Yeah, Larry Fedora isn't impressed:
“What does [Franklin] say about the kids that were committed elsewhere and de-committed from their places to go to his place? That’s my comment. What is his comment on those people? He’s got someone in his recruiting class that did that very thing. He’s saying those guys are not men of honor? Basically, he’s saying he has got kids in his own recruiting class that are not men of honor. He said that, and I didn’t.”Hey, I love me a good pissing contest. My money is on the guy who is named after a hat, as opposed to an asshat. Blutarsky, as per usual, has a good take on that side of it.
My question is this: What about Franklin's actions suddenly make him some cult hero or actually make Vanderbilt a force to be reckoned with? Just talking to the casual Georgia (or SEC, for that matter) fan, you would think he signed a Top 10 class. He did...Top 10 in the conference. Yes, they were more competitive than normal, but they beat no team with a winning record. The closest they came was their game against Georgia.
Someone is going to have to explain to me why Franklin isn't Lane Kiffin, but with a lesser coaching pedigree. Is it because of his 'We aren't going to take it' attitude and the fact he wanted to fight Todd Grantham?
What I saw was a team that was undisciplined to the point of danger and that had the inability to close. Definitely sounds like Kiffin to me.

He does seem very similar to Kiffin in a very douchey sort of way. Unfortunately, Vandy's ceiling is so incredibly low that he looks like the second coming of Bear Bryant.
They also scared the crud out of Arkansas that everyone seems to think was better than UGA. I don;t buy it, I think UGFA wins that game, but based on this comment opponent, it wold have been very close.
