Title: Ha. The national media is ripping James Franklin for
Post by: Clockwork Orange on March 14, 2013, 07:55:29 EDT
some sour grapes didn't-want-him-anyway tweets re: Jalen Hurd. Funny thing is, they may have had nothing to do with Jalen as they were tweeted yesterday. But I will take any national criticism of Franklin-- who, frankly, can suck it.

All Flea'd from FL98:

A sour-grapey tasting tweet from James Franklin after a big in-state RB commits to Tennessee does not advance Vandy's cause.

James Franklin sounds like a sore loser. https://twitter.com/jamesfranklinvu/statuses/312005451669729280 …

A coach. A grown man. Dropping to Twitter to subtweet a recruit. Incredible.

He's an idiot, being a prick to the state's #1 recruit gets noticed.

This is one of those gray areas with the new rules concerning social media.  In the past it was a recruiting violation for a coach to mention or refer to a recruit before they had signed a letter of intent.  

Interesting to see if anything comes out of this.  

EDIT: And shall I add, James Franklin really is an ass clown.  His star has peaked and he'll fall just as quickly as he rose.

Hope so.  This feels like the beginning of the end.   :naughty:

If UT gets back to prominence it will be harder for him to keep bringing in good recruits to Vandy. I expect he will leave for another job in 1-2 years.
