Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel: Frames Janklin to USC is possible if Helton fired

You can't help yourself can you? Leave my name out of your comments you fat fuck.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:06 PM ^
I didn't mention your name, old sport.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
how do you know he's fat?
November 20th, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
It’s a lot more than Malibu that’s involved here.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
Indeed. I'm always baffled by this take. The median household income in Paradise (the town which was obliterated by the Camp Fire) is about $32,000. California is a massive state in terms of geography, population, and varying demographics. Wildfires are equally-opportunity life-destroyers.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:14 PM ^
Paradise is a town composed mostly of retirees of fairly modest means.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
Damn you're stupid.

His Dudeness has always been one of the worst posters on this board. An idiot and an asshole to boot.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:17 AM ^
Have you ever, say, been on a job with coworkers who were working alongside you that casually mentioned that they had to evacuate their house that morning because there was a wildfire on the other side of the hill from them?
No, I guess not.
If you actually paid attention to, you know, the news, you would be aware that Malibu is only a small portion of the various wildfires that are affecting California (though they are people too, contrary to your attitude about them).
It's hard to manage an acute combination of willful ignorance and absence of basic human decency in a short sports message board post, but you've done it. Bravo, troll. Bravo.

You're just a disgusting human being aren't you? I mean, just scum of the Earth. Kudos, my man, that takes some real committment and effort as that just doesn't happen often.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:18 AM ^
Time and time again you prove you're the dumbest person on here.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:23 AM ^
Even if the fire was a sentient creature that only attacked and destroyed the property of celebrities, yes, good people still feel bad for people who lose important things to natural disasters. Also, most of the "celebrities" who lost homes in this fire lost their primary residences. If they live and work in LA, the fire wasn't burning down some vacation home they visit for five days every year.
However, as others have pointed out, the celebrities losing their second or third homes makeup an incredibly small portion of the devastation from this fire. You continue to be an absolute cretin on this board.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:29 AM ^
It was a joke. Three weeks from now when we all joke about a California Crispy Kirk Douglass it'll all be cool again. Lighten up you bunch of cry babies.
November 20th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
"Also, we feel bad for celebrities in Malibu having their 14th house burn down now? Interesting."
If the above is to be construed as a "joke," don't quit your day job. Weak sauce.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:36 AM ^
Stupid. From Redding, CA to Roseburg, OR (and, frankly, into WA) there were 10 weeks of fires from mid-July to the end of September. And it was the third year in a row. Fires out west are an annual and increasing problem...but climate change is not that thing (/s).
November 20th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Dude, Paradise is about 500 miles from Malibu. It's about the same distance as the distance from Ann Arbor to Knoxville, TN.
Also, rimshots about situations where there are likely hundreds of people dead are usually not cool, but being a bit of a dick is sort of your thing, so...
November 20th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
Seems like you hate rich people to the point that you’re rooting for the fire. Maybe see a psychiatrist.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
+1 actual laughter out loud.
Lighten up people.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
You're going to have trouble finding people in California who weren't at least indirectly affected by the fires, and a decent amount of us on the board live in California.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
That is a terrible hire for USC and would give psu the chance to bring in a good hire who could capitalize on the legitimately good talent Franklin has recruited
November 20th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
USC has made a string of terrible hires.
Franklin is a weak in game coach. Maybe that will cost his team a game every other season or so. Other than that, he's pretty darn good. If you look at what's most important, it's recruiting, hiring a staff and getting the most out of them. He'll recruit great at USC and his personality should go over well there too.
I think it's a move that makes sense for USC and an absolute no-brainer for Franklin. As well as he recruits at PSU, he'll rarely if ever, have the most talented roster in his own division. That won't be a problem at USC.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^

