Could be a plan B since Franklin was going to get the counteroffer from Vandy.

Or a way to force his hand.

recalling bobby johnson to Nashville...The Dores are waiting

 

[rekinhavoc]

1st off PSU is not going to pay JF what he is currently making...what would VU be counter offering?

Benefits for his domestic partner Clay?
Free face painting parties?
Big endorsement deal with Massengill?

 

[volgrad500]

Honestly, it's starting to sound like Franklin has pulled a Sabin to get more out of Vandy and that he very well may end up staying.

Franklin doesn't strike me as a guy who would stay only for money. He knows his name is the hottest it will ever be. A couple 6 or less win seasons and he'll be lucky to get an offer at Louisville, let alone PSU and the NFL.

I kinda agree with you on the money, but apparently he's been after major upgrades and kickers for his staff. Idk, but the situation is interesting.

And George MacIntyre left Vandy to take over at Donelson Christian Academy

....and if Franklin leaves Vandy, George's son, Mike would be one of the leading candidates for the Vandy job.

Does Vandy really have more money to spend than Penn State? Not trying to argue, just asking.

 

[jpope9]

I would think there'd be smoke, though. Now Penn State has interviewed Greg Roman.

no Roman already interviewed days ago.

That doesn't make any sense; and if that were even true, what in the world would Vandy be counter-offering? Just show him his current pay stub that's it's already bigger?

 

[Spartacavolus]

My dad told me a long time ago that if a train comes by and you are thinking about hopping on, do it, because it may not come back again or may not be going to as nice of a place next time.
JF would be crazy not to cash in on his hype right now and move away from that ****hole of a stadium and AD that wears tennis shoes with suits and oversees a nonexistent athletic dept.

 

[cbbowlingmd]

I will need to see us beat vandy before I feel as confident as you.

He went 1-2 against Derek Dooley.....just want to throw that out there.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Franklin? He went 1-1.

 

[GreveHaller]

No, Gerry DiNardo left for LSU in '94.

you are correct, I forgot. But with a 19-25 record it was a matter of time.

MacIntyre resigned

 

[cbbowlingmd]

Franklin? He went 1-1.

Sorry, you're correct.

An the only reason we lost this year was because of QB issues and a couple of questionable officiating calls.

The block in the back against Pig killed us. Turnabout is fair play though, since Vandy lost in 2011 on a questionable roughing the kicker call.

 

[RockyTop411]

So does anyone think he's going to leave Vandy?

 

[cbbowlingmd]

So does anyone think he's going to leave Vandy?

I hope not. I want to see his reaction when we light his ass up this fall.

 

[dembewbs]

He's gone. No way he stays around, to many sec teams are going up and them beating him will affect him getting another job at a bigger and better program later down the road.

Earn a boatload of money with no expectation of winning a conference or even divisional championship--not a bad deal.

Franklin is no Dooley. He's ambitious. Dude wants a National Championship, just like Butch. Money alone isn't enough to keep him on West End.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Lane Kiffin is available...<evil grin> would be a perfect punishment going to Vandy only to get demolished by UT every year.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

According to penn state website and vandys (message board) hes on his way with his family to happy valley

If so, he Kiffin'd Vandy to a harder degree than Lane did UT. At least Lane had the decency to give a half-assed midnight press conference.
