Sounds like some smoke at Vandy...

[linebackeru]

The OC, DC and DL coach are following pretty much all our recruits on twitter as of today. Each guy has different recruits they are following, no overlaps. Sounds like contact points may be established for our new staff already....at the very least its certainly interesting and very public. Vandy fans in panic and recruits there starting to worry.

I saw that but didn't Golden's brother start doing the same thing with follows? It's a good sign but not one that I'm going to take as a given.

Golden's brother isn't a coach suddenly following recrutis, he followed some reporters and PSU football accounts. They followed the early enrollee's as well

Its called doing your HW. Its a good sign but not always a sure thing as we have seen by Golden's brother.

At Penn State, sources tell us that PSU plans to offer their head coaching position to James Franklin http://FootballScoop.com/the-scoop

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop 11m
This is happening folks

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop 6m
Have every reason to believe the offer from PSU will be one that Franklin will accept

they have 55000 followers and are a pretty reputable source.....more smoke

 

[Ritzarmy]

Yes we want him but after he does other interviews will he still want us is the question?

#Vandy coach James Franklin has emerged as the clear frontrunner for the vacancy at #PennState, per source


and more smoke.

He has no interviews officially set up, just teams who want to talk to him

 

[Ritzarmy]

Friday with Redskins I heard but I hope he accepts the PSU job.

It keeps heating up, one recruit said Vandy coaches following him "in case Franklin takes job" .....sounds like dotting i's and crossing t's....very hopeful that's the case. This is a fucking grand slam hire if true

 

[SFNL]

Looks pretty damn good at this point

 

[Ritzarmy]

I will wait till I see him at podium as they introduce him as HC of PSU before I say anything is a done deal. LinebackerU already told me L'OB would be diffently be staying and we know how that turned out. Once again my glass is always half empty.

I hope PSU gets Franklin. I think he is a better overall coach than Golden. He will do some really great things at PSU.

L'Ob flat out lied to a ton of people about where he stood. I also saw what those dumb asses paid him. They are out of their fucking minds and he would've been to turn it down. He better get results quick for that kind of coin.

I agree with this 100%

James Franklin does not have an “official” Penn State offer. I’ve been told by multiple people that he’ll accept offer if made.

Guy apparently works for foxsports.com and NBC radio in Tennessee 93k followers

 

[linebackeru]

USAToday chimes in

James Franklin would likely take Penn State job if offered

Smoke clouds getting bigger

 

[Ritzarmy]

My only question is why hasn't PSU offered Franklin the job yet? Is it because they were waiting till after LJ interviewed. I hope they told Franklin once we finish interviewing everyone we will extend a offer.

Even my dad (not up to date on anything) is hearing that Franklin is waiting for a offer so he can accept the job.

 

[SFNL]

I've read that the committee had to interview at least 5 candidates before making an offer. For all we know all of that may be done by now.

No "official" offer will be made till the details are worked out....in other words, if offered, its accepted immediately. Sounds like dotting i's/crossing t's now. Way too much smoke around it, from both sides.
