Vandy was on their way under Franklin.

2011 - 7-6
2012 - 9-4
2013 - 9-4

Won back-to-back bowl games. Went to 3 bowls in a row.

The way the east was last year there's a good chance they would have gone at least 4-4 if not 5-3. This year, they're probably an 8 win team under Franklin or 7 at worst. If that's the case then they're to their fifth bowl game in as many years.

In just the three years he was at Vandy they drastically changed the football culture. And it fell apart when Mason got there.

Consummate politician and excellent recruiter. Average in-game coach who hired Bob Shoop who was a solid DC.

Now they have a great defensive minded head coach, but a very average recruiter.

They need 2 things:

- Get a competent offense going

and

- They need to open up their pocketbooks and pay some of these mercenary recruiters to come be full time talent gatherers.

Like an Ed Orgeron (example, you keep your hands off of him).
