It’s like clock work, when a major college job opens up and a national media outlet lists James Franklin as a candidate.
The news broke this morning that Ed Orgeron is out at LSU following this season so one of the top jobs in college football is now vacant.
Franklin was immediately named a candidate for the USC job following the firing of Clay Helton and the same happened with the departure of Orgeron.
Here’s the thoughts of Dennis Dodd and Chip Patterson from CBS Sports.
