Franklin the Clown

[VOLS INC.]

In press conference, Vandy coach James Franklin wants to talk Tanzania, not rape scandal (video) | Evan's Eleven

This guy refuses to answer a hard question. Here in Nashville he wont even do an interview on our mid-day talk show because Franklin knows they aren't gonna serve up softballs. He got owned once before and got all buttsore. Just say "no comment" if you can't answer the question. He has proven time and time again to be a douche. Great football coach on the field but sucks at handling the media. Butch is dominating him on the recruiting trail....now he just has to do it on the field!

Go VOLS!

And if you are attending the game this weekend and we are on defense please GET LOUD! I know I will!

Somebody is listening to 104.5 the zone today.

All of this (negative ) attention VN gives to Franklin is a testament to what a good job he has done for Vandy. And he loves it, guaranteed. You can't beat him by making fun of him; have to do it on the field.

As touchy as he gets whenever the rape case is whispered, I seriously doubt he's happy about anyone harping on it. Now that his texts have been subpoenaed, who's guessing he's getting more touchy about it?

Agree. He is living rent free in VN's head.

Or, chances are he has never visited Volnation and has no clue what people on the board say about him.

An accomplice to a rape case is receiving a free education from the football department. A reporter in Nashville gave him a chance to justify that and he chose to randomly heap praise on a select few.... he's a coward.

Players decide whether we win or lose. Not us.

this board is obsessed with this dude, there are like 3 threads just on how he answers questions.

im not sure what the guy can say he has tried the no comment line forever and thats still not working.

guys is a jerk no doubt, but think we worry about him too much here.

And you just bumped one of threads discussing him. He's discussed because he's got his team playing good ball and could beat us.

If he were 2-8 right now, he wouldn't get much attention. There's no problem chiding the guy for his errors. He makes a lot of money, it comes with the territory.

I don't blame him. That station is very much in love with UT and could care less about Vandy. It shows U what kind of job he has before him when the local team can't even get media support in their home town. Vandy had their best season since 1915 and that station only wants to talk about a 5-7 UT team.

 

[terrypedigo]

I just hope we can make fun of him Sunday, be hard to make fun of a man if his team gives us another azz whipping.

 

[immyaxl]

What did James Franklin know, and when did he know it......

He wasn't in the state when it happened. In fact other than the strength and conditioning coach none of the other coaches were either. Vandy turned the guys over to Metro.

And that's the way it should be. Nashville is not Vandy's. It is UT. Period. That's why the majority of the fans when they play at Vandy are UT fans. As far as 104.5 "hating Vandy", what a load of crap. They harp on UT just as much...we just haven't had a rape on our campus by our football players. Not sure what you expected would happen...Vandy has skated by when it comes to the media spotlight on this.

So Franklin doesn't use text, cell phones or email? Being out of town does not mean he is cut off from the world.

The buck stops with the role model head coach, to a large extent. He has to set a positive tone of class, dignity and leadership; not making trashy remarks about hiring assistant coaches for how their wives look. What goes round ... :zeitung_lesen:

 

[OrangeInKy]

As touchy as he gets whenever the rape case is whispered, I seriously doubt he's happy about anyone harping on it. Now that his texts have been subpoenaed, who's guessing he's getting more touchy about it?

is there any way (with his DA connections), those texts get erased or is it impossible? Not sure how all that tech stuff works or if there was any way they could tamper with them.
Has there been word on when the texts will be revealed?

 

[DaphneVol]

When we win Saturday, I hope all of this Vandy talk just goes away.

How have they skated by? The culprits were caught the case is all the local media wants to talk about. Yes 104.5 does hate Vandy and when they harp on UT it's because Tennessee is stinking up the place right now.
