LSU could do a lot worse actually. He is a solid coach, some questionable time managment in some games, but more than capable of running a program.

He did wonders for Vandy, so LSU shouldn't be much harder.

Why would LSU want Franklin? He’s an OK coach but that’s about it.

Would be a home run hire.

Apparently his people were already contacted by LSU, but the initial discussions didn’t go well. Franklin has a Top15 team still in the hunt for a Big10 title and playoff berth. He’s apparently very cautious that any discussions are behind closed doors.

9.5? But all I heard was that LSU didn't have the money to match Jimbo's contract..

It would be and would also be the exact splash hire that Woodward tends to make.

Not sure why people think he's not an excellent coach.

Right now his deal is 6/38.2 M (~6.4 per).

It'll take something like 8/64 M. It'll be less than 9.5, but not much.

You might want look back on Franklins time at Vandy to complete that thought.

Outside of two years to build them up and the Covid year, I'd say he's been very good. Sure 3rd or worse in 4 of the 7 years in his division, no playoffs, and a .500 bowl record, but that's not too bad.
