When uga fired richt for the exact same reason as this, was smart 'proven' to be better ? No. The point is that richt had to go. So does Franklin...dont prolong the inevitable.

Does the Penn State opening get coaches paid like the LSU opening did in 2021?

Truly shocking. Michigan State should get in touch with his agent.

I mean I agree but who is out there that they are guaranteed to get that is definitely an upgrade. It’s a risky move.

Elite coordinators lying in wait are considered to be on the market.

My question stands.

Kirby was a known commodity waiting for an elite job. There is no Kirby equivalent right now.

Guess you missed the 1994 team that went undefeated. The only reason they weren’t awarded the MNC that year was so the voters could give Tom Osborne his lifetime achievement award. If they were allowed to play Nebraska that year they would have easily beat them.

Who is an elite coordinator at a big school now? Nobody really jumps off the page. Blake Baker. I wouldn’t roll those dice though.

If anything this shows that a successful coordinator should think twice about taking a job like that.

To be a Kirby you need to be more than that, IMHO. You have to be the clear-cut #2 for a long period of time of an elite program. There are none that I can think of right now.

I don't understand firing him now. No coach worth a damn is leaving his team this week and any coach they want now has a long arse window to negotiate with their current team.

The last one I guess was Venables (sp) under Dabo and he wasn’t a slam dunk.

100%

If they're going that route, who are they going to target? Matt Patricia?
