This is Horrible

I don't get all of this Franklin hate. He's a good coach and he can recruit. Everything he's done has been in the defense of the program he works for and I've yet to see him break any major rules. If this guy can win at Tennessee, you'd be a moron to not hire him because you "didn't like him."

I'm a moron then.. cause I HATE that mother****er... HATE!!!

4th in the east isnt good enough.. maybe good for Vandy but not for UT.

4th in the East in only his second year at....VANDY!

Surely you're not too dumb to realize that. You do know that he coaches at...VANDY, right?

Back to back bowl games and a huge rivalry win over UT is plenty good enough. Because at UT he will have a larger recruiting budget, better facilities, better players, more money for assistants, better program tradition, better everything.

Giving those resources, he could go from 4th to 1st.

Only 30%? You're being a bit generous there.

Yeah.. I know he coaches Vandy.. and thats where the scum sucker needs to stay.. the delusional Vandy fans and Franklin are perfect for each other. Both think they are better than they actually are.

Some of you need to give the new coach a chance. He hasn't been hired yet and you are calling sub 500 seasons already. No TN isn't LSU, GA, or BAMA so yes it's hard to recruit here that is why we have the highest recruiting budget here. Guys accept the fact that we aren't hiring anyone with SEC experience any HC with SEC head coaching experience is in the SEC. Unless you all want a Kirby Smart be patient. Every person that has bashed Strong, Gundy, Fedora etc non have provided a name of a respectable coach who they would prefer. Some of you just want to complain and trash the program. I am starting to think you care nothing about the program.

When Dooley was hired, he was seventh on the list. How far down the list are we now?

He hasn't yet? Back to back bowl seasons at Vandy? First home win over UT in what 30 years?

Sounds like getting it done to me.

Didn't beat a team with a winning record this year. Beat us while we are in the midst of the worst 3 years in over 100 years of football. He didn't have a winning record against Dooley, not many coaches can say that.

Then go be a Candy fan. Franklin is always stumping for more.

What does that even mean? "Always stumping for more"?

Did you run out of valid reasons to dislike Franklin, so you're only left with the fact that he coaches somewhere else and "stumps"?

Last time I checked almost every coach we're after coaches somewhere else. So why don't you go cheer for TCU, FSU, Louisville, or Oklahoma.... idiot.

He was 1-1 against Dooley. Sure he didn't beat a team with a winning record, but guess what...when they were winning 1-4 games a year, they were losing to teams with losing records. Now they're beating those teams.

To pretend he hasn't completely turned that program around in almost no time at all, is atrocious.

If you read into the hype and media, Dave Hart has only interviewed Gundy and Strong...Volquest mentioned Hart was "supposedly" going to interview Jimbo F. sometime Monday. Gruden was a pipe dream and nothing more. He wanted to assemble an NFL staff but Hart is playing with food stamp money thanks to that re-re Hamilton.

Vince Lombardi could rise from the dead and this crowd would go ballistic because he didn't have college head coach experience. Give it a break, let the powers that be get us a coach and be a VFL and support him and our team.

Contradict yourself much?

If people fear a bad hire and losing, how do they not care about the program? If anything, they care too much about the program and are desperate to see the team be relevant again. Face it, we're not relevant at the moment unless someone is telling a joke. 27 loses in the last 4 seasons. Please forgive us for worrying about another lame duck coach.

Fwiw, 1. Gundy 2. Fedora 3. Strong. And by 3, I mean shoot me if that happens. Will be 3 more years of scraping by Troy, UAB and probably losing to Wyoming.

James Franklin can get it done in the SEC!

James Franklin was the beneficiary of historically weak SEC schedule. Franklin defeated exactly ZERO teams with a winning record including all of his non-conference opponents.

In the SEC, the 5 victories came against teams with a combined 6 wins and 34 losses...averages out to about a 1-7 record.

Including non-conference teams, they defeated teams with a combined record of 29-66.

Yes, he can get it done if he gets to play a bunch of 1-7 SEC teams. Plus, recall that the victory over Missouri came when their QB got hurt in the first half, and Missouri had just suspended 3 or 4 players just a couple of days before they played.

So, given that set of circumstances, I guess you can say Franklin can get it done.

If you like no better then 4th in the east.

4th in the SEC east with Vandy's resources. Are you really dumb enough not to get that? Look at his record at Vandy compared to Saban's first two years at Michigan St. What's more impressive to you, 6-6 at MI ST or 8-4 at Vandy?
