It may be true, but he could have put it differently.  How do you judge a "D1 recruit" wife?  Ask CGM.

This subject was already posted, but the relationship between his assistants and there wives will never be the same. It'll be the 300 pound (no offense) gorilla in the room at every team social event. No small matter for Vandy to deal with.

I don't know why this is getting so much attention. He was just trying to make a joke. It turned out to be in poor taste but still a joke. I don't know why the Vandy folks care. They don't take their football serious and never have. They play in a 47,000 seat dump of a stadium that is the worst in the SEC. They don't even have a real AD. I don't know what they do with all the money they make off being in the SEC but they don't put in back into the athletic department. When they get their check this week at the SEC meeting in Destin they will laugh their azz off all the way back to Nashville. They have been on a SEC free ride for years.

If this were true, Shula and Kiffin would have the best recruiting classes every year, IMO  8)

Granted they aren't/weren't assistants, but ya get my point.

Football pays for all the other sports at Vandy. He may have been kidding but he left an unforgettable memory in the minds of the less attractive wives of assistants at Vandy. Probably every coaching family in America is taking inventory at their house. LOL

I think they are different skill sets:  approaching women versus selling your program to recruits and their families.  Unless that is how Franklin approaches recruits -- "How would you like to come over to my place?"

Or, "Ever seen a grown man naked?"

Would you like to see the 2nd most beautiful thing on campus today?

Sign with Vandy, then we will put a ring on your finger.

This thread has taken an unexpected direction.  I predict that hilarity shall ensue.  Let's hear your best recruit pick up lines.

:lol: :lol:

Is your name Gillette? Because you’re the best a man can get!

Do you have a BandAid? I just scraped my knee falling over you.

Excuse me, but I’m new in town, can I have directions to your place?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Might want to start a new thread, or modify the title of this one.

"I'll bet your Mama named you 'Sweet Thing'!" Hope this helps Vandy pick up a recruit.

"You probably won't win a national championship ring but you'll sure look good wearin' nothin'!"

FIFY

BTW, I used to use this, "My old girlfriend is over there with a date and I don't have anyone. I'll buy you a beer-- you act interested in me--only for a few minutes?"  Gauranteed to be in the door. The rest is up to you.
