Following the 2012 Music City Bowl between Vanderbilt and NC State, Vandy football coach James Franklin stopped the press conference to show his appreciation by hugging a fan.

Just before Vanderbilt celebrated its selection in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl against NC State, the school announced that coach James Franklin received a contract extension that includes more money and guarantees more facilities upgrades. Franklin's assistants are also expected to receive raises. Athletic director David Williams called the well-deserved extension a "long-term" contract that will keep Franklin at Vandy for "a number of years."

Following the team’s 27–26 win at Ole Miss last Saturday, Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin threw the team mascot over his shoulder and carried him to the locker room to celebrate with the rest of the team. He picks him up at the 5:30 mark...

Vanderbilt ditched both Northwestern and Ohio State games, opting for a 2013 nonconference slate of Austin Peay, Massachusetts, UAB and Wake Forest. Vanderbilt spokesman Rod Williamson did not return a phone call seeking comment. They did the deed by a letter sent via U.S. mail.
