Franklin's character and history are disqualifying, but the guy can coach, and was responsible for a memorable moment for me. He got the job at Penn State based in part for coaching Vandy to an upset win that season over Georgia 31-27 in 2013. I happened to be at that game, and Vandy scored a touchdown early on a fake field goal in a way I've never seen before or since. Fourth down on the Georgia 2-yard line; the ball was snapped to the holder and the kicker started forward as if to make the kick, but the holder held the ball up, the kicker grabbed it on the run and scored untouched through a small hole that the line had opened up. It was so unexpected that early in the game, a thrilling and well-executed play. I quickly got tired of the Georgia fans barking throughout the game, though (and there were more Georgia fans than Vandy fans in the stadium).
