    James Franklin had an absolute STACKED roster for a few years with Trace McSorley, Saquon Barkely, Chris Godwin, Juwan Johnson, Miles Sanders etc. Anyone with a fucking pulse could have won with that group.

    Was he responsible for getting those guys? I honestly don't know, but if he was, that's SOMETHING. Franklin doesn't excite me, but if he can keep the good players from leaving the state, keep the island people coming to Seattle and re-establish the California connections, he might be good here.

    He could also be another Willingham.
    He certainly does but he has to sustain that kind of recruiting to make up for what he lacks on game day. Which the past 2 seasons he hasn't done. Could he recruit like that at UW? I don't know.

    Reading the replies I was reminded that Johnny Majors and Earl Bruce coached there. Majors went to Pitt and won a national championship then to UT. Bruce followed Woody at Ohio State. Tough act. And Walden sucked there

    I thought of Walden when the Texas Tech radio announcers got suspended for being homers and hating on the refs

    What Franklin did at Vanderbilt was as impressive as Campbell at Iowa State

    Coin toss on that one

    Hard disagree. I’ve gone through this before but the five teams Franklin beat in conference for his magical 5-3 2012 season had a total of six conference wins. Franklin only stayed at Vandy three seasons and that was his only year with a winning conference record.

    But that was good enough to get him the Penn State job so how are we too big for Campbell?
    When I saw the two downvotes I was torn because I respect your opinion.

    I'm not anti Campbell. I am pro any of the good names and Anyone But Wilcox

    Franklin did get the big job off of Vandy. Derrick Mason before him moved up as well.

    Doing good at a historically bad school is a great resume builder.

    Campbell has been their longer and has sustained winning records. That's a big plus. The SEC was tougher than the Big almost 12 is now. Advantage Franklin

    I'll take a yes from either
    Mason replaced Franklin at Vandy and got fired for going 27-55.

    Franklin didn’t get to .500 in SEC games but was 11-14 (.458) which was Vandy’s best conference record & winning % since 1939.

    It is smart for Franklin to be shopping around for a new job/contract right now. He is trending down at Penn State and if he stays he is probably heading towards hot seat territory.

    My hope is that he gets the USC job and continues to keep them irrelevant

    I think he would do good at usc but not great. I mean clay won the conference there. This is not like the division he is in currently.
