Head coach James Franklin discussed a wide range of Vanderbilt football Wednesday afternoon during a 30-minute sitdown with 104.5 The Zone’s 3-Hour Lunch bunch – Brent Dougherty, Clay Travis and Blaine Bishop.
From coaching up his young daughters on “building championships” to explaining the concept of grayshirting, describing the rare emotion of hearing a recruit say “yes” to Vanderbilt the night before National Signing Day, Franklin talked on a variety of subjects. Including his only expectation of the half hour: “I want 10,000 at the Black & Gold Spring Game (on April 17). That’s right, 10,000.”
