Franklin and his staff are very good coaches and recruiters. They have done an excellent job at Vandy and we can all appreciate that. BUT, the staff has had advantages that no other staff to my knowledge has had. This is not sour grapes, I promise, because I said this way at the beginning of the season and at other times in the Franklin era. Franklin has been allowed to advertise the upgrades to the football facilities to recruits and to go after recruits that probably wouln't have had a chance in previous years. He has been allowed to schedule four cupcakes every year for four automatic wins. He has had the benefit of several teams being down a bit. Now credit to him for winning these games that in times past would have probably have been blown anyway. He got the benefit of having good players left by Bobby Johnson, and yes, they were very good players as Johnson's staff did have a great eye for talent.
