I'm alright with it, though I liked Franklin. It seemed like Dykes was kinda having some issues with TF and Franklin is a "my way or no way" kinda guy with his system. Dykes is well suited to run the offense if he wants to, look at the dynamite offenses he put up while at Tech and Arizona. He'll probably implement 3 point blocking rather than vertical set, for starters.
As to it being a step up, haha. There's no need for you to be making coaching jokes, Captain Kiffin/Senor Sark.
