Of course, that doesn't mean we won't be bowl-bound next year under a fiery CJF. On a gut feeling, I'll go ahead and predict that we will. And yeah, "book it."Seamus O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-41712896425236838082010-12-17T11:43:30.268-06:002010-12-17T11:43:30.268-06:00Yep, let's give him a chance. And let's gi...Yep, let's give him a chance. And let's give VCDW a little credit. The man knows much more than all of us put together about this search, and I'm quite sure has his reasons for hiring Franklin. He's not an idiot - if Franklin wasn't right, he wouldn't have gotten the job. While we all like the idea of Roman et al, either Roman didn't like us, or VCDW saw something he didn't like, and we should respect that. Franklin should be a good recruiter, with ties to regions we haven't traditionally exploited, and he seems young and energetic. Malzhan was just doing it for the money, I believe, and his heart probably wouldn't have been in the right place. <br /><br />I also like that this negoitation took a few days to sort out - shows Franklin wasn't just going to roll over and jump at the chance to be HC in the SEC. He most likely had real ideas about improvements, his compensation, and fitting the program to his image that he wasn't going to compromise on. I like it.<br /><br />Happy Festivus.Mahoneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-23061723353991205942010-12-17T11:37:26.522-06:002010-12-17T11:37:26.522-06:00We'll see how "happy" things are for...We'll see how "happy" things are for Pus Malzone when Auburn loses to the Ducks and Cam takes a pay cut off in the NFL. <br /><br />VU will get the last laugh in this.<br /><br />Book it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-50532547038191316782010-12-17T11:30:36.921-06:002010-12-17T11:30:36.921-06:00Like I said before, getting our second choice refl...Like I said before, getting our second choice reflects badly on no one: not Franklin, not David Williams, not Vanderbilt. This is a guy who in all likelihood is going to be able to sit down with parents of high-caliber players and convince them that Vanderbilt is the right place for their sons. Check your gripes at the door start thinking about all the ways a young, energetic, offensive-minded, talented recruiter and motivator like Franklin can turn around our program.Seamus O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-50995018781234341672010-12-17T11:23:10.644-06:002010-12-17T11:23:10.644-06:00I'll say it.

Vanderbilt got their 2nd choice, who in the end, might actually be a better fit than a certain Auburn coordinator would have been. First things first, let's hear what CJF has to say and the staff he puts together. But I think the characterizations of his as a "bad hire" are premature.Bobby O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690105481225344056noreply@blogger.com
