I cannot get the link to load on my work computer but in case it is not mentioned, he does this in fun and does it to help buiild a fan base. Wish our coaches were out in public inspiring people to become fans of the team.

Yeah, one of our coaches would try that at NorthPark and he'd be cuffed-and-stuffed and charged with harassment before you could blink. Sense of humor amongst the masses is on the wane.

“If I see a 6-foot-6 man walking in the mall with his wife, and she’s 6-2 and she’s pregnant, I’ll go up and offer their unborn child,” Franklin told The Tennessean. “I’m not exaggerating. I do that all the time. … It’s about developing a relationship with people. It’s about getting them connected with Vanderbilt. It’s about making people laugh and telling a story and having fun. It’s about having a sense of humor and not being some robot coach that I don’t want to be.”

"Franklin's past effort to be a non-robot coach included stating his preference for assistant coaches with attractive wives. . . . "

"Considering how far the once-moribund Commodores progressed under his watch, who are we to argue with his methods?"

Funny stuff. Great way to sell the program - there's obviously a reason Vandy is getting better recruits.

Wow, does it have to be at NorthPark? There are other malls out there that are not so uptight and snoody. Anyway, nice change of pace at Vandy with Coach Franklin.

As usual, it all goes hand-in-hand:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/22563294/vanderbilt-suspends-four-football-players

Four unnamed Vanderbilt football players have been suspended pending an investigation into what the school called a violation of team rules in a statement it released on Friday.

...

Meanwhile,The Tennessean is reporting that a "sex crimes investigation" is behind the suspensions.

I think SMU has had some players with sex crimes as well.
