Franklin would have failed faster because he isn't a good coach.Pat Forde is the worst sports writer in America, and that is an impressive accomplishment given the amount of shit out there.
His statement about the hire isn't that ridiculous if its true. If a big part of the Texas job is stroking off rich oil guys and doing what you can to make the Longhorn Network successful, then Strong won't be happy there and Texas won't be happy with him there. Winning does fix everything, but it can turn Rich Rodriguez on you real fast if he doesn't turn it around in 2 seasons.
Franklin would have been a better hire, but I wouldn't put this in the terrible category. It's very OK.
I do agree, the risk of Strong is he isn't savvy regarding boosters, but if he wins it won't matter. Being savvy with boosters only helps for so long if the results aren't there though, see: Mack Brown.
