Obviously there is a TON of settling to be done, you can't make a judgement on a coach being a true upgrade in the first year unless they win 3-4 more games than the previous year OR get a bowl/playoff win, but Florida looks to have done very well with their hire.

I agree, it's more of the fact that Penn State eliminated options that could have potentially helped them. Especially since they dragged their feet so much on the hiring process.

[u/deptofnahmsayns → u/surgingchaos]

They tried to win the coaching cycle and because they were first to market a lot of the potential hires got big assurances from their current schools before the season ended.

I get why they had to fire Franklin when they did but maybe they could have landed a higher profile before another AD had time to lock things down.

UCLA has already surpassed their win total from last year lol, obviously we are not as big of a program as Florida but relatively speaking the switch was just as much of a home run

[u/johneaston1 → u/Boomhauer_007]

If we win this weekend we'll have matched our win total from last year too

[u/Docnoq → u/johneaston1]

We already have matched our win total from last year, we went 4-8 last year. This week is our chance to surpass it

[u/Herewego27 → u/johneaston1]

We went 4-8 last year, and we're already at 4-0 to match our wins from laat year. A win today puts us a 5-0.

As of right now, Florida looks like the best team in the country (to me anyways)

[u/Jackson3125 → u/Captain_Nipples]

Smart not to watch the Georgia game last week. It wouldn’t have been good for your mental health.

OU handed them most of their points. Even Kirby admitted that
