[BeecherVol]

The Tennessean is reporting that VU has a team meeting at 8 am.

Meh. Biscuits and gravy

 

[aredfox28]

Sure.

I did, go back through the thread and you, you get no like...

 

[aredfox28]

Lol. . You, you get a like. .

If you need a good laugh go read the comments under the James Franklin stories in The Tennessean. Some Vandy fans including the Ingram family think the Vandy job is just as good as the Penn State job.

But Vandy!!! Franklin grew up in Pennsylvania!! It's his DREAM JOB! Can't be mad at that, right? Afterall, Vandy is just a stepping stone to the big leagues.

It's official

It's official

And the meltdown begins.

"I can't tell you how excited I am to come home," Franklin stated. "I grew up watching Penn State football and now to be at the helm of such a storied program is a tremendous honor. It's important to me to be a part of a University that strives for excellence in everything they do. When football student-athletes come to Penn State, they have a unique opportunity to receive a premium education while playing at the highest level of competition.
"I'm incredibly excited to get to know the students, alumni, and fans who have demonstrated such loyalty to the University as a whole and to the football program in particular," Franklin added. "I've worked my way through every division of football and no other school boasts a fan base like we do. We Are...Penn State!!"

Word on the street is Nashville police received word of a possible Vanderbilt riot and mattress fire. They aren't too concerned though as 3 fans aren't going to make fuss.

 

[MiramarVol]

[WhiteRhino]

Good, f 'em

Vandy helped cover up the rape case and your coach still leaves.

If Vandy's AD really wasn't interviewing anyone as a replacement while this whole deal was going on, he's got to be the worst AD in college. Any momentum that the program had under Franklin has been destroyed. Seeing how much Kiffin's leaving affected our program as good as our program is, imagine the damage to Vandy's. They are going back to the stone age.

 

[GreveHaller]

PSU and Franklin deserve each other

He is. He's an idiot. Funny part is the fans think he's great.

 

[CNCVol88]

Lol the Vandy fan is delusional.

How can you defend what Lockridge is reporting. Franklin had staff move his Denali SUV because he refused to meet with fans/press outside. REFUSES to meet and explain himself before the people he demanded come out and support him and the players. The fans outside are VU's most dedicated bunch. COWARD!

Short time ago Franklin's black Denali was moved by someone from the VU coaches' parking lot. Not wanting to meet the press, fans

Their "fans" wouldn't even fill up 40k seats when they're at the pinnacle of their program and they think they deserve anything from Franklin!

 

[InVOLuntary]

A high class coach would have thanked his previous employer for the opportunity that was given to him especially since it was his first real head coach gig. I haven't read where he's done that. I think even Kiffin thanked UT.
