15 coaches were ranked worse than James Franklin.
That statement really surprises me.
But check this out: 15 BIG TEN coaches were ranked worse than James Franklin.
Only 2 are better than James Franklin.

Now, whoever wrote this article doesn't realize that James Franklin couldn't coach his team to a win over Ohio State when given double-digit leads in the fourth quarter. I think he just ranked the teams in the conference and then played around with the ranking a little. Just a little.

Every time I see his name, I still cannot believe Mike Locksley has a job.

I guess we shall see. Some think Drevno may become the Raiders OL coach, because of his relationship with Chip.

I thought Fessler has been at OSU for a couple years, and coached Stroud. IDK

i think he was a GA at ohio state during fields / stroud. but he was kelly's qb coach at ucla.

looking back, though, on his cv, it could be that he's a joe moorehead guy more than anything (miss st, akron, penn state).

It’s an interesting discussion point. On one side, it could be used as a litmus test for priorities with a potential for insight into cultural fit. On the other side there also needs to be recognition that there are MANY instances of these kids who are in situations where the NIL now is meaningfully important and if a kid has talent, relying on the fact that they would be found.

While it’s disappointing to lose a kid to a situation where we get outbid, I don’t know that I could paint all situations with the same brush.

I mean, it's not 100% everybody. But these are 17-18 year old kids. A program like MD can flash a few hundred grand more & more often than not likely get the kid. Prestige, recent success, etc. doesn't mean as much as the mighty $ to kids who (mostly) didn't grow up rich.

Bryce Underwood being the prime example. He expressed zero interest in going to scUM. None. LSU has just recently produced two of the best QBs in the NFL. Then, suddenly, scUM puts together a bag and he's all Skunkbear.

It's a new world. I think we're wading into unprecedented parity. Also-run programs like SMU and any number of traditional also rans will be able to cobble together playoff caliber rosters stocked with top recruits if their supporters have deep enough pockets.
