Damn. Wish they would have kept him.

 

[OrangeWave2]

The fear here is do they get James Franklin? It's no secret that Lane Kiffin has been after it or Saban coming out. I do not like this news.

 

[#1fulmerite]

Everyone knew it was coming.

 

[GreveHaller]

he deserved an extension

 

[Volador]

Heard there was a plane carrying someone w initials JG near Gville....

It has definitely been a secret that Kiffin is after the Florida job. Literally no one has linked him to wanting that job outside of Florida boosters wanting to target him. It’s amazing how scared people are of Kiffin at a rival schools but at the same time say he’s overrated.

Franklin would be homerun hire for Florida.

They won't take Franklin. He coaches the same 2yds and a puff of dust offense that Billy Nap coaches...thats not Florida football.

They are about to make Alex Golesh the highest paid man in the state of Florida.

Golesh might be luckiest guy if Auburn also follows suit and cans Freeze.

He also owns land in FL!

 

[djwes]

Saban never coming back, why on earth would he want to give up golf and a great job in college football without the stress of managing a team?

Franklin would be a good pick up for Florida.

Alex G would be a great hire for a team as well.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Never understood the hire to begin with. Dan mullen was a much better coach

I just wonder where they turn to next?

My list:

1. James Franklin
2. Dabo Sweeney
3. Gus Malzahn
4. Alex Golesch
5. Nick Saban

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Not the news we wanted. They will be playing better when we play them. And as usual, Heupel will be playing checkers while the interim is playing chess.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

No way I would take Franklin. He is an arrogant prick who hasn’t beaten anyone when it counted!!

 

[volfan102455]

Glad we are not the one playing against the Interim coach for the first game. Georgia gets that honor in two weeks.

If Saban ever does come back, I'm not sure he would want to come back to the SEC. Just so competitive

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

I could see both UF and AU going after Golesh and looks like UF beat AU to the deal. Don't see Franklin as that hot of a commodity especially with his high salary demands.

 

[volfan102455]

Not the news we wanted. They will be playing better when we play them. And as usual, Heupel will be playing checkers while the interim is playing chess.

At least we get the benefit of seeing what the interim will change in three games before we play them.

Jarrett Guarantano ?

Maybe we need to go for James Franklin

 

[IndianaVol]

Exactly why Florida needs to hire him !!!
Can our boosters throw in cash to make that happen ??

 

[GreveHaller]

Maybe we need to go for James Franklin

he doesnt look like he likes hot weather

 

[IndianaVol]

Maybe we need to go for James Franklin

And have a WORSE record against top 25 teams???

 

[volfan102455]

My list:

1. James Franklin
2. Dabo Sweeney
3. Gus Malzahn
4. Alex Golesch
5. Nick Saban

The first one was fired. The second one may not survive the year and has shown he doesn't have a clue with the NIL / portal. Saban has made it clear he doesn't like what is happening with the NIL / portal.

 

[connor]

Yeah there were rumors earlier this week that he was gone after Saturday win or lose.
