Giger: James Franklin to USC would make sense

James Franklin's name will be mentioned as a candidate for the USC job.ALTOONA, Pa. -- I'll cut to the chase here: I have long thought it would make sense for James Franklin to be the next coach at USC, once the school finally moved on from Clay Helton.

Well, USC fired Helton this afternoon. So, let the rumor mill and speculation begin, just like it has the past couple of years when Helton came under fire for his struggles with the Trojans.

I'm writing this about 20 minutes after the Helton news broke, and already the two names being thrown out there for the USC job are the two names that do make the most sense: James Franklin and Urban Meyer.

Either would be a good hire for USC.

Would Meyer…
