It does seem incredibly shitty and disrespectful to have position coaches still on vandys payroll recruiting for penn st. If he wants the penn st job , he should take it and hit the road, but this lingering and taking the university that gave him his first hc opportunity for a ride seems classless and slimy. Jmo

Already past midnight so gonna start this new thread for the day upcoming.I have been on the phone and internet all night long trying to gather as much information about what's going on as I can. I don't want to be the guy that brings bad news or negative talk but I felt like I needed to bring our followers the information I have been told. Here it is...- I have talked with multiple reliable sources here in our area and I feel confident enough now to officially say James Franklin will be the next head coach at Penn St.- I have heard that Franklin has been booked to Penn St since earlier this week. I was told Franklin has calculated this whole time frame and almost purposely dragged this thing out. Now I truly don't know if that's what his intentions were but that's how it played out.- I was told Penn St has been his job all along and has been working behind the scenes calculating even his assistants to carry out particular tasks. If you remember earlier this week John Donovan and Bob Shoop began to follow Penn St recruits and I was told that was done on purpose and not done in favor for recruiting them to Vanderbilt.- I don't want to go too far with this but I was also told the assistants coaches very well know what it going on, maybe not all of them but some and have purposely said they have no idea so they could begin working behind closed doors for Penn St.- I was also told that Charles Bankins has been actively contacting current Penn St players and telling them he is excited about coaching them in Happy Valley. If you go look at who Bankins is following now current PSU TE Adam Brenneman will be found.- I have also been talking with some current Vandy players tonight and believe or not what all I just told you is exactly what they are starting to hear as well. Some players are starting to get real disgusted with this whole situation. They are still strong together as a team but feel lied to and misguided by Coach Franklin. The feeling is beginning to be that Franklin has wanted to get out of Vandy all along but was just waiting for that next great opportunity to leave.Now I know all this is probably a lot to see but like I said I felt like I needed to bring this info here from some trusted sources of mine so maybe the VU followers could get a better feel for whats goin on and maybe begin to look towards a new coach!#AnchorDown6 hours ago

So this dumbass lives under the impression that Vandy is a destination job?
Heh...

Coaches have always been notorious liars. The coaching business, like politics, has inherent sleaze aspects that will always exist. Always have to look out for #1 in the end. This isn't surprising.

when Vandy starts to think it is a destination job... Man, there must be some superb high class designer drugs smoked in that corner of the world..
When nutt was paid 3.5 mil to be hired by Ole Miss, he destroyed the recruiting tapes. Like Petrino wanted what he was recruiting...

Just now realized Vandy has their own team forum.

Whaaaat? PSU is a destination job unless you want to be an NFL HC. They have a 100,000 seat plus stadium, a enormous rabid fanbase, a winning tradition, plenty of money, get their games broadcast and have followings in NY / Philly / NJ and are the farthest Northeast true power school when it comes to recruiting (they have more prestige than Rutgers or BC when it comes to football) so they have a large population base to dominate. Vandy is known as the permanent weak sister of the SEC. Saying Vandy is a better job is insane.

Can you blame him? Vandy is not a destination job, there isn't a coach in America that wouldn't have jumped from VU to PSU. I expect most would take a pay cut too.
Well get ready for this stepping stone to kick your azz for the third year in a row. And I don't know how many years in a row it will be when Alabama and Florida beat you.
Charlie Strong wanted no part of that losing rocky-top culture.

Vandy is not a destination. It's a stepping stone to a destination. Not trying to be mean...just honest.

Nothing Jed said was really untrue.

At Vandy, I hear David Williams offered 10 years, approaching $50 million. That my friends is a lot. But, never was about money. He’s going to PSU
