re: Franklin will leave Penn St to LSU for $9.5MM per year

Correct. As an Ohio St fan i watched him have leads against Ohio St that his play calling let slip away . He tends to get real conservative and while that may work against Iowa and Michigan it wont vs Ohio St normally and certainly wont work against the elite SEC teams . Good coach .Good recruiter ,and probably has the merits to get the job but i would think LSU would have 2to 3 they would want before him
