Your friend is growing a Coreopsis.

looks more like a Gaillardia to me too

After Daisyl said Coreopsis I checked and it looks like a Coreopsis but it is larger in size and the red is more of a blended change to the yellow. I checked some images on Google and the pics there pointed me to Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata Sunrita).

Including photos of the leaves and the entire plant is always helpful. I agree, on second look, it does look like Gaillarida.
