"I'd still be at Vanderbilt if it wasn't just such an unbelievable opportunity," he said. "We're coming with the mindset we're going to build this program. ... We plan on being here a very, very long time. This is my dream job; this is where I want to be."
So far, he seems to be something of a cultist referring to "the great Joe Paterno" and throwing the "success with honor" bull[Mark May] around. Perhaps, he's been counseled to throw the cult a few early bones, but we'll see. He might be very easy to hate, which was not the case with Bill "One Foot Out The Door" O'Brien.
Attorneys: James Franklin contacted victim in Vanderbilt rape case
Defense attorneys for a former Vanderbilt University football player charged with rape filed a scorched-earth motion Tuesday asking a judge to dismiss the case or reprimand prosecutors for destroying or failing to preserve evidence.
In a detailed, 24-page filing, the defense team for Brandon Vandenburg wrote that "crucial and material information to the defense of VANDENBURG was destroyed or not preserved."

Vandenburg is one of four former players each charged with five counts of aggravated rape in what police said was an assault on a 21-year-old female student in Vandenburg's Gillette Hall dorm room on June 23.
The defense said evidence provided through discovery included disks with empty file folders and video surveillance in which 55 percent of what was filmed on 14 campus cameras has been deleted.
The filing also includes a new allegation about interactions between the alleged victim and former head football coach James Franklin and former director of performance enhancement Dwight Galt — both now at Penn State University.
Referring to records, the attorneys said the victim was contacted by Franklin and Galt during a medical examination four days after the rape to explain "that they cared about her because she assisted them with recruiting."
It went on to say that at some point, "Coach Franklin called her in for a private meeting and told her he wanted her to get fifteen pretty girls together and form a team to assist with the recruiting even though he knew it was against the rules. He added that all the other colleges did it."
Contd....
Yeah, they never slept with me either.Hey, if convincing coeds to sleep with high school kids is wrong, lord know I've never been wrong on that count.
Joe did the right thing.
I can't even read that board anymore. They've turned it into "The media scolded Penn State for NOT trying to contact the shower victim...now they're mad that Franklin tried to contact this victim because he cared about her."https://bwi.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=36&mid=172552972&sid=890&tid=172552972&style=1
Sorry - I had to check out the Penn State cult's reaction. It took a whole 11 posts to find it, but here it is:
