Coach James Franklin's Feisty Post-Game Press Conference



Some highlights:
- CJF spoke every favorably of Georgia's fans for "coming early" and "staying late."
- He said Vanderbilt "compete with class" and "play with class"
- He specifically said: "I have tremendous respect for Coach Richt"


If anyone doubts CJF's passion, this will be an 8:16 minutes well spent.

UPDATE: Clay Travis writes on Outkick the Coverage that CJF's post-game presser is the "Gettysburg Address" of Vanderbilt Football. Clay's hyperbolic, but I think he might be on to something with this one.

I AM ABOUT TO RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL FROM SAN FRANCISCO. We have luckboxed into the best coach at the right time. If you're not ready to run through a brick wall for James Franklin you need to check yourself. LET'S DO THIS.

I was in the stands and at times was very frustrated at the opportunities that we had to get the win. But I got the sense that there was tremendous respect for Franklin from the Vandy faithful at how CJF got our guys to compete. Then after the game, Coach Franklin decided that he was not about to let his team get disrespected by some additional trash-talking from one of the UGA coaches. Even I was ready to line up and hit somebody after watching the effort in the 4th quarter. Several Vandy players were clearly overcome with emotion at the near victory. Just think, if we had picked up the bocked punt we would have been up on UGA with about 20 seconds left. That's how close we were. Oh well....there's much hope about the futire of the football program under CJF leadership. Very impressed with Franklin !! Go Dores !!

CJF is the man! How many times do we have to take this kind of crap from Georgia. Their d-coordinator is a big d-bag and if richt really has class that guy will be fired, this is not his first incident. I love the new Vandy, take no disrespect. Go dores!

CJF showed his class by not talking to media about UGA players throwing punches, taking cheap shots and taunting all night. "We're not gonna take stuff from anybody" says it all. I love this coach.

It's about making a play in crunch time - VU did not do it - moral stuff is kind of old. CJF will get us there

Apparently Festus has been suspended the first 6 games of the season for self-reported improper benefits. Anyone know what happened?

Logan Stewart is such a class act. We should be proud.
