Rumor has it that Florida would come after Franklin.

Florida is a different animal. If UF is willing to buy him mercenaries every year through the portal, he can probably bring them back to relevancy fairly quickly. If he has to recruit it from the ground up, good luck with that. Miami is surging and central and northern florida get raided by the other SEC schools plus FSU and Clemson.
Good for them. Why do we post this stuff every single year. Dear lord.
Yep. He’d get like 3-4 years to be competing with and occasionally beating Georgia, Florida State, Tennessee, LSU, Texas A&M, and Texas before they’d decide to move on.
That's a false argument that used to be somewhat true, but not anymore. Every kid that has ever followed any sport knows there is no guarantee that the coach will be there for their duration.
Duh. Kraft should hire Andy Reid. For f*ck’s sake.
All Kraft has to do is tell Andy about Wing Nite at Pickles and Cheesesteak special at Champs… Reid would dump the Chiefs in a NY minute!
Big Game James doesn't like the pressure cooker nature of PSU so he's going to move out of his home state to a school that is more of a pressure cooker?
That's fallacy or if someone actually uses it than it's stupidity. If anyone believed that in the past 15 years than Jimbo's abrupt exodus from A&M and Lincoln Riley's run to USC should have made it clear to all those who were still confused. The Portal is the final straw in this argument, as now the kid can go to any school that will have him without penalty. Before the portal kids were trapped if their coach left or was fired, but no more, and they know it.
And that’s the rub. Florida is a 4-year gig for Franklin. Tops. And there would be major pressure to turn things around fast. Imagine the first time he farted away a game vs Georgia or Tennessee or Bama. Meltdown mode.
There was a time when I actually hoped PSU would escape major Sandy Barbour collateral damage. Then the 10-year extension came.Sandy on her way out after letting Franklin and his agent con Penn State into a 10 year extension while he was 7-4 (finished 7-6) in 2021:
The woman is grossly incompetent. Like all-time caliber incompetence.
ro, Kliff’s gf strolling campus wouldn’t be that bad.

The BOT is completely incompetent - see 2011 - present.
Just more reason to hate T
osu. If PSU beats Tosu, Franklin is a hot commodity. uf sh|tcans napier, and Franklin is house hunting in Gainesville.If Allar just runs three yards, we are better. For f*ck’s sake.
A vote of confidence from the AD. All that means is they are sharpening the knives.
$26 million buyouts tend to make AD's see the good in coaches...
Yep. And $26M was just for Napier. There would be additional costs for his entire staff (the amount dependent upon how their contracts were worded), and then the costs of a new coach and staff.
I heard McElroy today and he said he believes coaches this year will be brought back because they want to save their money for NIL instead of buyouts. He also said that he expects a salary cap for players at some point.$26 million buyouts tend to make AD's see the good in coaches...
uf-Franklin contract clause:
“You may not call plays at any time during a game. You may not wear a headset at any time during a game.”
Why not just leave him in the locker room and lock the door
The Florida AD announced a new program to upgrade from their recent 5th and 6th place SEC finishes to permanent 3rd place status behind any two of Georgia, Alabama and LSU. Franklin is the obvious choice to implement such a plan.
McElroy is an idiot. There will never be a salary cap on NIL. That is settled law in the highest court in the land. They (schoools, conferences, ncaa, whoever) can control revenue sharing but NIL just like the NFL players earning money off the field is private enterprise and capitalism. No cap, ever.
The NFL salary cap has taken a historic leap for the 2024 season.
The league announced on Friday that the salary cap will be $255.4 million per club in 2024.
The figure marks an unprecedented $30-plus million rise over last season's cap, which totaled $224.8 million.
correct, now
but with no rules anymore, how long will it be before schools openly just start paying players directly?
Who would pass on 2 lbs of scrapple??? They don't deserve success.
Eh - put him to work. Put a cocktail in his hand, send him up to the suites, and let him schmooze with the boosters and cheer on the team.
