    Can't remember the specifics when we hired Strong. I know we looked at both coaches and hindsight is always 20-20 but damn.

    Franklin is pretty shady.

    What's he done? Sure like to have those 10 win seasons he's put up in a pretty tough conference.

    I'll defer to Sabre's insight on what Franklin has done.

    There were some real or perceived character issues. An issue/incident or two at Vanderbilt as I recall...but I don’t remember the specifics.

    SN,

    Sorry but rape and gang rape do not fall under "shady" in my book. These were not accusations, since I believe THREE of his players received prison sentences.

    10 win Seasons or not, I would not want this guy to be coach at Texas. College football win loss records are not all there is to college football.

    Agree. The rapes you can only partially put on the coach as to who he recruits and was there anything overlooked. What he does with it is all on him. Lying about something like that should have gotten him fired. So yea, now that I know the connection I get it. Not quite as bad as Briles, as Briles worked directly with the Waco PD, but clearly enough to keep him out of Austin.
