North Carolina - that is if Bill is gone

Va Tech - I think he would be a good fit there

Auburn - If they get rid of Freeze

Mich State - if they part ways with Smith

Florida - would they want him there?

Anywhere else or not coaching at all?

Vtech I guess

M State,,, he's got Big 10 experience,e but you'd be admitting that you're a second-tier Big Ten program if you rehired Penn State's cast offs

He could return VTech to the glory days of 10 wins a year. That was fun when Vtech was a player every year back in late 90s-mid 2000s

Suspect he is VTs top choice and would be a home run for them. Suspect Franklin will try holding out for a bigger job though

UNC is probably a better job than Va Tech and would be a good spot for Franklin.

I dont think a top tier SEC school takes him, their fanbases would be pissed

Franklin is dull but Auburn needs some stability there, it’s been a revolving door there

I don't know how I'd feel. An SEC team going 10-2 should almost always make the expanded playoff.
At the same time though there would be a lot more of those "Franklin always loses equal or superior talent" games in the SEC than the Big 10.

There would be a lot more games where he doesn’t have equal or superior talent also

Dude can coach, I think he'd do well at UNC. I think Pedo St is gonna regret this, I wanna see Nebraska 2.0

Franklin could do the funniest thing and hire his DC that he had at Vandy and Penn State to coach under him at VT

It baffles me that people want this scum as their coach.

Franklin is not bringing his 1-18 record against ranked teams to Auburn where he has to play 6-7 ranked teams a year



Not going to happen

Franklin and Penn State have hammered Virginia and tidewater region in recruiting for year and basically starved VA Tech of their talent lifeblood.

He knows that area extremely well and would do well there. Probably win 7-9 games per year there. I think the Hokies would love that now.

Franklin and Fla would bring back the Murder and crime gators without the trophies.
