BS.
Either Franklin is leveraging Penn State for more money or FSU is leaking it to make their search look legit.
Zero chance he’d actually go there.
He was 1-5 versus Ohio State and 2-4 versus Big Game Jim. Go for it Noles.
Be careful mods will spank you for posting "false" information about Franklin to FSUAll depends if PSU steps up to plate financially. Decision soon.
I doubt he leaves Penn St. He grew up in PA. If he did leave, it would definitely be for USC over FSU. FSU is in much worse shape than we are. At least we have an O-line that can develop. Their offensive line is a reboot for the next 3 years. They're going to lose their best players to the NFL in Marvin Wilson, Tamorrion Terry,and Cam Akers. FSU is a total reboot.Pretty sure he has his sights on the USC gig.
He would recruit the crap out of SoCal. Those kids are dying to go to usc. But they won’t even they suck obvUSC seems right for him. Getting rolled by OSU every year or get rolled by Clemson every year. USC got nothing like that
He’s an excellent coach.
Florida State powerbrokers met with Penn State coach James Franklin over the weekend, Noles247 has confirmed with multiple sources.
The two sides, according to sources, did not come to terms on a deal. Our understanding is that Franklin wanted a substantial raise from his current annual salary that was beyond FSU’s comfort level at this time.
This isn’t to say that discussions between the two sides are definitely dead, but FSU didn’t feel confident about Franklin leaving the meeting. The plan was to meet with another coach, according to a source.
PSU is believed to be working on a contract extension for Franklin. It’s unclear how a potential extension will impact FSU’s negotiations with Franklin
Just wanted to weigh in on the continued rumors regarding James Franklin and Florida State after speaking to some folks on this side. I can confirm that the Seminoles have been persistent in their pursuit of Franklin, but have been told there was no meeting between the two sides this weekend. Franklin was in New York with his family on Sunday and attended Saquon Barkley’s game on Sunday afternoon. Having said that, Florida State has absolutely made him a top priority and has come after Franklin hard, but have been rebuffed.
I’m still in the camp that an extension is close to happening on this end, and that’s one that’s been in the works since the summer. As we’ve said all along, Franklin is bigger on the guarantees for the program than salary, etc., when it comes to the extension, so details are still being hammered out.

USC can win the PAC 12 next year. FSU is a decade from competing with Clemson.
I would have laughed if you said Rich Kotite JrLooks like FSU just hired Rick Kotite.
