Blocked Flight Leaving Knoxville for State College, Pennsylvania

[AshG]

Interesting. No matter who gets the job, a good portion of our game is going to act a fool. The tragic magic of anonymous discussion groups and people's comfort with letting themselves get riled up over young men in body armor and tights in the off-season.

Let’s hire a guy who was .500 against Dooley!

 

[coffeevol]

My hope is....he is not even considered.

Man yall are a sick bunch........Fahr tha coach, Har us a winner, Not that winner, he's too mean. Really man, I hate our fanbase some time. Then again I am here on a message board.

 

[MyVolsDropped]

Lol this plane was just brought up on the Finebaum show.

Let’s hire a guy who was .500 against Dooley!

At VANDY.....no VANDY coach should ever have a .500 record against the Vols with Knoxville resources

 

[Matt2496]

I'd rather him turn Danny White down and stay at Penn State.

Not at all. He would have us winning at a high level again.

He was 2-1 vs Dooley. He beat Florida, Georgia and Tennessee in the same year, at Vanderbilt.

That had nothing to do with him and everything to do with us

 

[Rickyvol77]

No he wasn’t he was 1-1 vs him. And he took Vandy to 4th in the East three straight years with a very weak schedule

 

[BondJamesBond]

I agree I can't stand that dude, remember he called us the team to the east couldn't even call us by name disrespectful jerk off

I just took that as gamesmanship. Was it Woody Hayes who wouldn't mention Michigan? Plays well to his players an 35 fans.

There’s a difference between “being too mean” and telling players not to report abuse/assault. Judging by how you view that, I don’t even want to know how you treat your wife and kids

 

[VOLFan65]

$4M-5M BUYOUT!

Chump change if we are serious about winning.

 

[tbones0711]

There's no way 80% of Tennessee fans would support that arrogant SOB.

You read it wrong because Franklin isn't whom I was referring to. I can't use his initials.

 

[Border Vol]

Not at all. He would have us winning at a high level again.

His Penn State team is starting to fall off. Penn State went 4-5 in 2020.

 

[CladInOrange]

Okay. Clayton Homes has a facility right next to State College.

 

[bleedorange9995]

His Penn State team is starting to fall off. Penn State went 4-5 in 2020.

Players opt out

 

[jarnol32]

I will say this, James Franklin checks off all the boxes.
Program rebuilder. Check
Power 5 experience. Check
Proven winner. Check
I hated him while he was at Vandy, but he would be a home run hire in our current situation.

We gotta find a way to monetize show and site prep for these losers

I'm not going to judge a head coach's ability based on one bad year, especially one that just so happened to also be a COVID year.

Look at what he has done at Vanderbilt. Also got Penn State to multiple 11 win seasons.

The guy is a proven winner.

 

[CINCYVOL]

Not at all. He would have us winning at a high level again.

His leftovers beat UT as well

 

[Sin City Vol]

People in here raising hell about this even being a possibility...would you rather end up with PJ Fleck or The OC at Clemson?

 

[VolArmy74]

No he wasn’t

I stand corrected. He was 2-1 vs Tennessee. He lost to Dooley in year one and then smoked Tennessee two straight, Dooley once and Jones once.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

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

At least you could splice Franklin's pic onto your avatar.

 

[Border Vol]

I'm not going to judge a head coach's ability based on one bad year, especially one that just so happened to also be a COVID year.

I don't think he'll leave Penn State for Tennessee so this will probably be a moot point.
