Sounding more and more like Franklin will be staying put at Penn State. I think he will sign a huge extension in the near future. If I had to make predictions on the open jobs right now I would go with...
USC - Fickell
LSU - Aranda (?)
UF - Napier
VT - Charles Huff

What jobs are ahead of it?
It's gonna be funny (and sad) when BC beats us on Saturday and Hawley becomes more of a hot coaching candidate than Clawson.

Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oregon, Oklahoma, Ohio St, Michigan, USC, LSU for starters
man between this and hedging your ACC bet on the Deacs, you're bringing some bad #vibez
Man, Marshall fans hate Va Tech.
It makes zero sense to me how even decent coaches can fail so badly at schools like Florida and Texas. I mean, you literally grow 5 star recruits in your backyard. The talent alone should get you to the New Years six.

1. I think the Star system is so over-stated in recruiting - especially for the skill positions. It’s an ESPN/SEC hype machine that’s gonna over-sell the quality of talent at bigger programs every time.
2. I think the second reason is that success at a “lesser” program doesn’t necessarily translate into success at larger program with more resources and “talent.” Look at how many guys haven’t panned out at that big time job from a “inferior” job over last 10-15 years. Rich Rod, Brady Hoke, Mullen, McIlwain, Charlie Strong, Tom Herman, Butch Jones, Chad Morris, Justin Fuente, etc. Scott Frost, Josh Heupel, Harbaugh will soon be added to this list in next few years.
The only guys who have been successful making that jump (talking 10-15 top jobs) are James Franklin and Brian Kelly in last 10-15 years. Don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the top coaches today not named Nick Saban were P5 assistants at a top job before becoming a head coach- Dabo, Kirby Smart, Jimbo, Lincoln Riley, Ryan Day, etc. it’s just such a different ballgame and pressure cooker when you are a top 10-15 job.
