re: With Franklin to USC rumors abounding, do we panic yet?

Well, SportsCenter on ESPN2 currently has a "ESPN Report" on the sidebar scroller saying Steve Sarkisian has accepted the USC HC job. It's just speculation as of yet, though.

I do understand that USC is a great platform, but I think Franklin prefers the challenge of building a legacy at Vanderbilt to being another name in the USC books on some level. Obviously, he's ambitious and if he thinks he can better reach goals elsewhere, he might leave.

Oh the joys of actually having a top quality coach...
