Blocked Flight Leaving Knoxville for State College, Pennsylvania

[Hbd10]

He also just started following Omari Thomas and Aaron Willis as well

 

[Wireless1]

I don't even think he would want this job. I fully think he would consider it a step back.

The only reason would be $8M and he'd be gone as soon as $8,000,001 was offered

 

[dduncan4163]

Look at what he did at Candy. You can't convince me he wouldn't give Smart and Mullins nightmares.

 

[VolArmy74]

Tennessee fans "Franklin is arrogant...hard pass."

Tennessee fans "Bring home Lane!"

 

[Steve_Smith89]

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

 

[ZippyMorocco]

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.

How is he an outstanding coach? He is an outstanding prick, and not much else.

 

[coffeevol]

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

Totally your right, but for me, it pissed me off so bad to lose to that mother scratcher that it would be awesome if he left little brother, to go to "Historic Penn State" then comes back to the state of TENNESSEE because he sees the potential in us that wasn't at Vandy for sure and apparently PSU.

 

[rickyyrs]

Franklin is no doubt a great coach but leaves a lot to be desired as a person. I still haven’t forgotten all trash he talked about UT while at Vandy.

Hey he can coach. And Vandy did beat UT while he was at Vandy. Got to give him credit.

 

[Vols1313]

Then yea we are on the exact same page

Idk how that got mixed up it might have clicked on wrong thread sorry

 

[govols105]

If they gonna hire Franklin they can hire freeze instead.

 

[sjt18]

I cant stand the guy.

If he can do for UT what he did for Vandy... could you stand that?

 

[JVol76V2]

They read headlines and not the story. And they can’t get over the fact that he brought Vandy to relevancy. This guy is a stellar coach and we’d be in the SEC championship game within 4 years, guaranteed. Look at his success and tell me that’s not a winner.

Yeah, that's exactly the reason. Is that your final answer or would you like to give it another try with something that is actually relevant?

 

[BIGORANGEBUBBA]

He also just started following Omari Thomas and Aaron Willis as well

Here we go!

 

[jhen713]

Maybe I'll learn to like Franklin if he's in Orange. Couldn't stand him at Vandy, and still don't care for him at Penn State. Gonna LOVE and support my Vols no matter who the coach is.

 

[Vols8086]

Hate to burst the bubble in here, but that is a Clayton jet (of Clayton Homes). They have locations in PA and aren't super involved with UT on that level to go pick up a coach.

 

[chattavol420]

I have no clue why some of our fans hate this dude. Is it because he straight whooped us with a bunch of 2 stars while he was at vandy? I didn’t get it. But the dude is a top 5 coach in all of college football point blank. He’d immediately win 10 games here.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

I literally hate this guy. So, it's probably him.

 

[PNW Huskie]

As much as I want to support a new coach James FREAKIN Franklin should be a major NO!

Why is Penn State terrible then?

 

[Wireless1]

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!View attachment 344110

No, I despise him because in 2011 he curse and profaned me, my wife and 20,000 other UT fans as he left the feild after getting his hat handed to him by Derek Dooley, His "FU you bunch of W*&*^s" while giving the double bird as security was hustling him out is still a very vivid memory. There are a ton of winning coaches we can choose before we bring that classless lump in as the face of our program.

Here we go again , morality police , mob rule

Left out new faction............integrity police.

State college is no where near either Clayton homes in pa

 

[coffeevol]

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.

You do know that Jimmy Franks was not the coach during the scandal and not had anything remotely similar on his watch, right?

 

[Perspective]

You know ... everyone is thinking James Franklin is in State College, but Mike Yurcich is also in State College PA.

Given that White is being very thorough in his search, it's not impossible that they are gauging Yurcich's interest for either Head Coach or OC.

Also could mean we're looking at Tom Herman and Herman wants Yurcich back as OC.

Does Yurcich know Campbell? They’re both Ohio guys.

Campbell to Tennessee, Yurcich as OC, as Iowa St promotes Campbell’s current OC to HC?

No man. Saban kicks our ass yearly. You think the fans would not take him? Franklin is a POS !
