I don't get the love for Franklin. How many teams with winning records has he beaten the last two years?

Vandy has scared the hell out of much more talented teams for the past 3 years, and upset 8-4 UGA, and beat Ole Miss and NC State last year. Not to mention beating Tennessee and keeping them out of a bowl game 2 years in a row. Franklin has done more with less at Vanderbilt, in the SEC, with limited resources. Watch what happens to Vandy when he leaves.

The last time Vandy had back to back winning seasons was 1974/1975. From 1975 to 2010, Vandy had 2 winning seasons. Let me say that again, 35 years...2 winning seasons!

Franklin was hired in 2011 and has made a bowl game in each of his first 3 seasons. Prior to Franklin, Vandy had been to 4 bowl games. Franklin is one season and one bowl game away from achieving in 4 years what it took the Vandy program 120 years to accumulate.

I don't mean to be rude, but your statement is ignorant. James Franklin has proven he can win in the toughest conference in the country at a school with the highest academic requirements and zero fan support. A school not one single person has ever been able to win at. He is 15-5 in his last 20 games.
