The Vanderbilt head coach said that he were to hire an assistant, he would have to look at their wife also, as it plays a factor. I'm honestly not even sure if he's serious or not about it.
"I've been saying it for a long time, I will not hire an assistant until I see his wife. If she looks the part and she's a D1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That's part of the deal. There's a very strong correlation between having the confidence, going up and talking to a woman, and being quick on your feet and having some personality and confidence and being articulate and confident, than it is walking into a high school and recruiting a kid and selling him."
Obviously, the comments did cause some controversy so here is what Franklin posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon:
My foot doesn't taste good, I hope I did not offend any1, I love & respect ALL,have a great day, enjoy the fam & don't forget 2 #AnchorDown
