Blocked Flight Leaving Knoxville for State College, Pennsylvania

Yurcich's

boom.

I just don’t understand why Franklin would want to come here, esp with sanctions headed our way. Penn State is a good gig and he’s from PA.

What I heard is his daughter has sickle cell and one of the best hospitals for her is in Nashville, and he want to move back south

 

[coffeevol]

Franklin's Players loved him, He made Vanderbilt relevant and beat his rival multiple times. Dude is a winner. Can he be a d*ck yep but so can I.

 

[Vato]

Precisely what I said earlier. That would definitely fit into the 'integrity my a**' category.

F integrity.
We need to win, the next coach can be the integrity guy once we are back.

 

[firedog28]

I don't care one way or another about Franklin,but you guys need to come out and admit why you hate him is because he was out recruiting and beating our a## at VANDERBILT! LOL.Vol Nation is entertainment city!

 

[tennesseeduke]

What is wrong with some of you? He is an outstanding coach. Chuck Noll isn't beating our door down and we are going to be on probation more than likely. Considering the circumstances he would be a homerun.

This statement all day from landscape! I've been saying for a week now that it will be someone who is AVAILABLE or willing to come here with this cloud hanging over us. We can't get freaking Nick Saban or anyone else most of delusional VN thinks is coming here. We have a small bucket of coaches to pick from. Danny White is going to pick the guy from that small bucket who he feels most comfortable with for 5-10 yrs! Kiffy not coming, Freeze not coming, Campbell not coming so freaking get over it people! We have a shot with Tony Elliot, Jamey Chadwell, Luke Fickle, PJ Fleck, James Franklin his buyout is high from what I understand. These are the guys of this ilk we can get but no one else. I'm sorry but we're not!

Also James Franklin just started following Ansley on Twitter fwiw

This. I mean I don’t know that you’re a d*ck but that’s all of us so lol

 

[Red Forman]

IDK why everyone is getting themselves worked up. You’ve never broken a coaching search scoop chasing planes.

 

[VolFan32]

It's driving everyone crazy how tight-lipped this thing has been from our new AD. Nobody on this site knows anything. Just sit back and wait. We'll have a new coach no later than Wednesday.

 

[dduncan4163]

Hell, I'll take him in a heartbeat. The man knows how to win. Don't care that's he's a douche.

Waaaa he said Fulmer momma wears combat boots during his post Florida victory press conference. Fahr his azz.

I ain't looking for us to hire a preacher.

Yes
Be a di** all you want if we are winning.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Good grief. I hate the ******* as much as anyone does but I would take him in a heartbeat. He won AT VANDY and has had PSU a perennial TOP 10 TEAM year in and year out, except this messed up year. It's been proven he did nothing wrong at Vandy so don't start that Moral high ground crap. He wins. We need that. 1000x better than another freaking coordinator who has never been a head coach.

 

[Vols1313]

What? Date the guy? I’m talking about the “he lied about the rape video” link everyone keeps sharing to try and prove he’s a scumbag. But if you read the story, the article actually paints Franklin in a positive light.

Here we go again , morality police , mob rule

 

[Honky]

For those who want JF...
James Franklin testifies he lied to Vanderbilt team about seeing rape case video

 

[Volbrando]

Hell, I'll take him. The man knows how to win. Don't care that's he's a douche

I’d rather have a douche that can win than a dumb@$$ like our last 3

 

[Vato]

Hard to be humble by Mac Davis

 

[franklinboy]

If RichardHead Franklin becomes our coach....I pledge to be 1000% finished with UT football.

hell yea bro me to! I'd rather have Tee Martin running the show!

 

[VolArmy74]

How many Big Ten championships has he won? I’ll hang up and listen.

1 more than any coach we've had in a long time.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Here we go again , morality police , mob rule

I’m confused. I think you and I are on the same page...I’m in support of Franklin. I think it’d be the best we can get if not Campbell.

 

[EBFVOL]

Whites a genius all he needed to do was fake Franklin’s hire and 1/2 the naysayers to Elliott are begging for him now lmao.

 

[damcclure60]

Could James Franklin be ready to hop back to the SEC? Update on the Plane Tracking:

I certainly took the thread title out of context. I thought VOL fans had chained themselves to the plane to block an interview with Franklin.

 

[tastycar]

F integrity.
We need to win, the next coach can be the integrity guy once we are back.

I get it to a certain extent. I can take a little bit of scumminess. I'm not above that. Freeze, Kiffin, Petrino... That's fine.

Rape, child molestation... Those are my limits. We're all different. That's where I'm at, though.

 

[Vols1313]

I’m confused. I think you and I are on the same page...I’m in support of Franklin. I think it’d be the best we can get if not Campbell.

Then yea we are on the exact same page

 

[uncle chewii]

We could do worse.... but we also could do better. He is a settle hire. I'd rather talk/offer Gus Mahlzan before Franklin.
