Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 1500500, member: 702"] It was more complicated than that. It was really a bungled succession plan, one that had been in the works for a couple of years before Fridge's firing. The idea had been that James Franklin would succeed Fridge. He was even announced as coach-in-waiting. When Fridge made it clear that he wasn't ready to retire just yet, Franklin took the Vanderbilt job. Before Franklin left, the AD had even announced that Fridge was coming back for 2011. Then he was fired a few weeks later. [/QUOTE]
