What makes him a better candidate than Fickle or Kiffin or Jimbo?

Too much rapey baggage from vandy and the quintessential car salesman personality


Hopefully he’s the Casey of this search

Fickle would be great but he is not coming, Jimbo and Kiffen have no integrity, we been thru these clowns for too long.

He's not my favorite, but we could certainly do worse. He's won consistently at Penn State, and what he did at Vandy is nothing short of remarkable.

I think the Vandy rapes will exclude him.

I think it's more likely that he ends up at USC instead of LSU. The USC HC job requires a little bit of showmanship and Franklin seems like a good fit out there. He would do well at either.

Well he’s got a better winning percentage and less baggage than Kiffin. He’s had much more experience and success at P5 schools (including an incredible job at Vandy) than Fickle.

Jimbo might be a better option, but would he do it and what would it cost to do so?

Not my first choice but we could do a hell of a lot worse than Franklin, he’d be a big upgrade. What makes him worse to you?

I think Franklin would kill it here.

Franklin has been a successful HC at a major football program. Kiffin has never been anything other than mediocre.
