People said the same about the spread offenses of guys like Urban Meyer and Gus Malzahn. And what his "jump ball style of football" is doing at Memphis is pretty damn impressive regardless of how it's happening. He took a 4-8 team in year one and made them 10-3 with a top 25 ranking for the first time in a decade in year three and is currently undefeated so far (though he'll lose this week most likely.) What he has done at Memphis, and the fact he's done it so quickly, is more impressive than Franklin at Vandy compared to where they were when they started, the school's history, and the conference.
Because people forget that Franklin's first roster had 49 red shirted players on it, and the majority were red shirted sophomores/juniors, so he won the bulk of his games with older kids the previous staff left him compared to guys like Butch or Fuente who are doing it with younger talent.