November 20th, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
Marcus Ray could be his defensive coordinator
November 20th, 2018 at 10:35 AM ^
Gotta admit - Dickhead might be a fit at the University of Spoiled Children. They certainly deserve each other...
November 20th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
I honestly think that Franklin would be more successful at USC than at PSU. He's a good recruiter and CA has an absurd amount of talent that would seemingly lead to a baseline decent team. And also he doesn't have to deal with the competition of the B1G East
November 20th, 2018 at 10:52 AM ^
Idk about the lack of great teams in the P12 South, that's going to change rather quickly. Utah is already solid under Whittingham, ASU is rocketing up under "play to win the game" and Chip Kelly is going to do things at UCLA once he gets a roster of more than 57 scholarship players. Throw in Arizona having a coach that actually knows both sides of the football game and things could be very interesting and very tough very quickly in that division.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:00 AM ^
You can poke doubt at all of those, except maybe Utah, but they always seem to have one or two wtf results a season
November 20th, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Utah will never be able to sustain excellence at the level USC is capable of when it is well-run. Wittingham is getting everything he can out of that program, but he'll never get it to a nationally elite level.
USC will have its way with Arizona and ASU. UCLA is the only team in that division that can approach parity with peak USC, but they haven't done that in 20 years, and even with Chip Kelly USC should out-recruit them and feel pretty comfortable.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
C'mon admit it ... Frames already has that way cool "Hollywood sunglasses" look ! hahaha!
Go Blue!
November 20th, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
Frames could actually be moderately successful out in LA if he has good coordinators. The guy can obviously recruit and USC is fertile ground for top 5 classes, but the dude obviously isn't an elite X's and O's guy. Seems like the guys background is WR coaching, so maybe I can sorta see where he could be successful as a HC/WR-TE coach with good coordinators
OTOH, the most likely outcome is probably hilarious failure
November 20th, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
He can be successful anywhere with good coordinators because he is an elite recruiter.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
Talent isn't the issue he's getting more than his share of great talent at PSU. His issue is questionable game day coaching. USC will be irrelevant for 20 more years if they hire him.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
USC isn't having a problem recruiting anyway. They are having problems with the next steps: motivation, scheme, game management. Franklin would be more of the same in at least two of those categories.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:40 AM ^
This just doesn't seem to be a great year to need a new coach.
OSU will probably decide between Matt Campbell and Ryan Day if Urban leaves.
The smartest/luckiest team with a vacancy will hire Matt Wells.
Seth Littrell and Neal Brown have impressed me.
Other than that, I'm not sure who the great, young talent who has established themselves as HCs of lower tier programs is.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
Mike Norvell is the guy you want if you're a P5 AD looking to hire on short notice.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
Yeah Norvell would be in my top group of G5 coaches as well. Wells would be #1 for me though.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
I'm not sure Littrell or Brown will get much consideration for jobs like OSU, USC, PSU. Those are big time pressure cookers that will want experience with/against other top 10-like blue bloods. Yeah, OSU goes with 'coach in waiting' Ryan Day - who would probably be a legit consideration for either USC or PSU (well, Lynn Swann/USC decision making aside), if he's still an assistant whenever they look around.
I think those guys all kick the tires on Mike Gundy, Matt Cambell, and Mike Norvell. Not sure if Gundy even takes calls, though...
November 20th, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
Gundy would not be a good fit at PSU, IMO.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Yeah. I think PSU is hoping to get MoreHead from the boys down south.
Heck, doesn't even have to be in the south. They'll do it in the showers too.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:28 AM ^
I'm not sure why Mike Gundy keeps getting mentioned when major jobs open up. Do people think he's a fit anywhere other than Oklahoma State?
Gundy is somewhat like their Harbaugh. He was a starting QB at OSU. He's from a town outside of OKC, not too far from Stillwater. His offensive style is made for the Big 12 and he's at a program that doesn't expect him to compete for a playoff spot every year. He rocks a mullet, hunts rattlesnakes, and takes his shirt off sometimes. I don't think Mike Gundy is going anywhere, I think he's absolutely in his perfect niche in life.
November 20th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
"He rocks a mullet, hunts rattlesnakes, and takes his shirt off sometimes."
This is all you needed to say... LMAO - it's so true!!! OK St is his perfect fit.
