Wouldn't exactly call him a great coach. He's done a very good job at Vandy and I think he'll have very good success at PSU. But 24-15 ain't great, I don't care where it is. The job Shaw has done at Stanford.... that's great.

At Vandy, it's pretty close to being great. How far back do you have to go to find a Vandy coach with a winning record?

If his 24-15 (.615) record doesn't impress you, what about Butch's 55-34 (.618) record?

 

[velovol]

dude hasnt left yet
you think we at volnation would know a little something about premature assumptions about a coach going somewhere

Why bring in Butch? This about Franklin right? Jeez.

No, absolutely not is your answer. Neither has remotely proven themselves to be a great coach at this point.

There are very few "great" coaches IMO , it's a very short list. Saban, Meyer, Spurrier maybe. Historically, Bryant, Paterno, Schembechler, Wilkinson. Not an exhaustive list by any means, just off top of my head.

Don't understand the incessant need to constantly criticize/denigrate the coach of the team who you're supposedly a fan of. What's the point?

If he's accomplished no more than Dooley after 2-3 years fire away. Right now though? Why go out of your way propping up Vandy's coach while going out of your way to run down UTs coach?

Just holding him accountable right?

Off the top of your head you left off Neyland.

There's more in those #s than what is on the surface.

For instance, despite going 5-7 at TN, CBJ beat 3 bowl eligible teams including 11-2 USC.

In 4 years at Vandy Franklin has beaten 4 bowl eligible teams and his signature win is against 8-5 UGA.

I think Franklin is a good coach who has done a good job of getting his team to finish close games. He has largely benefitted from some if the weakest schedules in this era of the SEC. His stock will never be higher and he is smart to go job hunting now.

Reports coming in that Mac Brown's jet is circling Nashville

 

[Bluetic]

Hate to see him go


SIKE



GRUDEN to Vandy!!!

Soon!

 

[Volumnus 2011]

No lie, Gruden was in Nashville today interviewing.

 

[Chattanooga Butchslappers]

The answer you seek is in the question you asked.

Are you secretly phil jackson?? ....Sounds very Zen-like

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So, are you admitting that Franklin can coach? I'm pretty sure most posters on here have dismissed anything he's accomplished while at Vandy. But those same posters are glad he's leaving.

He is a decent, not good coach. I don't want him to leave.

That thing you did I see it and I laughed. :lolabove:

 

[IhateGA]

I honestly think he will be staying and Vandy. This year at least.

Question: When was the last time Vandy fired a coach as opposed to them leaving for a better job?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

The meltdown on vandymania right now is hilarious, they are claiming that they can pay franklin saban type money and build a brand new stadium.

They just laid off a bunch of folks. That will go over well.

Woody Widenhofer (2001)

And the last time a Vandy coach left for a better job was Steve Sloan (1974)

Woody has been gone that long? Seems like yesterday.

are they going to reduce the stadium size to 20,000 so it will be full every home game?

Just when I thought a fan base couldn't get any more desperate... This is comical. Please read.

340 supporters. If only they could get that many to a home game...

I doubt that would fill it, we'll maybe with opposing fans.
