Franklin should have had someone lined up first
- Thread starter IANit
- Start date
Personally, I'd rather he not rush. Huge decision. I do feel he will have someone soon.
Would have looked bad if it leaked prior to letting Mike go that he was shopping the job around.
Relax, he's got plenty of experience hiring offensive coordinators.
Jesus. He had two games to coach and needs to recruit. When do you think he should have hired the guy?
Acc, B10, SEC or NFL probably covers about 90% of coaches. Some coaches coach for 10 teams in 10 years, Do you think B12 and pac10 coaches only coach in one conference?
Someone very well may have accepted the role and is going through the background check now.
I personally wouldn't mind that. I mean, he knows the roster, great with the kids. I also feel that him and Howle are onto something.
However, if he was going to do that, I think he would have done it 2 or 3 days after the firing. We shall see.
Seider and Manny are first rate known commodities and have really made a positive impact on the program beyond just their positional responsibilities. Same applies to Terry Smith and Ty. If I were head coach, I would do anything to keep them if keeping them were possible. Then fill positions beneath them with young genuine solid up and comers that can communicate.
If all this failed, I would look to hire Lando, Bio Mass, Blair10 to take the program in another direction.... straight downward. lol
Moot point now, but I wasn't talking about shopping the job around as much as having a pretty good idea of who he would like to hire and a good idea that they would accept if the job comes open.
Who's to say he didn't? Depends on your definition of "a pretty good idea".
I'm impressed with what I've seen from him so far. It sounds like Leipold tried hard to keep him. I remember hearing negative things from fans of Okie State back when Yurcich was hired. I wrote it off as sour grapes, but maybe there was something to it. Yurcich wasn't really that bad an OC overall, but he didn't seem to adapt well.
He did have someone lined up. He probably forgot to send you a memo.
