Pretty good time to move back to your home state & get a massive raise, when you're gonna lose most of your defense from last year, and your HC is being actively recruited by multiple NFL teams.

Apparently he didn’t get along with Larry Johnson, still a wild move

Sounds like Ohio State may lose their coordinator as well. Chip Kelly to the Houston Texans as OC is a possibility.

I’m sure Chip doesn’t like the way the college game is these days.

Guess we're not the only team whose DC left for a lateral move...

Jags are pursuing him too

He better take the Texans job if he gets the chance. The Texans aren’t far off from making a run at the Super Bowl.

Franklin has been hitting with his coordinator hires, especially on DC last couple years

He would have been better off keeping Tom Allen at a lower price and investing in some good receivers. Their defense has never been the issue.
