Vandy's James Franklin in line for an extension, raise

Vandy Vice Chancellor of Athletics David Williams confirmed to the Nashville Tennessean Sunday that talks are already underway that would both extend Franklin’s current deal for an unnamed number of years as well as give the first-year coach an undetermined bump in pay. It’s also believed Franklin will be seeking improved football facilities as well as raises for his assistants in the revamped deal. “I think we both want to get this done,” Williams told the paper. “We’re working as hard as we can to get something done as a quick as we can to solidify what is an already great situation. “My message to the Vandy fans is we will do everything we can to keep our coach. My message to those who have to play against Vandy is beware, because we will do everything we can to keep our coach. And I would say to the Vandy fans, do everything you can to help us at all times.”
