Franklin made Vandy a tough out for sure. Back then there were 3 coaches overachieving in the SEC East. James Franklin at Vandy, Steve Spurrier at South Carolina, and Gary Pinkel at Missouri. Those 3 coaches made Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida have down years.

My biggest what if is if Urban Meyer had stayed at Florida. All those SEC Championship Games Between Saban's Alabama and Meyer's Florida would have been epic.

Too much stress. Meyer is a great recruiter and a solid game day coach but he can't handle the stress of big time college football for long stretches of time.

Look at his stay at Ohio State. Great the first few years when they were walking over everyone on the schedule. Then, while still winning a ton of games every year, that started to change. The goober aged in dog years and bailed out.

Florida is more stressful than Ohio State. He never could have lasted that long there.
