Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SweetasSoda]

well, do you trust an unnamed source from a buzzfeed article, or the court?

It's out there. It cannot be proven right or wrong. So do you stand up and tell the world you are going to hire a moral leader for young men then hire someone with baggage? Just hire fan favorites Kiffin or Freeze for less.

 

[Steve_Smith89]

If he wasn’t there and had no knowledge, I wouldn’t hold him accountable for what somebody else did. That’s like saying Ted bundy’s parents should go to prison for not stopping him

Former Penn State football player says coach James Franklin told him not to report fight to police

Give this a read if you have time, "One player interviewed in the report told investigators that Barber, while naked, overpowered a teammate smaller than him and simulated sex acts, targeting him almost daily."

That's your guy

 

[SugarCC]

There's a POS...then there's a POS, who breaks the law.

If Franklin is just a regular ole POS, I'd take him in a heartbeat; but, only if Kiffin, Freeze, or Campbell had turned us down.

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

VQ just dropped a video to wrap up today. Said Steele will get an interview. Mentioned Franklin, Fickell, & Fleck. Said Elliott has been the one constant in this entire process.

So basically they have no clue.

They also keep saying that the hire will come out of “left field” and are not mentioning Campbell at all. That’s Mr. Left Field

 

[Girth Brooks]

How tf is it out of left field if you mention the coaches name in the same breath. It’s Bob Stoops if you ask me.

Looks good in Big

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Auburn has to pay $21.5 mil to Gus.

And didn't just hire a superstar AD, but instead still has boosters running amuck

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I was told off record to take the Fitz, avoid Moderna. It’s caused some major issues.

What type of issues has Moderna caused?

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

If we raise cane about Franklin they’ll just say we’re racists

 

[engineerVOL]

2/3rds of the FF is in here! Just saying

Sorry bout that

 

[Blake25p]

Why would he come here?

Comes back to an area (south) that’s he’s familiar with and

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

It’s someone we’re either not discussing or have barely discussed.

Matt Campbell isn’t an 8 million a year hire IMO.

It’ll be someone we’re all psyched about but I think it’ll be a shocker.

But I’m gonna go to bed tonight and pray to 9lb 8oz baby Jesus all cute in his manger that it’s Lane Fkn Kiffin.

 

[tomq_123]

The only knock on Campbell that I can see, is just like he wins big games he's not supposed to win ... he drops games to teams he should beat.
I don't know if he's not getting them ready to play for lesser games, if the team plays down to the level of the competition, or what.
I'd love the hire tho.

We already lost to Ga. State and BYU. I'd do it again if it meant beating Bama, UGA or Florida.

 

[scvolfan7]

What championships has he won at penn state? An easier school to win at...

A big ten championship. And this is an easier job to win at. We’re in the east and have a much better talent base

 

[JT3]

No way it’s Franklin then. Stoops or Petersen?

It better not be Franklin!!!!!!

 

[quadlee21]

Cristobal till it ain’t.

I’m all in n him also. I think it be a great hire

 

[KPT_VFL]

HOLY F ITS BOB STOOPS

 

[Ashevolle]

Chris Low

Whoa. Great coach. Controversial pick, if true.

 

[rjd970]

Am I really convincing myself it is Stoops or Campbell?

 

[ACvol3]

It's out there. It cannot be proven right or wrong. So do you stand up and tell the world you are going to hire a moral leader for young men then hire someone with baggage? Just hire fan favorites Kiffin or Freeze for less.

It’s hearsay... that’s my problem with it. Nothing has been proven.. do you not draft AJ Johnson because there’s a girl that claimed rape, even when the court didn’t?

 

[SweetasSoda]

It does make me nervous that Auburn didnt land anyone bigger than Harsin. Makes me think we won’t either....

Think they went all in on Cristobal then didn't have a plan after he supposedly backed out when Oregon renewed contract.

 

[NochNoch]

If he wasn’t there and had no knowledge, I wouldn’t hold him accountable for what somebody else did. That’s like saying Ted bundy’s parents should go to prison for not stopping him

Did Bundy’s parents tell Ted’s friends to delete video of one of his killings? Or call one of his victims to agree to not tell the cops about it? (guess the analogy doesn’t work as well when talking about a dead person)

 

[ACvol3]

Comes back to an area (south) that’s he’s familiar with and

Maybe.. I’m just doubting it. Much easier path where he’s at

 

[volfanhill]

Hiring James Franklin with our Title 9 issues is beyond tone deaf.

Actually..... O sh!t.

We don't have title nine issues.

 

[UpstateVol613]

What is all this moral BS? We are hiring a football coach not a youth pastor.

FTR I don’t care if the head coach spits on babies if he wins like Saban. Give me the right kind of a$$hole.

 

[engineerVOL]

They also keep saying that the hire will come out of “left field” and are not mentioning Campbell at all. That’s Mr. Left Field

He is toward the left on a map.
