This guy is killing his recruiting pitch if he stays at Vandy. Build your own legacy, stay in the SEC, Nashville is the place to be, come Vanderbuild with us. Just ignore when I was going to Penn St. Good luck selling that at Vandy now.

A good salesman like Kiffin or the Black Kiffin (Franklin) would say " Oh, I thought that I wanted to go elsewhere but I realized that there is no place like Vandy"

I hope Franklin stays. He has a winning record against us. He needs to stay long enough to have his face run through the mud.

If he stays I bet he cries during the presser and spins some recycled crap about "having a dream" about it. And by "recycled crap" I meant the Urban Meyer speech..... before anyone takes offense.

If this is true, it would be a very good hire by Penn State. Franklin to PSU is a much better hire than Strong to TX. ..

Disagree. I think Strong may stumble the first year, but if given the chance, I think he can start Texas rolling again. And given how much I dislike Texas, I hate to say that. As for Franklin, I'm still not impressed yet. He's a good coach, but not a great coach. He still has a lot of resume building to do IMO.

If he stays, he's a fool, and if VU allows him to fleece them for a bigger deal, they're a fool too.

If he is honest with himself, he has to understand that he has - in the short time he's been there - already taken Vanderbilt as far as he can hope to. Can ANYONE believe that he could recruit and keep in school enough 4 and 5 star players to be an elite SEC team? Getting from 2 or 3 wins to 8 or 9 - in a lot of ways - is easier that getting from 8-9 to 11 or 12. That's what it takes to be at the top in this league.

Further, allowing his name to get whirled around on the coaching search carousel just gives competing coaches recruiting fuel and softens the fan base.

He will have the opportunity to win more games, win bigger games, have a more storied career and make a lot more money if he goes to Penn State. That's not a dig at VU. That's a fact.

The window of opportunity will not stay open forever.

As for VU, if they up him, what's the ransom going to be next year? They can't allow him to play them like that over and over. He's either going to continue to win enough that someone will outbid them soon enough, or he's going to settle back down. If that happens, then they'll be the ones overpaying for what they are getting.

You're wrong.

Nope, and just for fun I'll explain why. If Franklin leaves Vandy, they could potentially upgrade. If he stays after having a fling with Penn State, he loses a good bit of cred and his snake oil will be a harder sell.

You can upgrade after firing a coach, but hard to when one leaves for a big time program like PSU. And he won't lose cred with his base and recruits...I mean, what coach out there wouldn't at least entertain the same offer if you were the coach at Vandy?

I'm going to assume you're ignorant about football because I hate to accuse racism on someone I don't know. Strong is a great hire for them. You might keep in mind that he turned us down, not the other way around.

I agree with him. Strong will not make it at Texas because he doesn't like to do the PR stuff that job requires. Fans will turn quickly on him. I'm glad he said no to us, as I did not want him to begin with.
