Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[KPT_VFL]

I do not want James Franklin.

 

[Headvol]

Who sent the tweet about Fleck staying at Minn?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Again, based on clues given by @Atlanta VOL, and with what @Stoerner Fumbles just said, I think it’s referring to...Matt Campbell.

AV said:

1. “He’s over the moon”. Matt Campbell used to coach at Toledo before taking the Iowa St. job. Toledo is...the ROCKETS!

2. He said there “isn’t enough head room” on one of the planes. I don’t know how tall Matt Campbell is, but he looks like he’s 6’3 or 6’4”.

 

[VFL1993]

Nope

That makes me think the players already know who the next coach is.

 

[Bigworm87]

Id take Franklin in a second. Let's not forget most of yall would take Briles as OC when we were on the hunt.

To be fair, Briles was cleared of everything im pretty sure.

 

[Bigorange123]

Vandy seconds? Not gonna do it.

 

[KB5252]

Why do we think Low is going to break anything? Thamel is the one that broke the firing and Wolken broke the AD hire

Known insider says he is plugged into the right channels.

 

[RikidyBones]

Ubben covers up killing merking folks too? The Athletic is messy!

He sells bootleg cigarettes to elementary school kids. This is known

Someone I’m about to clothesline.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Where’s the story on this? Honest question, haven’t heard anything about this and feel like it would’ve come up in the penn state background checks if there was anything substantial to it.

Penn State football: Ex-player sues, alleges violent, sexual hazing
Penn State football: Former team doctor sues James Franklin, university
Former Vandy coach James Franklin testifies, changes story in rape case
ESPN report: James Franklin told a Penn State player not to report a fight involving Micah Parsons

8 mill a year. Campbell wants to bring his whole staff. AV said to expect a total clean house for football even Steele gone. Could it be Campbell?

 

[Weezer]

I think the caveat was if the story about Baylor using him as a scapegoat was true. As in he didn't have knowledge but was used to take the fall.

 

[Rishvol]

Of course they announce on a lab day...

 

[BruinVol]

Embellishing? He flat out lied to them about it.

And he’s been sued twice in the last 18 months for his conduct! Come on dude.

Yea lie=embellishment

yes he lied to his team to get their attention about getting their **** in gear

All coaches have done that at this level

 

[RikidyBones]

Does James Franklin have any red flags? Anyone have links?

 

[Dudleys87]

Penn State would thank us.
the fans too

 

[NochNoch]

He sells bootleg cigarettes to elementary school kids. This is known

Well sure, honestly surprised he hasn’t been choked to death for that by now.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

If I‘m reading correctly the $40m includes the buyout so don’t expect $8m/year but definitely north of 6.

True. I also think it will adjust to a projected penalty. So, a five year deal could be a seven year deal if we had a two year penalty.

I didn’t realize the UT coaching search was also the plot for National Treasure 3!

 

[LotteryPick]

If it's Franklin, the optics will be so so bad.

The fanbase will get absolutely destroyed if it doesn't freak out like it did for Schiano.

 

[BruinVol]

If DW vets Franklin and wants him I trust him

 

[jordan4vols]

Known insider says he is plugged into the right channels.

I know what AV said but Low has proved to not know anything this past week

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Gird your loins for James Franklin.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Penn State football: Ex-player sues, alleges violent, sexual hazing
Penn State football: Former team doctor sues James Franklin, university
Filing: Franklin contacted Vandy case victim
Former Vandy coach James Franklin testifies, changes story in rape case

And Vandy being a private school protected their employee so they could protect the university. If I remember correctly they kept as tight a lid as possible on the whole affair.

 

[Dudleys87]

Yea, let’s hire the all rape team....

HC Franklin
OC Briles
DC Schiano

Real upstanding citizens there...
