Looks like Louisville made an offer to PEtrion - BostonCard - 01-08-2014
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10263027/louisville-cardinals-offer-job-bobby-petrino
And by the looks of things, Petrino is likely to accept. Good luck to them, in the words of Gregg Easterbrook, when you hire a coach who is only in it for themselves, you get a coach who is only in it for themselves:

(of course, we all know what happened in Arkansas...)

The scenario I'm worrying about now is Franklin to Penn State, and Vandy hiring Mason. The fit is good because of the academics there.

Penn State - BostonCard - 01-08-2014

Some interesting stuff there... first that Penn State is going after Greg Roman. Second that Franklin may have interviewed at Penn State but turned them down.

Thanks. Now I have something else to keep me awake.

Franklin leaving Vandy would be one of those danger situations. On one hand -- strictly in a selfish sense -- we want Vandy to be bad (just as we'd also like Duke, N.D., and UCLA to falter relative to their current status). On the other hand, they might well hire Mason. So, you know, risk and reward.

So, you know, risk and reward.How many recruits do we lose to Vandy and how often do we play them? I worry more about UCLA, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, the top B1G schools (Penn State, Michigan) and maybe Cal as programs who we lose recruits to, and frequently play. Vandy and Duke I don't worry about much.

Strictly selfishly, I'd like to add USC, Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, USC, UW, WSU, USC, Oregon, Michigan State, Florida State, Auburn, USC, Oregon State, South Carolina, Missouri, Oklahoma, USC, Clemson, Ohio State, Baylor and USC to that list. Also if kal were a teensy bit worse, I wouldn't shed a tear.

Over the last 20-40 years they have not been good, but if they get a string of winning seasons Stanford fans would discover a new worry that would hurt because proximity to home is a powerful recruiting tool.

Supposedly Vanderbilt's offering James Franklin a contract for 10! years! 50! million! dollars! https://twitter.com/TravHaneyESPN/status/421704405768212480
Has a Jeff Tedfordy feel about that contract.
