Franklin has a medium-to-low ceiling. We will win 8-10 games consistently but will never rival the likes of Bama and Georgia in the conference. We need a high ceiling coach. The Franklin excitement blows my mind in this regard. He runs an outdated offenses which will not cut it in the SEC.

Franklin is black Les Miles without the championship.

I promise to agree, can we just give the Franklin threads a rest of the day. Or maybe state your case in any of the other dozen or so Franklin melt threads.

So you’re saying he will average the same yearly wins at LSU as he did at Vandy.

Franklin won 18 games at Vandy in a 2 yr period. 18 games AT VANDY. No coach in Vandy history had ever done that..

SIAP: anyone remember this quote from Franklin while at Vanderbilt?

LINK

“ "I've been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen his wife. If she looks the part, and she's a D-1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That's part of the deal.”

Seems especially douchey, just saying.

I don’t understand why any LSU fans want this clown.

Neither do I. I almost bought some of the hype as well, but his offense is uninspiring. And now people are making excuses he doesn't have QBs. Gee, whose fault is that?

That's great what he did at Vandy, but Penn St is probably ready to see him leave.

Franklin can be great in the proper environment. The Stanfords' of CFB. Great as in consistently top 15

It would just be LSU hiring another former Vandy coach. the last one lost his last game 65-0 before we hired him. LSU struggles with this, often thinking paying a lot of money fixes everything. It doesn't. LSU needs energy, enthusiasm, imagination and good coaching genes and history. I am afraid we are going to put 'wokeness' at the top of our needs, and that will bury us for another five years and 50 million dollars. LSU has proven to not be very smart and I am not confident that Woody can change that mentality or even if he wants to.
