Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BP4Prez]

So you approve of covering up violence against women?!

No I do not. But I’m going to venture to say there is no proof of that or he would not be coaching college football. AJ Johnson was accused of rape, we know how that turned out.

 

[mrmax86]

Completely hypothetical of course... but how would we feel if it was James Franklin? Lots of success, knows the state, but obvious baggage from the Vandy scandal.

 

[Ericvol2096]

If we pass on Freeze, Kiffin and Chadwell for their pasts and hire Franklin, it will be hard to stomach.

 

[gardners_51609]

We don’t trot Franklin out there. The first question from reporters would be, “You talked about building a program free of scrutiny and full of integrity. Why hire a guy that checks neither box?”

I don’t see DW, Donde or Boyd wanting that to be the storyline of the hire.

 

[PeerlessVol]

How is Franklin a bad hire besides his alleged cover up? It was thrown out. I can see it now, “Vol Fans run off their second coach in under 5 years before his first game.” Way to commit program suicide VN. No one will touch our program should protests break out against Franklin.

 

[Devo182]

Come on Bass think. They aren't going to hire any coach with baggage seeing that we ourselves are on probation.

That's my line of thinking. I'd honestly be shocked if that was our route.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I doubt it's Franklin for multiple reasons, but I will say this.

Y'all trust DW to hire someone who's a winner, like he said he would. Maybe you should trust him to hire someone who isn't an awful person, too. Like he said he would.

The majority of CFB fans outside of Tennessee do not believe Franklin covered up a rape. The prosecution of the case itself says Franklin did not cover up a rape.

Tennessee fans have a different opinion. Why? Because he beat UT like a drum at Vandy. That's why. Let's just be honest here.

I can't imagine that happening. Freeze or Kiffin would have been better and come for less with the fans losing their minds.

 

[amazingGRACE]

C Low was talking up Franklin

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Low mentioned Franklin on the radio this afternoon...

 

[Orange Studs]

You’re gonna be busy for a while

 

[jakez4ut]

Neyland Rising is still at it. It'll take him a week to find out who the hire is.

 

[Bigorange123]

It's not Franklin. It's more disinformation.

You had me at hello

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Rank Matt Campbell, Bob Stoops, Chris Peterson, Lane Kiffin.

[COOKEVOL]

I have to be up by 4:30. If any of you morans tag me for no reason, we will be kung fu fighting in the street.

Seems we’ve been down this road before.

Re: James Franklin

Did he contact the alleged rape victim in the days after the attack? Sure did. To cover it up? Take it away, Nashville Assistant District Attorney Tom Thurman: "I think he and his wife called and said they were praying for her and thinking about her."

... What scum.

 

[BigSteve09]

C Low was talking up Franklin

Ok. Well.

 

[KB5252]

I have flirted with putting you on ignore multiple times and haven’t before now, just because I like to see everyone’s view point, regardless if I agree or not. Congratulations, you’re number one now with your continual upholding someone that isn’t fit to be the head coach at UT. By the way, I’m a woman and your stance with Franklin just proves you like to bait posters just for the sake of getting a response. It’s call a Attention Who*e, and that’s all it is. Don’t bother responding, I won’t see it.

I just ignored as well, first person I've done that with. I think he just wants to be controversial, take the other side. But he tries so damn hard at it that it isn't even natural. Gets old and tiresome.

 

[BJWeeks]

Getting a coach that is a winner is all that matters

 

[nesbuddha66]

James Franklin is not on the list. Lowe and a couple of trolls KILLED our buzz tonight. Geee wiizzzzz

...besides covering up rape?

Night shift, we need some help here

“To be the best you have to beat the best.”

If you’re questioning why any coach would listen to Tennessee, just remember that quote. Every coach out there wants to be the one that pushes Saban off his throne.

No one more, than Lane Kiffin.
