He may have had the desire - but I doubt if he had the opportunity (that would, obviously, require Lynn being willing to accept).
No "inside information" per se, and not definitive, but just one semi-informed reading of the tea leaves.

Should I order my Big Ten and National Championship tickets for next year now or wait?
Will be interesting to see what QB they pick up from the portal for 2026.
Is mendoza’s face too punchable for the NFL right now? Not punchable enough? Would another year of “college“ (
) help?I read/heard somewhere, maybe a Tengwall podcast, that if you looked on the sidelines on gamedays the returning lettermen that were coming back to visit were former Franklin era players, and not many players from eras before that were returning. I didn't notice this and watching on TV makes it tough to see who's on the sideline. The suggestion was that there was still a rift was there with the older lettermen, but no reason was given.
The King Mack comments about the leaked audio this week also suggest that there were issues in the locker room and with team leadership. Things seem messier than perhaps we were aware of. Hopefully Campbell can fix that.
I was impressed about how smart and tough they were. Yup - taking us back to those 77ish to 87ish teams

I think EVERY coach has said that - at one time or another
If Franklin was still around MeatCheatagin could be coachless for 10 months and he still would lose to them.
His game strategy and planning were pathetic as evidenced by his horrible big game record but you are right he mismanaged the roster. No linebackers, no physicality on the DLine equals crap pass rush. And he couldn't manage or lead the two coordinators he overpaid.
Actually it was Jay Bilas who coined the term , which the x and o guys as well as ground and pounder's hated him for it . But he was right
Not sure who said it first (I could see DKR saying it) but it sure as **** was not Jay ******* Bilas. Might as well have said Arch Manning or Sydney Sweeney said it
Manheim Township’s Ivey was a fast kid in HS. Hasn’t seen the field . There is talent on the roster . We need to get it on the field .
But we are used to the horizontal passing attack . Click to see Ken Meir full response .
The bowl game may be an audition
Mendoza winning the heisman was huge for Iu football next year. They already had the winning profile but now they may convince more high level guys to come over to win individual awards
No not yet but it's a struggle with his buyout. Could be though before long if they can't soon come to an agreement.
Delete. I was way behind on this thread.You could’ve waited another two minutes.
Never said that dude. Howard and Denmark showed some promise in limited time. Maybe Ivey can get some separation too.
From a national site. Lynn's issue is that USC wants PSU to pay the buyout, PSU is negotiating
for a lower buyout. In the meantime USC wants Texas's former DC Pete Kwiatkowski as their DC.
Bottom line from what i interpret Lynn could hold out, causing Pete K, to get another job, or SC
releasing the big buyout for Lynn. Everyone wins or loses.
It doesn't matter- It's like the national debt- just keep spending and let somebody figure it out in the future when we're dead.
I suppose we’re back to the drawing board for DC. We truly must not be able to afford the buyout, which makes sense as we’re carrying Franklin (renegotiated, but still significant) and Knowles already. It is concerning that we have not named a DC yet so close to the portal.
Yet, you’re still here bitching and moaning every day.
