etc.We have to pay him, simple as that

Would love to see that...wow that would spice up the CFB landscape. He might be done tho...for real this time lol.Meyer Meyer Meyer Meyer Meyer to USC next season.
I agree that the rumors would start again as they did last year. Any of us would be naive to think that JF would stay forever and would close all his options. James is a young, galvanizing force who can recruit as well as anyone. He is a mover and a shaker, and I mean that as a positive. Would he seriously consider a Southern Cal...why not? It's an easier conf to manage than the B1G...and even better recruiting landscape from CAL to TX. It's comical to see people on here always shove aside the idea that he might leave for a "change" or a new challenge....we should always be leery of coach speak about "loving where they are " etc. With that being said, I think JF likes being here, he is a native PA son...but that doesn't always mean everything. It's a good thing that JF is sought after...I'd rather want that than people not holding him in high regard.
All good points...I will add that PA numbers have been well publicized as decreasing, especially with elite talent, forcing u to leave the state to recruit. But, yes, the landscape is changing out West too.The California "recruiting landscape" is getting seriously overblown. Talk to people that live in Pac 12 Country, and they will tell you that it is getting harder and harder to find the same number of quality big bodies that you find in the South and Midwest due to the high influx of Asians and Latin American Hispanics.
The Pac 12 XM Radio Station had a show on it a couple of weeks ago about how the Big Ten and SEC are dominating the PAC 12 at the line of scrimmage more and more every year. Said that even though California has the highest population in the country, between 60 and 70% of the population is now Latin American (not Caribbean) Hispanic and Asian. Even used Penn State as an example as to how they just had different body types than Washington in the Fiesta Bowl a couple of years ago.
CJF would be beyond nuts to go out there.

Pretty sure Franklin, or any half decent coach, at USC would recruit nationally while selling LA. He’d crush it out there
Who are the trolls that constantly post this crap. JFF is not going to USC, they don’t have near th money nor the facilities to buy out Franklin from psu.
LA is getting harder and harder to "sell" every year. It ain't what it used to be. South Central LA isn't State College.

People either love the LA scene or hate it. CJF may hate it.

WOW!
Stay Classy!
You are forgiven!My sincerest apologies RTRMR. COMPLETELY misread your post. We are on the same page!!! NO WAY do I want CJF going to USC!!!!!!
GO USC!!!!!! : ^ )
Once again, my apologies. I owe you a beer. : ^ )
CJF would not be living in South Central if he took the USC job. But that’s not gonna happen. The PSU job is a better job, period.Exactly right. My son lives about a half mile from the campus. Rough neighborhood. While the streets of the campus are nice, not a lot of positives for the surrounding area. Therefore CJF would need to drive a reasonable amount in traffic to get to work, instead of his current short commute. It’s very possible him nor his family have any interest in living out there. I know I sure don’t, much prefer SC and its clean air and quality of life.
Coach James Franklin will NOT have the opportunity to accept or reject an offer from USC.I can't wait until USC fires their coach and CJF turns them down.
No idea why you think State College isn’t for him - you don’t know and neither do I. No offense to anyone here who lives in LA but man that place has gone way downhill the last 10 years and not sure I would want to raise their kids there. With money it’s much easier but the great weather is wasted on a lot of those people.No it’s not. State College isn’t for everybody. Easy to find 20-25 18 year old studs who want to play in LA
Have you ever lived in LA? Or anywhere nearby?No idea why you think State College isn’t for him - you don’t know and neither do I.

So I go there multiple times a year and we can’t even hire people out to go there - better than the Bay Area though - cost of living is a killer there. But to your question I guess I can’t comment on anyplace unless I love there - gotcha.Have you ever lived in LA? Or anywhere nearby?
