    Franklin's HCIW contract was that they pay him a million dollars if he was not the HC by the 2012 season. I am not really sure if we are agreeing or disagreeing, but it was apparent that the Buffoon was going to bring in his own man to be the coach and that Franklin was going to be out of a job. He was not fired but he the result would have been the same. I don't see any difference between Locksley bringing NM players to Maryland or Franklin bring Maryland players to Vandy.

    Could you please stop putting Franklin on some false pedestal and continually referring to our head coach as a "Buffoon"?

      Anyone know why this is?

      Franklin's relationships with area coaches are not as strong as Locksley's, but much stronger than anyone else than has coached at Maryland in recent years.

          I think you better get out and talk to some of them -- he has a used car salesman rep and has burned alot of bridges.

                          That's not what happened at all.

                          Franklin got the Vandy job offer. Franklin asked KA if he was going to be guaranteed the job the following season. KA said that he would have to interview for it. Franklin quit and took the job at Vandy.

                          KA did the absolute right thing for the University and fans were thrilled that we got out of that terrible contract.
                          Franklin did the best thing for him. Who wouldn't take a guaranteed HC job in 2011 or a chance at one in 2012 (or $1 million)

                          There is no evidence that Locksley is recruiting players to UMD so there's no reason to block them from coming here.
                          Likewise there is no evidence that the former DC Don Brown has been recruiting players to UConn so we've allowed players to transfer there.

                          This is 100% about James Franklin having improper communications with a player in a program and our coach not allowing him to benefit from it.

                            Not only that but Fridge wanted an extension, which means Franklin would have had to push out the guy who brought him up in the coaching world to even get the possibility of interviewing for a job that wasn't guaranteed. It was smart to just take another head coaching job and not have to worry about all that.

                              Besides a rise and the extension, Friedgen also demanded the million we were saving in Franklin's voluntary departure

                                  MARYLAND. The area they’re now calling the DMV—D.C./Maryland/Northern Virginia—might be the country’s richest talent mine.
