Goat time to be a great HC though, so many openings at top schools or if you stay at your school get a big azz raise

James Franklin licking his chops


Penn St
Florida
VA Tech
UCLA
Arkansas
Oregon State
Oklahoma state
Stanford

Florida state and wisky prob soon


On the Flip side every coach hired will face unrealistic expectations. The landscape is different with the NIL so expecting this schools to have years stretch of dominance like the past might be tough.

True but as long as you have good NIL money all you have to do is buy a quarterback, duke spent 4 mill on mensah etc. etc.

all these garbage teams have garbage qb play, whens the last time oregon developed a qb? Justin Herbert and he was from there, Went from anthony brown to bo nix to dillion gabriel to dante moore all $$$$

did you see hte garbage wisky had out there yesterday? an upper tier qb is good alone for 6-7 wins

Vanderbilt is good because they bought pavia
indiana is good because they bought rourke last year and bought mendoza this year

Few coaches can win the big one, but getting a guy like franklin is he's proven he can win at two schools before NIL and now with NIL.

florida gators haven't won more than 8 games in a season in 6 years
va tech not since 2017
I've laughed at Franklin for years but he'd be a godsend for Florida. They would go on their best run since Meyer if he was their coach.

They're not giving a black coach the time of day lol. They have insane expectations in the SEC and wouldn't tolerate Franklin winning 8-10 games, not winning the SEC, not winning big games, etc.

This was not true, and one of the main reasons why the trigger was pulled quick. He clearly did not want to be at Florida anymore and that's why I'll hate that fakkit more than Billy, even though Billy was a much worse coach on gameday.
UF was his dream job. Idk if any if that nfl talk was legit but I wasn’t buying it.

Definitely.

I feel like Franklin & PSU was both tired of each other and needed to part ways.

But with Mullen I think he still wanted to be there and the trigger was pulled too quick in the middle of an anomaly of a downyear.

Mullen had the same ego problem Billy had. Just like how Billy refused to hire an OC, Dan Mullen refused to fire Todd Grantham as defensive coordinator. By the time he fired him, it was way too late and he had lost control of the team.

Dan Mullen is a grown man capable of leading a P5 program. Billy is not.
