Could be an interesting twist to the coaching musical chairs:

It was reported today that James Franklin is switching his representation to Jimmy Sexton. Apparently, Jimmy Sexton is agent to the heavyweight coaches in the SEC.... And Sexton gets his clients $$$$. It doesn’t mean Franklin to LSU is a done deal, but it certainly points to LSU wanting him and Sexton thinking there’s a plan he can put together to make it happen. This move - and the kind of money Sexton will negotiate for Franklin- will likely take USC out of the equation as far as Franklin goes.

The LSU fan boards have all been pretty confident their new AD Woodward would make a splash hire. Franklin would certainly fit that bill.

It looks like USC will now have Luke Fickell and Matt Campbell at the top of their coach board , with Dave Clawson (Wake Forest) and Jonathan Smith (Oregon St) as candidates #3 and 4.

Wonder who penn state would go for. There’s a TE coach in the NFL waiting for their call.

If they wanted an established HC, they could go for Luke Fickell, Dave Clawson, Dave Doeren, Justin Fuente, Tim Lester or Troy Calhoun (if they really want to be a run first team lol)

But if they wanted a young up & comer, Josh Gattis would be a good wildcard pick in terms of his ability to recruit & familiarity with their program, but there’s no telling how’d he be as a HC.

Billy Napier would be the perfect long term pick for LSU.

But some of their boosters want a big name splash hire that will be able to compete on the recruiting trail with Bama, UGA & TAMU, hence why there’s interest in James Franklin.

James Franklin imo is just like Cristobal, a whole lotta rah rah, good recruiter, B+ coach.

They appeal to the emotions of fans & boosters alike, they’ll always be able to buy themselves leeway because they’re loud & understand how to use authoritative coach speak, but eventually you’ll wonder where it’s going & when the roller coaster ride ends...
