Ive decided to go a different way on this. This is a case of the media twisting words again. I do not like franklin but i get what he is saying. He doesnt want to hire someone based soley on a resume, he wants to see what their personality is. You are only as good as those you surround yourself with. If you have a fat dumpy wife it probably reflects in how you coach. Its the same as if a coach prefers clean cut guys as opposed to dreds or whatever.

Obligatory franklin sucks, married to clay travis, vandy blows, GBO VFL!

the same skills are used to pick up women and 17yo boys? I'll have to trust JF on that one. This also sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen

They are his words and he will get sued over it IF he truly halds that as a standard for his hiring.

I though some of you would find this funny...

Vandy coach James Franklin is looking for a few hot wives | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo! Sports

Seems like ole Franklin is a bit of a creeper.

So now there are two games at the end of the year we need to score 70+ in. If T Bray is going to get 40 TDs this year, maybe 10 of them will be the last two weeks.

James Franklin's, so called success is due to Vanderbilt having a President/ Athletic Director, who has decided to make an effort to get Vanderbilt competitive.
David Williams, did not give that type of support to the coach from two seasons ago, nor did he give it to the one that at Vandy prior to that, even though, that coach took them to a bowl game and a victory in the bowl game.
It seems coincidental that David Williams, who is black, has now decided to get serious about Vandy athletics, when a black coach is hired. Seems to me that Franklin is NOT doing anything that any other college football coach would be able to do, when they have the support of the athletic director.
Any coach can accomplish what Franklin has done, when the past football coach recruited franklin's first team and when the university has decided to get serious about football. Of course, you would look good as a coach.
I am not impressed!!!! There is a reason that Maryland didn't fight very hard to retain Franklin, when Vandy came calling..... In due time, we will find out what Maryland already knows.

also, there is a huge difference in "thinking" one way about something and verbalizing your bias
