UK needs to put some serious money and commit heavily to getting Mike Leach back at UK. I respect what Coach Brooks did but Leach was the real mastermind behind UK's exciting offense in 1997-1998. I would love to see UK become the next Oregon but it won't happen in the SEC. I loved the high scoring late 90's teams and fans will get behind a fun team to watch. Yeah we had no defense then but it sure was entertaining to watch. Leach helped that team break almost every UK record and several SEC records as well. I hope he does not go to Ole Miss!

Ok, UK fan here, and I agree with the sentiment of this article. UK, is not some big dog in the world of football, but they have shown some flashes of growth here and there. Coach Brooks came here with UK on probation (no one would take the job then), and totally turned the program around. They have been to 5 straight bowls (Vandy has been to 4 in there entire history!) winning 3 of 5. UK is Top-25 in attendance every year, and is top-20 in profitability. Our facilities, while they are not up to 'Bama or Tennessee's standards, are a ton better then Vandy's, Heck, I mean even UK had a long winning streak against Vandy, before this years game.
Anyone that needs an example of a good coach that goes to a stalled program, can look at Spurrier at South Carolina. Before he went to S.C. they were extremely bad (look in the SEC's history and they are the 2nd worst in win-loss ratio). Spurrier has turned them around, and he was a more farfetched possibility then Franklin going to UK! I love Franklin, for he has taken the 2 and 3 stars that Vandy has, and has made them competitive with some of the best teams in the country (thats called development and preparation, Joker)! On top of that, he has a Top-25 recruiting class coming in that has a host of 4-Stars in it.
Uk would be smart to go after hi, but Joker will get 1 more year to disappoint, so this is a moot point.

How exactly has he reached the ceiling with Vandy when he has maybe the best recruiting class ever for Vandy coming in and a better than usual recruiting class that is mostly redshirting at this point?

It would be Vandy's 2nd bowl trip in 4 years.

A billion-dollar endowment has nothing to do with it, but I understand your point… He's already hit the ceiling at Vandy whether you choose to believe that or not. If he wins at UK for a few years, I expect him to leave UK and get a call from the big boys. How's a resume look if taking Vandy and UK to new heights look?

Vandy's billion dollar endowment says otherwise.

I wouldn't really call it a lateral move. Kentucky is by no means a power, but at the same time no one is shocked when they make a bowl game. Assuming Vandy gets 6 wins this year then that will be their 2nd bowl birth in the last 30 years.

Franklin could probably get paid more at UK as well. Like the author said, Vandy is as good this year as they've been in a good while and hardly anyone cares.

Kentucky is far from a dream job. Franklin would never leave Vandy for Kentucky; a lateral move at best.
