When asked about the difference between Vanderbilt, his former employer, and Penn State, Franklin said values. At Vanderbilt, which is in the SEC, Franklin says the top priority was always football.

"They don't make any excuses or try to justify, that's really their reason for existence," Franklin says.

At Penn State, Franklin says there's an emphasis on education and an athlete receiving a well-rounded experience. Additionally, with recruiting, he says his goal is to capture student athletes that are going to be "great fits here socially as well as academically."


That dang Vandy football factory.


Franklin - speaks only the truth.

Yeah, because when I hear "Vanderbilt Football" I think of win at all costs.

It sure takes some balls to claim the school that covered up multiple child molestations has better values.

It appears that everyone is now seeing this guy for the phony douche that he's always been.

If the staged locker room reality show camera angle pep talks weren't giveaways.

Wow, what a tool.

Vandy, where academics come second.

Give me a fricking break.

Is this guy really trying to say Penn St is more about academics than football and Vandy is more about football than academics? Does he really believe his own bullshite?

He is going to be a fantastic HC.

I all of the sudden don't like Franklin now and hope he melts under the JoePa spotlight and fails miserably. What a complete douche Franklin is.

I'm pretty sure "win at all cost" is why Paterno and his ilk allowed a serial child predator on their campus and facilities until shite hit the fan. What a joke of a man. He'll fit in well at Penn State.
