It didn't work out for Penn State, but I still think James Franklin is a good coach and he's very likeable. Turning Vanderbilt from nothing from something is nothing to ignore. I think he will do well at Virginia Tech and I hope he does.

That was pretty cool. Franklin seems like a pretty genuine guy. He'll do well at VT. The ACC is very winnable.

He has already flipped 5-6 Penn State commits to Va Tech.

Well yeah, a very easy conference to dominate. Smart move on his part. He will do very well there.

Why was he crying about a coach that got fired

I thought Brent Pry must have died and Franklin was taking over for him

This is dumb

Yeah Franklin is all talk. Talks a big game, says the right things, but is just a second tier coach at best.

This changed my (not very important) opinion of Franklin.

Heard a really good story about Franklin the other day. When he was at Vandy, he was recruiting a kid from Atlanta. The player's sister and brother-in-law hosted the in-home visit. Most of the family were big Tennessee fans, and the sister had taught her 2 year old son Rocky Top.

At some point in the visit, Franklin was sitting on the floor rolling/tossing a ball with the 2 year old. The kid starts singing Rocky Top and doing the clapping thar goes with it, and Franklin is sitting there with him clapping along.
