He is about to put the DC/Bmore area on lock down recruiting. Back in the old days Penn State got all the top DC area kids and the left overs were for everyone else.

What personality problems do you see? I'm not an expert on Franklin's personality or the culture at PSU. I thought this was a really good hire based on what I've seen Franklin do at Vandy.

He's a very good coach, but I think the sanctions are really going to take effect 3 to 4 years from now

The problem is that he is very detail-oriented. He is a micro-manager. I see a lot of decisions rubbing the Paterno fans the wrong way.

Like I said previously, I don't know a lot about Franklin but I just don't see him as a Penn State kind of coach. Does not mean he will not be successful. IMO he seems like a loose cannon which might rub some of the old school Joe Pa fans the wrong way.

I'd rather have a coach who pisses off some uppity boosters and wins. Than a sunshine pumper who can only win 8 or 9 games.

To hell with them, they are in the minority. Most of us level headed fans understand the difference. My only Franklin concern was the sabotage rumors.

So how much did vandy make off the buyout?
Posted on 1/11/14 at 6:16 pm to autodd03
The buyout value is unknown. There haven't been any mentions of it either that I have seen. I doubt the value will ever be disclosed unless PSU does or if someone looks closely enough at either Vandy or PSU's tax reports.
