Yes, Franklin has poor control over his players. Meanwhile half our team is doing hard time up in Folsom for racketeering and drug running.

Looks like Babers, Gundy, Brohm, and Fedora are out of our coaching search now. They all had CRAP games today again...

What I take from this game is UF lost to this young Michigan team in the opener and it was not that close!

The heck with Hardbalz and glad his azz was taken to the woodshed. Franklin is a good coach, but I'll leave it there. He knows what happened right before he left Vandy. He wasn't involved in the act itself, but he was throwing a big time blanket over it.

If this is true, is there a reason why he has received absolutely zero discipline for it? Art Briles was run out of college football on a rail for supposedly looking the other way on stuff like that.

Continue please with hard, factual evidence of him "throwing a blanket over it". Thanks.

Briles tried to stay put. Franklin bailed fast before anything really stuck.

And how does Saban do it? I saw his half time interview, he was pissed that his team was not performing to the standard and he even told the female reporter that he was having a hard time being nice to her. He out works almost everyone, he is a better coach than almost anybody, his assistants are held to a high standard, his players, and of course himself. Mac apparently either did not learn this or is too lazy to do it.

Not that associated with him, but if you really have your team where it should be such things would never be considered. Not that many teams are where I think they should be.

Yes not only from players but from the entire process, especially yourself. Mac does not appear to have learned this, or is lazy.

In another four weeks we will be happy with anyone who doesn't think the punter should be the MVP.

If they get blown out four times a year, Id definitely strike them from the list.

Franklin did it over one incident, Briles over years of incidents.

Oh please. These days you go to federal prison for life if you whistle at a pretty lady. There obviously wasn't any real evidence that he covered even one incident like this up, or not only would he not be coaching for PSU, he wouldn't be coaching anywhere.
