Posting History (196)

I upped my giving when we hired Pry, and will do the same again

whether its Franklin, Chesney or another big time up and coming coach. hopefully other alumni can spare an extra few hundred a year, it all adds up!

Hopefully JF gets us back to winning and we can join the P2

He’s a fantastic coach and recruiter. He stole many many players out of VA

And his players loved him. Bet you he brings many with him to VT when he signs very soon.

We need someone who can coach players. Not just get good players

Even Saban had to COACH his 5*s who thought they were all that. Takes coaching and that’s what we’re showing we’re willing to pay for and fight the rest of P2 to get

We want to show everyone we’re willing to compete with the P2 for JF

That’s why we did it. It’s not overplaying anything. JF could pull in a much better first class of transfers simply by name recognition alone over Chesney. Just my opinion, but he’s our top guy.

Kirk says

β€œThis guy can coach, this guy can recruit, this guy can develop. He’s in the ACC. If he builds a program anywhere close to what he had at Penn State, we are winning 11 and 12 every year,” Herbstreit added. β€œWe are competing for the ACC Championship every year. If he does what he did at Penn State and he brings it at Blacksburg, we are in the mix every year.”

I won’t, but If we end up with a HC with zero HC experience that’s a bad

Sign that nobody wants this job. However I don’t think that happens this go around.

Yep agreed, in this case I’m thinking it’s his ego.

I fear if he succeeds after 2 years he’ll have one foot out the door looking to jump to a bigger school

Maybe it’s just me but I’m surprised VT has JF this interested

We still have a LOT to be desired from an outside perspective of a HC of this caliber. Only thing I can think of is JF knows he isn’t getting a big time gig as he’s a proven top 10 loser? What makes him so interested, coming from a lower school in PSU to VT seeing how far we’ve fallen? I guess he thinks he can pull in a bunch of transfers and win immediately? Hoping today is the day
