Franklin coaches the spread, it's not like he uses the power I. And he was an sec top 10 recruiter and a qb developer who had three qb's under his tutiledge who led the sec in passing.
Far better upside!!!

He coaches a far different version of the spread offense.

And no he has never been a top sec recruiter. Kentucky never did that great on the recruiting trail. And he never called plays at Kentucky, even when Leach was there Mumme called the plays. And Franklin never coached QB'S at Kentucky.

Check your facts you are emphatically wrong!
He was ranked top 10recruiter at Kentucky ( not an easy task) while at Kentucky prior to going to his temp stop at aubbie!

Can everyone just stop picking your hopefuls? Completely baseless hopefuls? You're all just going to be sorely disappointed and have a negative bias towards whomever we hire because we didn't go with your guy. Just let this play out. State the names when people of the media or TOS mention them

He didn't coach Couch. He coached running backs. And he never called plays. Leach was the oc and Mumme called the offense

I would like experience calling plays. Sec pressure cooker is no place to learn on the job. Also, I would like someone that would be happy to be here for a while, not moving on like an ambitious coach might. Factor in familiarity with Butch and it almost makes Debord seem like a good hire if that's what he chooses. Not gonna be happy or sad either way because won't know if whomever he chooses is any good til this time next year anyway.

It's simple fact. Franklin wasn't the OC until Couch went to the NFL. Leach was the OC, and Franklin was the running back coach. But Mumme always called the offense.

That's one of the big reasons Leach left to go to Oklahoma, so that he could call plays.

Franklin never coached qbs at kentucky, and even as oc he didn't call plays.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

Your ignorance is pathetic. Show me where it says he coached qbs?

He wasn't even the oc when Couch was there.

Quoted from his bio:
Franklin was previously the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator of the Auburn University football team, before being fired from that position on October 8, 2008.[1] Franklin is known for his expertise in the spread offense and for developing quarterbacks. Under his guidance, quarterbacks Tim Couch, Dusty Bonner, and Jared Lorenzen each led the SEC in passing, with Couch becoming the first player selected in the 1999 NFL Draft.
Next argument?

Look up top at his coaching history. 1997-99 running backs coach.

Couch was drafted in 99.
2000: oc/wr coach

I guess you know better than the experts. He got the oc position and has better stats than us bc of fraudulent accolades!

What experts? The idiots who credit a running back coach with developing Couch?

If you call that expert info, then yes I do know better than them because Mike Leach was coaching the quarterbacks.

We don't run the air raid. I've never said Franklin wasn't a great coach. I said he didn't coach Couch and that he wasn't a good fit for our offense.

Franklin spent four campaigns on the football staff at Kentucky from 1997-2000 following 16 seasons as a high school football coach. During his tenure at Kentucky, the Wildcats enjoyed unprecedented success on the offensive side of the ball, setting several NCAA, SEC and school records. After coaching running backs for the first three seasons, Franklin was named offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for the 2000 campaign and led the Wildcats to success as the nation's second-best passing offense as well as the country's 11th-best team in total offense.

Franklin's two-back combinations at Kentucky outgained any two-back combinations in the SEC in total yards from scrimmage for three straight seasons. Quarterbacks Tim Couch, Dusty Bonner and Jared Lorenzen each led the SEC in passing during their time as Kentucky quarterbacks, and Couch was the first player selected in the 1999 NFL Draft. Several other UK players reached their goals of making NFL teams after their experience in the high-powered offense.

Franklin was also named one of the top 10 recruiters in the South during his four years at Kentucky as he helped lead the Wildcats to their first back-to-back bowl appearances in 15 seasons in 1998 and 1999, including their first New Year's Day Bowl game appearance in 47 years against Penn State in the Outback Bowl following the end of the 1998 campaign.

Franklin also spent one season in 2003 as the general manager and head coach of the Lexington Horsemen of the National Indoor Football League, successfully leading the team to a first-round playoff game and a 9-5 regular-season record as an expansion franchise in its inaugural season. The team paced the Atlantic Division in scoring, averaging 53.1 points per game.

Terrible fit!
You win.... I'm out I have two week old Vol fan to take care of.
