Most anyone who's followed college football knows that Vanderbilt University has been one of the least successful programs in the SEC and nationally over a rather long period of time.
That's been changing the past couple of years under coach James Franklin. Franklin has gotten the Commodores to a couple of bowl games and been able to recruit with the Tennessee's and Georgia's of the world.
Sure, it's not been without some controversy. At least four Vandy players were dismissed from the team and are facing possible rape charges among other things. A recent follow up story in BuzzFeed.com claims that Franklin helped in a cover-up of the incident in question.
But at this time there is no proof Franklin did anything wrong and he's not accused or charged nor being questioned about it.
At this point in his head coaching career, what he's done in Nashville has been nothing sort of amazing. And one of things he's tried very hard to do is bring some tradition, some unity--to try and grow the Vanderbilt football program.
And for that we say bravo.
Check out this video done by the school, where Franklin explains to his team what their new "Anchor Down Ceremony" means to him and should mean to them.
Well done sir.
