Yes, somewhat... But it will be muted as long as the Rams and the Raiders are halfway decent--and both appear to be for the moment.

Then there's the Chargers... They're like the Clippers. Even when they're good, nobody cares.
Funny you say that, because I have a friend that is from LA originally, he's lived in 3 different states over the last 20+ years and he's still a diehard Raiders fan.

It's weird to look back at his MSU run. On the one hand, it took five years to get them pretty good. On the other, do we think he would've just dropped back to 7-5 if he stayed. Or would he have kept going?
He took over a dumpster fire at MSU and flipped the script. He was recruiting at a high level snagging elite recruits like Jeff Smoker, Charles Rogers, Plaxico Burress, TJ Duckett, and Julian Peterson. That's just off the top of my head- and those guys were OMGEEERG FIVE STARZZZZ of their era. Everyone of them were big-time national recruits and would be considered "5 Stars" today. 

Is MSU recruiting like that right now? Have they been recruiting like that since he left? Hell no.

I think he would've kept it going, but I do know he got sick of being second fiddle in his own state to Michigan. I believe he's even spoken openly about this.

I don't think he would have kept going. Can't recruit to MSU like you can to LSU and Bama.
Never betting against Nick Saban when it comes to college football. He'd have figured it out imo.

You don't have to, since you're only playing Indiana and Rutgers.

Dan Patrick says James Franklin and USC have a mutual interest in the Trojans' head coaching job.  As far as I know Franklin has not refuted the rumor.

James Franklin?
My mistake.  Will correct above.  He looks like a Dennis.  The Auburn @ PSU line has moved a little towards Auburn.

I dunno the were some primo positions come open in the last few yrs and he didn't leave or wasn't asked.He's a PA. guy to and has established recruiting and H.S ties.The main campus is in the hood and the commute would be a deal breaker but stranger things have happened

Stability is important in a program. Can't keep firing coaches. Need 4-5 years to build and change culture. 

The transfer portal does no good in achieving this, unfortunately.
