Vanderbilt has extended the contract of head football coach James Franklin. Let's take a look at this season at Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt is bowl eligible with a 6-6 record and will play in the Autozone Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31st, a game that I will blog about on December 31st. As for Vanderbilt they ranked as the #38 most productive team this season with the #65 ranked offense and the #12 ranked defense. Given Vanderbilt has played against a more difficult strength of schedule than average (58.58), their improvement in the win/loss columns and in terms of their overall productivity seems to be a reason coach Franklin was mentioned as a canidate for other head coaching positions and as a result a reason for his increase in salary.
