Vanberbilt Coach James Franklin Only Hires Assistants With Attractive Wives
Vanderbilt went 6-7 in their first season under head coach James Franklin. It was a huge improvement from the previous two seasons which saw the Commodores win just 4 games combined. The secret to Coach Franklin’s success? Hot wives and the confidence that they represent. From Coaching Search.com:
“I’ve been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant until I see his wife. If she looks the part and she’s a D1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That’s part of the deal. There’s a very strong correlation between having the confidence, going up and talking to a women, and being quick on your feet and having some personality and confidence and being articulate and confident, than it is walking into a high school and recruiting a kid and selling him.”
That’s a fair point. Plus, as the head coach of a division I football program, Franklin probably doesn’t want to get stuck with some fuggo at the annual coaches retreat key party. Initial Google result returned nothing worthwhile, but we must now assume that all these guys have hot wives. Doubt they measure up to Kumi Franklin though. Hubba hubba!

you know, there’s a pretty decent correlation between a super hot chick and a superstar athlete. it makes a lot of sense actually.
as long as you promise em a sick ride, they won’t tell you who they’re fucking on the side.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:23 AM
What could possibly go wrong with making a statement like this? All the fugly chicks will come out of the woodwork on this one. There are things you think and things you say in public, this wouldn’t be on my public list.

There’s a very strong correlation between having the confidence, going up and talking to a women
but now that i actually read this….it’s stupid. how many guys score women by approaching them? there’s a lot of ways to meet women–bumping into them, crashing into them with your car, stealing from them, having them aproach you, being introduced by a friend, etc.
you don’t always have to lock eyes across the room, then make your move with some witty line. that typed, i want his wife to wear that hat and nothing else when she approaches me
May 31st, 2012 at 11:26 AM
Kumi can get it tho.

All of this right here. His employer is probably thrilled.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Few things in life are more gratifying than hooking up with a girl out of your league looks-wise. You can’t help but have a positive attitude and winners’ mentality during those times.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:29 AM
If anything it should be the qualified men with ugly wives that come out of the woodwork. Then again if they were qualified they would probably have good looking wives. Oh I see. Mr. Franklin is right.
May 31st, 2012 at 11:29 AM
all the fugly chicks WILL come out…and bring their fat sons that are offensive lineman recruits and franklin wins again!
I don’t want no part of your tight-ass country club ya freak bitch!

i will default to assuming you are being funny.
however, if you are implying that admitting you are a shallow, looks-first type is the same as the type that forces a woman to have sex, ….no, you have to be trying to be funny, because i know you are are not stupid

it may not be smart professionally, but how often do we hammer folks for being hypocritical, two-faced, pc, etc? he may get a rebuke from his bosses and maybe have to publicly recant, which would send him back into the group of folks who are afraid to speak their mind. on the other hand, he can feel any way he wants but can keep his mouth shut

Michael Bluth: G.O.B., weren’t you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act?
Gob: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn’t ready to hear either.

Nothing to plan. Everyone knows when the game is.
May 31st, 2012 at 12:01 PM
He’s a total prick, but the dude seems to be a decent coach. We know he’s a great recruiter, but one year does not a great coach make. He needs to prove it on the field. I can’t wait for the Vandy game this year as a Georgia fan. This year will be the first time I look forward to the Vandy game thanks to Franklin acting like a bitch on the field against UGA and on the recruiting trail.

Nothing to apologize for. I didn’t even pencil the Tigers in. I just don’t have a good response right now. So, I deflect until september.
