Yeah another safety would be good to get. Still some goods ones left. But I'm a huge Franklin fan. HOMER!
Decent chance?
Right, a decent chance allows a guy a third year to get it right. He he doesn't right the ship after an early slip like Kiffin SR did, you fire him mid steam....
I'm thinking he goes after that Az State game last year, but y'all kept him through he season.
Are you talking about Monte or Lane on the 3rd year? Monte was the DC for 3 full seasons and as I said the defense got worse each season.
As for Lane, it's different deal because of the sanctions. I think he is getting a 4th year for 2 reasons:
1.) His first 2 seasons were just fine, 8-5 in his first season and also being the first year of sanctions is fine and 10-2 season before last was great. Plus, he kept his idiot mouth shut and didn't do anything stupid. Last year was an obvious clusterfuck and likely would have cost him his job if he hadn't performed well in the first 2.
2.) It'll be much easier to attract a high quality coach if he only has to deal with 1 season of schollie reductions instead of 2.
Stedman Baily??? WTF
Kiffin Senior
Not sure how many more seasons he should get. Either way, he wasn't fired (even Lane isn't that big of a douche), he resigned (probably mutual agreement).
Bottom line, he just couldn't or wouldn't adjust to the spread offenses.
