re: SEC Coaches Not As Likely To Move On

And outside of football what is there for your school Porter?The point being is that vandy has two factors, Nashville and academics that can't be beat in the sec. There are plenty of publications that label Nashville as one of the hottest cities in the country, and we all know Vandy's academic prestige. Vandy's main con is lack of a football tradition, which the administration is trying very hard to turn around right now. What Franklin has done is genius, he's turned our biggest weakness (academic restrictions) into one of our biggest selling points. Motivated players can play for a good team and receive the best education for free at the same time. It's the smart thing to do considering how few players actually make it to the NFL. Yes, your school may have a better program in a specific area of study, but you are most likely going to be better off going to Vandy.

I think Vandy keeps Franklin as long as the administration gives him a chance to be competitive. We may not be Alabama where we can compete for the NC every year, but I think we can field a consistent bowl team and the occasional contender (every 10 years).
