We have completely became Mississippi State!!!

No idea what that even means. Franklin has proven only that Vandy now can beat teams with losing records, something they didn't always do in the past. They are paying him well and he doesn't have to win to keep his job. Plus, do you really think Hart would have given Franklin, who's obviously loyal to Vandy, the chance to publicly turn down the UT job? No way, it's a PR nightmare. Butch Davis is a great coach and I would love to have him but despite all his pleadings to the contrary, UNC did get in NCAA trouble on his watch and in our situation with the NCAA, we just don't need that right now. Strong is solid and Louisville is in the BCS with a team full of sophomores and juniors. Our team was full of sophomores and juniors...... And before you say "that's the Big East not the SEC," I'll say if you beat your peers, whatever conference you play in, you're a winner. Is Chris Peterson no good because he's at Boise? Saban won at Toledo, Meyer at Bowling Green, Tressel at Youngstown - are they not worthy? Strong's a winner and reportedly wants the job. I'd take him over any of the three other SEC hires this offseason, no question. Go Vols!!!
