Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Playdo]

I'd rather have Ben Franklin than James Franklin

I hear he has... an electric offense.

 

[BigSteve09]

So the issue LAST time (2017) that we are willing to solve THIS time (2021) is the coach's buyout

Looking back on 2017 names:

Dan Mullen - hard to think he leaves UF
Greg Schiano - Yeah, no
Jeff Brohm - We WERE really close there, but I don't think he's considered a big dog
Mike Gundy - We were close, but come on
Dave Doeren - I don't think he's our big boy
Mike Leach - The buyout wasn't the issue there
Gruden - Nope
Petersen - no buyout now
Chip Kelly - no buyout then
Bob Stoops - no buyout now
Matt Campbell - HMMMMM
Kevin Steele - nope
Mel Tucker - not a big dog

If its Campbell, ISU will crucify him for all his recent loyalty tweets

You can ignore a lot of crying for 8 mil a year

Franklin is a great coach.

He knew rape was going on.

When confronted about the situation, he changed his story.

He’s an awful person.

 

[RikidyBones]

Or max exposure during a playoff game

It wouldn't interrupt a playoff game. No college would. It'll break tomorrow at 10am.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He is a winner

Don't care. Do you want a coach ok with rape? How about one that hides stabbings?

Yeah, you're right. He should be careful. He wouldn't want to infuriate their fanbase....all 6 of them.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Franklin is a great coach.

No he's not

 

[zjcvols]

Just reminding you folks that Franklin won 9 games at vandy


Franklin won 9 games at Vandy


Franklin won 9 games at Vandy

TWICE

talk about doing more with less

Yeah he’s even better at lying to his team and getting sued than coaching football games!

 

[ShreveportVol]

Of the 12 comments so far, 9 are Tennessee related lmao. That's vol twitter for ya

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Stoerner also said in the FF it should be TOMORROW

 

[windrider]

He is a winner

Still a POS.

 

[HankHill]

I. DONT. CARE. He can bring anyone he wants. Don't force anything

Totally agree

 

[hotcypress]

I think James Franklin is a low character guy, but looking at his hire from a strictly football lens, it's a huge win.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

It is Nick Rolovich of Washington State. The reason we paid so much despite his limited success is because Nick promised he’d bring their QB with him. Kid with a lot of upside.

Good one.

[Deebowbear]

Who?

Campbell

 

[White Bread]

I’d pay attention to Twitter and player tweets. If DW has his way, the team will find out first.

I listened to Chris Low on the Nation tonight.

Based on what he is hearing, he would rule out Kiffin and Freeze. That was the clearest message from his discussion.

AP asked him who the "home run" candidate would be, and the first name he said was James Franklin. Long discussion of what he would bring to the table.

Next mentioned was Campbell, but said he didn't think he would leave the Midwest, very short mention.

Next discussed at length was PJ Fleck, really talked him up.

Briefly namechecked Billy Napier.

Lastly went on for some time about Tony Elliott.

Now it's worth mentioning that he never said "I am hearing these names" when discussing Franklin, Fleck, and Elliott, like he did when ruling out Freeze and Kiffin. But to the extent we believe Chris Low may be real plugged into this search, those three seem to be the most likely. I hope my reading of the tea leaves is wrong and we get hit with the swerve of Matt Campbell.

So when DW asked for positive vibes, he didn’t really mean to Choose Joy?

Mercy

You can’t seriously jump from
The facts to saying “he’s ok with rape”

Gods lord almighty

 

[Weezer]

He is a winner

He's a POS human being.

 

[Orangeslice13]

It wouldn't interrupt a playoff game. No college would. It'll break tomorrow at 10am.

Nobody with any sense could blame a guy for taking a lottery winning ticket. Surely those idiots don't think they could keep him forever..
