Oh No not again

I personally wouldn't especially make a play for Franklin.  I think he's a decent coach, but I think some are better for the main teams we're talking about.

Lane K. at Florida would be a hoot, like a mini-Steve reprise.
I'd take Franklin,that Lane is a dead end.

Franklin has a worse record than Dan Mullen over the same time period.

Kiffin has been ultra mercurial, no doubt, but he'd be fun at Florida.

This.
We don't need a HC who loses 4 games following every season he loses only 2.

We need an .800 HC.  I don't care who it is, but 2 losses should be the bad seasons for Florida.

apparently Mullen hated recruiting. Finebaum on ESPN floated the idea of Mullen as an NFL coach for the mere fact that the guy hates recruiting. I think Mullen is a heckuva offensive coach- but not much else. HC at Florida needs to be a guy that recruits his ass off and also cares about the defense too. 

Offensive head coaches are great- but they can't be one track mind and only care about that side of the ball. Looking at you RichRod.

Year - FL SOS - PS SOS
2018 - 10th - 16th
2019 - 10th - 9th
2020 - 5th - 26th
.
Pre-Mullen @ UF
2014 - 21st - 53rd
2015 - 17th - 54th
2016 - 16th - 12th
2017 - 45th - 5th

I guess you worded it carefully, but Florida tends to have the tougher schedule, with perma-crossover LSU and sometimes-good FSU OOC.    But I guess focusing on the divisional half of the schedule is fun.

I'd opine the Big Ten East of late has been stronger than the SEC East of late.

Mullen obviously wasn't fired for his record before this year, he was fired for the loss at Mizzou, in effect, the straw in other words.

They were in the SEC CG last season of course.

My LSU source says Napier to UF.  Let's see if he knows what he's talking about.

Mel Tucker contract: Michigan State takes risk overpaying its coach hoping to raise program's prominence - CBSSports.com

The reminds me of the conference expansion flurry, everyone had a desire to expand and they often weren't very choosy.  Now folks want to tie up their coach for a decade and they might regret it in a few years.  If Franklin or Tucker left their current jobs, I suspect the programs could find someone as good as they without too much challenge.

So you're saying Tucker is Rutgers?
