Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTwild82]

Last night we hire and fire Tony Elliott.
Tonight we hire and fire James Franklin.

This place is too much damn fun.

A big ten championship. And this is an easier job to win at. We’re in the east and have a much better talent base

Wrong. We play Bama every year. The best program in the country. Plus UGA and Florida. Then usually one big OCC game. Penn State is am easier to win at and that’s not even debatable.

 

[ACvol3]

one poster has already called Eliott here Franklin JR.
that was awful

Skin tone

 

[FBtime]

We can't go by the $8m figure and say Campbell isn't worth that or this coach isn't worth that so it can't be them since we are obviously having to overpay due to our current ncaa situation.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I need a leak tonight. From a reputable source...

I just took a Piss

 

[The Comb]

Matt Campbell come on down!

Stupid is the word you are looking for

 

[m1al]

Imagine if your child was sexually assaulted in James Franklin's locker room, would you be so bold with your ignorance?

Jesus, can we drop this sh!t already. Franklin is not going to be the next head coach at UT anyway......

 

[EdEcEko77]

Maybe DW convinced Matt Rhule that the SEC is better than the NFL.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Sorry bout that

?

 

[eVOLve]

You don’t agree Vandy is the worse job in the SEC

Or

That the SEC is better than the Big 12

or

That Iowa state isn’t the worst job in the Big 12?



Which are you telling me to stop about?

Dude isn’t worth the argument. Regardless of his resume as a coach. Even if we get as far as his resume, he can’t win the big games. Campbell hasn’t had the opportunity at a big program to do so, so I would choose him anyway.

 

[BruinVol]

You have the link or tweet?

It was posted here that he was talking about Franklin tonight on his radio show

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The crime happened in June 2013. Franklin was hired in January 2014.

Penn State definitely knew about the incident and did background on it.

Nothing in any of the articles I’ve read that couldn’t be vetted by a search firm with a few phone calls.

Its not about when it happened, its when the court documents are un sealed which usually takes a while.

Not to mention its his dream job. And he isn't leaving there to come here.

 

[Skizer41]

God speed @Neyland Rising

He should like this post right before the Orange and White game.

 

[VolGee4]

The only knock on Campbell that I can see, is just like he wins big games he's not supposed to win ... he drops games to teams he should beat.
I don't know if he's not getting them ready to play for lesser games, if the team plays down to the level of the competition, or what.
I'd love the hire tho.

He is the low level of competition. I would say he’s had 2 bad losses at ISU in 5 years. I’m not calling any in-conference loss bad because ISU is the low tier. He lost to an FCS team in year one where they went 3-9. They were 3-9 the year before him. He lost this year to Louisiana, who ended up being good.

Franklin is a good smokescreen name to get us off the Campbell train - we’d accept anybody over him. Roll the Clemson oc back out - well take him.

That's what has me the most worried... Get Franklin shoved down our throat for a little while, and trout out Steele and I'd be like "whew"...

 

[The Comb]

Gotta say I’ll miss coaching searches

But winning championships will be fun too

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Im still holding out hope its Fickell, literally the only name there haven't been any "leaks" about

Both Franklin and campbell have some huge wins. Franklin has beaten CUM twice I think

 

[SweetasSoda]

Campbell, Fleck, Fickell, Stoops, Riley, Cristobal sounds amazing!!!!

 

[scvolfan7]

Big ten east is way tougher than the SEC east. Kirby and Mullen aren’t that good. Franklin would coach circles around both. And again, he will recruit very well here. It’s clearly an easier job

Sold

Feel better now? Sorry educating people to sexual assault bothers you buddy

 

[Weezer]

i think it’s plausible, and so did the the judge and jury in a case that was a lot more thorough than your investigation.. I can’t condemn somebody that was proven innocent when I didn’t pour over the details

We don't know what the judge or jury thought because court cases aren't decided on opinion. It may be they thought he was guilty as hell, but without real supporting evidence, they couldn't convict. Personally, I think he was guilty as hell.
