Why not Franklin?

You guys are ignorant. We just got beat 41-18 by a team that we have far superior talent than. And to those of you saying he's a ****, his players bust their ass for him, while dooley's don't give a **** about their head coach. If they did, we wouldn't have lost 41-18 to Vandy. Franklins players love him and he is an up-and-comer coach that has proven himself. That's why if we don't get grudenor Peterson, which we won't, we should go after him.

He's also recruiting extremely well at Vandy. If he can do that at Vandy I can only imagine what he could do with a recruiting budget, facilities and a stadium.
 
He didn't do anything special last night.. Just let Tennessee implode in the second half.. A staple of the Dooley "error"..

Franklin is a solid coach but i say no on him... Tennessee needs to set their sites bigger than that..

Agree with this. If 7-8 wins is your goal hes the guy.

I do completely agree but I'm afraid based on our recent track record that we'll end up announcing Kirby Smart instead of Jon Gruden.

I'll bet the Gator fans are glad you didn't get to make the call on taking Spurrier from Duke. I'm sure there were a few saying the exact same thing about him at the time. He's not in my top 5 but he's a Hell of a lot better than half the names floated.

Did you just say Franklin=Spurrier? If you did......well I dont need to say anything that isnt obviois.

No I didn't just comparing the situations. And by the way, Spurrier wasn't always the 'ole ball coach. At one time he was an up and comer who was doing things at Duke University that were unheard of when an SEC school decided to give him a shot. If you can't draw the parallel then I'm afraid I can't help you.
 
Franklin reminds me a lot of Pearl. I don't like him anymore than you guys but he's a winner and brings excitement for his university. A lot of people thought Pearl was arrogant but we loved him to death. I believe the same would be for Franklin if he was here.
 
I just don't get all the JF hate. He's passionate, vocal and pissed off when he loses. They didn't just win the game, they embarrassed us with a less than stellar performance.

Can someone explain to me why he is a douche and a liar? I thought his spiel about coaches with hot wives being better recruiters was immature but not without a modicum of truth, more like something with substance that would be better left unsaid. I know he was pissed about what was said in our locker room when we won that game last year, but wouldn't you be in the reverse situation?

We could do a lot worse than JF and if we don't get JG, we probably will.
 
I've been watching Vandy for 50+ years mostly getting stomped by my beloved VOLS and I have never seen Vandy play like they have the last two years! Imagine what he could do with real talent to work with. The man can motive and coach, nad his teams do not give up. Give him whatever he wants.
 
I hope this is a joke. If you seriously think our fans would get excited over Franklin, you're kidding yourself. This hire MUST be a home run hire. Gruden, Petrino, Stoops or bust!
