I totally believe they went through the list, got a bunch of noes, and have gone back to throw more money at Franklin rn, and i am not a fan of that spazz at all. but if it's our only option i'll watch him blow big games for a while until it implodes.

Nothing about James Franklin says integrity. He comes off as a complete ass. Not looking forward to this hire.

Wait till he wins 10/11 games 3 of 5 years, gets us to Atlanta and maybe the playoffs. You’ll be slinging that credit card so fast for hotel rooms and game tickets it’ll look like you’ve got a broke wrist. 😛

My man, we live in a world where certain mainstream news sources and government investigators took a piece of troll work fanfiction and not only ran it as true news but made it part of a large government investigation. That wasn't a sign of the times to you?

All I'm saying is if that's true then we are kidding ourselves that any of this matters at all.

The Lincoln Riley/Ryan Day examples are utter nonsense. For one, they didn't take over a program they'd never coached at. Second, their programs weren't facing NCAA sanctions. Three, they don't coach in the SEC. Four, they took over programs after big names (Stoops and Meyer respectively) retired--or "retired" in Meyer's case. Five, they don't have to recruit against the likes of UGA, Bama, Florida, A&M, etc., they can simply go in the next county over and pick up a dozen 5 stars, TN cannot do this.

It's easy to say "well look here are some examples of coaches that did great and were coordinators before being a head coach!" But those circumstances are vastly different, as was the shape of their program at the time they took it over compared to TN's currenwt state.

Well name me a p5 a successful yea successful head coach that’s taking this job. Don’t know if any that took over a job with serious ncaa violations.

Yep. Any decent lawyer is gonna say up front.......zip it and let me do the talking. In this case everybody shoulda just played dumb and say "I have no idea what you're talking about." I actually think the NCAA not only expects that but in a weird way appreciates it.

Now the Mims case, for instance, regardless if any money changed hands just spin it as though, "Well that's just typical UGA bs trying to make us look bad or getting even for Mays filing a lawsuit against them." I've yet to see a case where a school penalizes themselves in an effort to minimize NCAA sanctions and get much leniency. I think their compliance dept. is over-whelmed and they just can't make fair/unbiased decisions.

I'm at least happy to hear the names of coaches that have competed in the SEC. I'd take Chizik or Franklin over 90% of the name's I have heard on here.

Which is why admitting to the sanctions in public was an idiotic idea. It would have been much easier in the long run to pay Pruitt out and start fresh with a new coach. The NCAA has never shown any rhyme or reason to their punishments and cooperating may not do anything to soften the blow. We have shot ourselves in the foot yet again with stupidity. Not only is our program a train wreck, we now have the NCAA hovering over us. It is comical.

Agree. NCAA is probably saying I guess they want the death penalty? They saved all this money and they cannot get a coach to take this job now bc of their actions.

Well seeing how it hasn't been filled yet, we don't really know anything at the moment, and my name isn't Danny White, I can't really do that ;)
