Price: Franklin Likely Remaining at Penn State

[A Typical Vol Fan]

“As for James Franklin, we believe Tennessee was deep in talks with him over the last 24 hours or so but he seems like he is staying at Penn State with locker room renovations heavily in play.”

Franklin out, Fleck out, etc. This is setting up for a Fisher hire.

Good. Don’t like that *******. Hard to root for him even if we win.

 

[Steve_Smith89]

**** him

 

[EZE]

I don’t buy any of this BS!

Campbell time

Probably a smart decision if we’re being honest. I doubt Franklin comes here, but the media seems to be out of the know on this one.

He is staying because of "locker room renovations"? Not sure about that one, no offense to Price and Hubbs but they aren't near as connected as they used to be. With that being said, we are a toxic place right now and it will be difficult to hire a good coach.

I hope him and Fleck appreciate the raise that UT helped them negotiate.

Fisher, Steele, Fishers son, already has staff ready. He is just waiting on the call.
Not sure what hold up is.

Franklin was pretty hated by Tennessee fans during his time at Vandy, so probably for the best.

Here come the contract and facility upgrade negotiations. I wish people would stop upgrading on TN’s back!

Agreed. I would understand him staying at Penn St., but it seems pretty strange that “locker room renovations” of all all things would be the reason why.

Not that I want Franklin but you are saying he is staying at PSU because they are getting new locker rooms. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard for staying at a school.

Possibly the fact that Fisher absolutely sucks

 

[SMU Vol]

My top 5 realistic candidates as of right now:

1. Matt Campbell
2. Luke Fickell
3. Billy Napier
4. Gus Malzahn
5. Bill Clark

I think Freeze, Kiffin and Chadwell are untouchable this go-round since what was said at the press conference about integrity being paramount.

Thank goodness

You have to understand the purpose of locker rooms, and showers, at Penn St. to really understand his motivation.

Prepare to be disappointed when Dykes is named as the last man standing.

If we have a coach who we believe is a homerun, then pay him 10 million per year if that is what it takes. I have never understood the pearl clutching with coaching salaries. A good coach will bring in massive amounts of money. Paying a lower tier coach 4 million and then buying them out every 3-4 years isn't exactly working

Well played sir

Sonny Dykes will not be the next head coach at Tennessee.

Um because nobody wants a washed up old NFL HC that won nothing of significance during a 20+ year career that saw him have a whopping 6 winning seasons.
