Gene Chizik is going to Louisville with Petrino as his DC.
Yep, that's a good hire, both from the standpoint of schemes and recruiting. Chizik won't be a head coach again.

I hear Jimmy Franks to Penn State will be announced tomorrow.
The Vandy boards are in meltdown - the Rivals mods broke some bad news to them, it seems to be coming from the Penn State mods.

Also, Penn State boards are tracking a flight from Destin (where Franklin was supposedly located) back to PSU.

Small update: Apparently, the Vandy AD, David Williams, does not know the whereabouts of Franklin.

Oh ... well ... I guess your customer was right. Perhaps Saban really didn't like that Nussmeier was adding in some hurry-up offense.

Finebaum addressed that yesterday too. He mentioned the part of Kiffin looking over Nussmeier's shoulder

I can believe Kiffin to UA with Saban. Both have the same agent. I didn't think Kiffin was going to lower himself to be a co-ordinator. Wasn't that what he said?

Great opportunity for Kiffin to save himself and his career.

Like him or not, Kiffin is a very good offensive mind.

Penn State offered Jimmy Franks last night. The PSU President and AD flew to Destin, FL to meet with Jimmy and offer him.

How big is Vanderbilt's vault? I would assume that it is big enough to make Franklin the highest paid coach in the nation AND to have the largest assistant coach payroll AND to build a big huge stadium AND give away every ticket so that the seats are full.

"Vanderbilt AD David Williams has made it clear to us and to CBS Sports that he is prepared to empty the vault to keep James Franklin at Vanderbilt." -- Footballscoop.com
They could make every poster on here the highest paid coach in the nation. I believe it is over a billion.

Thanks Tex. I just knew they had an endowment that the education folks did not want to dip into for sports. Yet, they show up every year at the SEC meeting to collect their check.

I don't believe Williams would be allowed to give Franklin Saban money by the egg heads of the university. It is just not the Vandy way.

If he was offered the PSU HC, he should go. They have had the best years in football recently and Franks was still out and about pleading with fans to attend the WF game. He won't have that problem at PSU.

They were dang near close to giving money to people so that they would take a ticket ... I think if you bought a chalupa at Taco Bell in the Nashville area, it came with two complimentary tickets on the 30.

Yeah, it sure seemed that this is the conclusion with the events of last night.

If Franklin were to accept the job, I wonder how he leaves? Is he a "team meeting, tears, and hugs" kind of coach (like Jones) or a "screw you all" kind of coach (like Kiffin)? I believe he is more like Jones, but it is hard for me to read the genuineness of a salesman until a day like this.

Franklin has cancelled his Washington Redskins interview set for today. << This is because Jay Gruden was selected as the Head Coach, and not because Franklin is going to Penn State.

By the way, Franklin to PSU actually could hurt Tennessee more than if he had stayed. We have been recruiting the DC area pretty well over the last few years - part of that was because PSU is down.
