Correct. Platschke and Thamel are saying President Carol Folt is trying so hard to get away from all the scandals, and all Urban has done is win.... and have scandals.
They’re saying James Franklin is the big fish.
“If they can’t sell Franklin on coming — and assuming Bob Stoops is happy in the XFL — they can sift through a list that would likely include Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, Baylor’s Matt Rhule, Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Cincinnati’s Luke Fickell and Memphis’ Mike Norvell.” -

He also drops one or two a year just like mere mortal coaches like say Petersen. He couldn't beat Urban much but his one win was a big one
O'Brien was replaced by former Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin in January 2014. Ohio State won in Franklin's first two seasons, but in 2016, a blocked punt and blocked field goal helped Penn State upset the #2 ranked Buckeyes, 24–21. Penn State would go on to win the conference championship. In 2017, the sixth-ranked Buckeyes hosted #2 Penn State. The Nittany Lions came into the game with best scoring defense in the country, allowing only 9.6 points per game, against an Ohio State team that led the Big 10 in scoring. Ultimately the Buckeyes overcame a 28–10 deficit to win, 39–38, scoring the winning touchdown with 1:48 in the game. In 2018, #4 Ohio State rallied from a 26-14 deficit to defeat #9 Penn State, 27–26. The loss ended Penn State's 16-game home winning streak.
Losing the last two from ahead is also familiar
Bottom line and thanks for hoppin on - Franklin will do very good at USC and win a shit ton of games and titles but not at the Urban level of destruction -
I agree, Urban Meyer will make Pete Carroll's run look weakRaceBannon said:

He’s not leaving State College 😂that’s laughable. He’s a god there. He gets almost any player he wants and doesn’t have the pressure of USC boosters. Urban or bustDoogCourics said:greenblood said:

If it was just one scandal from Urbs I think they wouldn’t care. I think it’s the number, Including sensitivity to the whole Aaron Hernandez mess with Urbs at Florida considering USC has its OJ problem.RaceBannon said:No one cares that some Ohio State assistant beat his wife.

Call me crazy, but if the USC president is that concerned about scandal and off-field issues, I won't be shocked if they put the full court press on Petersen. Assuming that this season isn't an indication that Petersen has gone full Chip Kelly and cashed in and checked out, he could do some serious damage down there. I don't think, for instance, he'd have to worry about seasons where there are zero linebackers or non-freshman safeties on the roster. That he's a bottom-10 game day coach in the entire country wouldn't go away, but it wouldn't matter when he'd have the talent on the roster to be up by multiple scores in every game.
If the priorities for USC are:
1.) Be clean
2.) Win,
then I don't see why Petersen wouldn't be top of the list. He's a guy that would probably have that program winning the conference three out of four years, making the playoff one out of three, and getting plungered in the playoff ten out of ten. With a squeaky clean image, that's probably good enough.
Just in conference, I think Wilcox could do alright there (with the right OC) and seems pretty scandalproof. And, call me crazy, but what about @Babushka? What he's doing at OSU is pretty impressive, relatively speaking. Whit... Not so sure. Somehow half the players in the country that get kicked out of their school end up at Utah, so I don't think he's the choir boy that some make him out to be. He's also nearly as piss poor at clock/game management as Petersen.
All that being said, with the way USC's offense has turned around this year, I wouldn't be surprised if, after a lot of hullabaloo, Graham Harrell isn't just promoted to HC. -

rhule would do a good job but the nfl might come calling soon.
pj just re-upped with minny.
campbell, eh, could be alright but he has pretty deep midwest/rustbelt roots.
fickell, midwest guy, tearin shit up at cinci like brian kelly and brian kelly did, maybe he troojes out.
norvell, lol:
could still see trooj 'getting' jeff fisher or jack del rio or both. -
I would really really not like it if norvell went to sc.
All of Graham's good years were due to him. Great OC , good recruiter, other coaches really like him.
Apparently was banging coeds and led to a falling out with graham lol
So that's a plus -
Jack Del Rio update
He has an appearnce on the LA ESPN radio show
Keyshawn asked him if he watched the Oregon game. Jack hems and haws and said kind of but was busy
So Kewshawn says let me ask you this - did you ever think you'd see it when kids just down the road who should be Trojans play for a team like Oregon and kick our ass (USC does NOT respect Oregon like they do us)
That got Jack going. I guess the kid that got booted for Oregon is from Mater Dei
