Franklin is a POS. He allows sexual assault in his locker room between players.

"One player interviewed in the report told investigators that Barber, while naked, overpowered a teammate smaller than him and simulated sex acts, targeting him almost daily. "

"He told investigators the assaults and sexual touching at times reduced him and other freshman players to tears. "

"described an atmosphere in which Franklin discouraged players from sharing information about alleged incidents to the media or outside the team. He said Franklin would "remind people not to say anything "

No reasonable person could read that link and then want Franklin to come “stabilize” their team.

Talk about losing the locker room....

Chris Low just said on The Nation on WMNL that James Franklin would be a home run. Didn’t really go into much more detail.

His buyout is 5 million if he left in 2020 and goes down each year [VIDEO=][/VIDEO]to 1 million in 2024.

Would he leave? How would fans react? Is Jimmy Sexton his agent?

Agent is Trace Armstrong.

No way Franklin would jump from Penn ST IMO

These media guys are just lobbing names out right now.

I commented about this on another thread minus the buyout information. Chris Low must read Vol Nation. 🤣

I don’t see him leaving either. It just caught me off guard. Just trying to apply all of the things the insiders have said.

“Hiring a current head coach”
“Think bigger than Kiffin”
“Not a Jimmy Sexton client”
“Pay attention to Chris Low”

Franklin might be one of the coaches Clay Travis has spoken with. He said he has heard from several really good coaches interested in the Tennessee job. This was earlier in the week when he said this. I know he was friends with Franklin and Kiffin also.

If Donde is considering him she needs to talk to about 25000 of us in the south End zone who had to endure his profane tirade after losing in OT

A few years ago, Chris lost a lot of weight. Now he has lost his mind.

I know James Franklin has been mentioned several times over the years. I haven't seen him mentioned in several months. I hope the mods don't merge this thread. I believe it is different from anything posted in a long time.

It looks like CPJ is gone. UT needs to pay James Franklin's 5 million dollar buy out and $7 million a year to bring him back to the SEC. They man
moved mountains at Vandy. Many of his losses at Vandy to SEC were by 2 TDs or less. Yes, there were a few blowouts. But, the man lead Vandy to a lot of quality SEC wins with mainly 2-3 star players playing. Vandy went 5-3 and 4-4 his last two years of SEC PLAY playing in mainly hostile environments where home games aren't even home games 80% of the time. Yes, Franklin lead VU to 5-3 in only his second year with much less talent than other SEC teams!!! UT has only had two 5-3 seasons the last 13 years and hasn't went 6-2 in the SEC since 2007!!! Even the great Kiffin that so many of you want didn't go 5-3 his lone year at UT. Yes, the roster was sort of bare when Kiffin arrived. Do you think it was less talented than Franklin's in only his second year at Vandy???

You give Franklin a roster full of 4-5 star recruits playing in front of 75,000 to 95,000 of UT fans and watch UT kick some tail!!! Franklin also landed a lot of top recruits at Vandy his last two years. FRANKLIN is a PROVEN SEC COACH and PROVEN SEC RECRUITER with NO BAGGAGE and a 5 million buyout, possibly 4 million now that it is 2021!!!

Look at his team's RESULTS at Vandy with much less talent than his opponents! As I said, the guy moved mountains. Think about what he could do with 4-5 star roster in front of 75,000-90,000 HOME CROWD with PROVEN OC like Chaney and a PROVEN DC like Bob Shoop or some other TOP NOTCH PROVEN DC!!! It is definitely a recipe for success in the SEC!!!!!

2012 Vanderbilt Commodores football team - Wikipedia

2013 Vanderbilt Commodores football team - Wikipedia


Look at how Vandy in recruiting before and during Franklin's time there:


(51st) YEAR BEFORE Franklin, 2010 Football Team Rankings

(49th) 1st year, 2011 Football Team Rankings

(46th) 2nd yr, 2012 Football Team Rankings

(26th) 3rd yr, 2013 Football Team Rankings


Franklin improved recuiting by 5 spots his first two years and 25 spots his last full year of recruiting. What do you think he could do at UT? If he only improved UT 5 spots over what UT is now and DEVELOPED and COACHED UP the players at UT like he did at VU and has at PSU, UT would probably be a JUGGERNAUT!!!

Why would these coaches call Clay Travis? I find his statement odd.
