Are people too full of pride to admit what Franklin has done? Vandy was a bottom dweller for decades. Now they are winning 9 and bowling. I hate them. I don't like him. I hope he leaves.

It's really not a pride thing, it's a fact thing. Check out the combined record of the teams Vandy has beaten this year (and last). It's a world under .500. This year? One team with a winning record, a battered Georgia team who would have beaten Vandy if not for 3 4th quarter turnovers. Would have lost at home to Wake Forest if not for a long 4th down conversion miracle catch (again) by Matthews.

Hardly world beating stuff there, even if it is being done at Vandy. That being said, he might be a great fit for USC, and following he who would not be named has a certain poetry to it. Good luck JF.

Two that we couldn't beat. Mind you he also did that on a smaller budget and with players who could likely meet a higher academic academic standards than our guys.

And had fewer stars, with lower profile assistants and won close games.

Franklin achieved at Vandy what 254134 coaches before him failed to do. Seems good to me.

We beat USC, he couldn't.

Our coach needs time, just like Franklin has had.

Not saying JF is a bad coach by any means.. But JORDAN MATTHEWS is making him look a hell of a lot better than he is. You know how many wins that guy is responsible for by himself? Look at the past 2 weeks as examples.

Same amount of wins against ranked opponents as UT

And he's above .500 his last 2 years in conference. 9-7

So he's awesome since he has same number of wins against ranked team as a UT program that is at the complete bottom does.

Look, we ALL hope Franklin leaves so that Vandy returns to being mediocre and we can beat them again. it's just like hoping that #FireMarkRicht and #FireWillMuschamp succeed in Athens and Gainesville. We would much rather compete with Jim Donnan, Ray Goff and Ron Zook. (Though I am beginning to wonder if Wil Muschamp is Zook 2.0)..

GoVols!

Franklin is using the last bit of gas in the car that Bobby Johnson left him. That car has been coasting downhill the last two years; most of the playmakers have been Johnson's recruits. He will have two 9 win seasons and have only beat 3 or 4 winning teams. If he succeeds at USC, he will personify "Fake it til you make it"

Seems pretty clear that A) he is a good coach who has B) done an outstanding job at Vanderbilt, which C) has nevertheless looked even better than it probably really is, thanks to a terrible schedule and the traditional SEC East teams being crummy. We're not going to know how good he is until he goes someplace where he doesn't get graded on a curve. He should obviously be near the top of most schools' lists, although it seems like a bit of a reach for a program like USC.

I wonder what the USC AD's wife looks like. I know that Franklin evaluates people based on their wives looks.

And I really think that's horrible.
