good one. I'll give you that. Also, looked back and was speaking to those defending their wins which didn't pertain to your thread. not sure why it was taken towards you.

Let's be friends. You don't wanna talk about Franklin on a Vol message board, fair enough. Just trying to drop some info because I never get the opportunity like some in the recruiting forum.

Agreed. No one has ever accomplished what he's done there and it will not hurt my feelings when he moves on and hopefully out of the SEC.

Now back to our own drama of a coach search, another 14 point underdog to an east team, etc ...

Bobby Johnson had a few good years and gave many good teams fits. He just didn't beg for attention.

3 wins at this point is actually impressive if we use you and guys on this board's pre-season predictions for the "pathetic" roster they had returning this year. Hell most predictions I saw were no more than 3 wins for the entire season.

No one imagined Auburn would have their worst season in the history of the school. And, who knew Missouri would suspend 3 or 4 players right before their game and even then Vandy would have gotten beat except their QB also got hurt in the first half.

I don't recall insulting you. When others were weighing in on Franklin, I suggested this was the wrong board. I also stated Franklin was getting it done and THEREFORE would be on to better pastures soon. That entire assumption clearly indicates others taking note of his efforts and he therefore leaves for a better job. Not following your argument about sports journalists and whatever else you are ranting about. On to "better" pastures was the whole premise ... not because he sucks at his job.

dang it you two just drop it ... nobody on here cares about your little spat .... sheeze

This.

Stop hating on the guy because of your jealousy in what he is doing at Vanderbilt. Seriously, it's almost like this board is entirely made up of stoner college freshman that were cut from their freshman team.

Nobody is jealous of Vanderbilt. Except maybe Auburn. :eek:lol:

I'd like to see him as a viable candidate to replace Dooley to be honest. If Gruden doesn't come he'd be up there somewhere on my list. If you can recruit guys to Vandy like he has done, then just imagine what he could do at Tennessee. Same with on field performance, being competitive like he's been at Vandy with an inferior roster is also impressive.

That's not Vandy's problem. Both those teams still have more talented rosters than Vanderbilt currently has.

What has he done at Vandy that is so impressive again?

I feel the same way, even though we will get blasted for this opinion. I feel like Franklin is a great coach that will leave Vandy quickly (which is depressing). I wouldn't mind seeing him infuse his energy in Knoxville one bit.

James Franklin stopped by Gallatin High School this morning. I happened to be in the school for a meeting, and noticed him in the hallway. I stopped to ask him what was up, yada yada yada. IN short, he was there to see one of the players at Gallatin: Darian Banks. I didn't see his info on the board, so I thought I would pass it along.


FWIW, Franklin was extremely nice, and very intelligent in his comments. I was impressed to be honest.

:hi:

Given your advanced education and degrees, why were you meeting in a high school?

We had a teacher with phd where I went to school, it was in music. Is yours in music? If so, that doesn't count.


P.s. Tell your students not to read texts while driving.
