VT has been bad since 1999 apparently.

Didn't we go to six or seven new years days bowls in the 12 or so years after that, ranked in the top 10 during a lot of that time? Also, he assumes the path to the playoffs is easier in the ACC than the B10 "because the ACC is so weak", ignoring the CFP trend to obviously favor the B10 and SEC. PSU might have a tough time winning the B10, but getting into the playoffs is easier for them than for ACC non champs, see Miami last year. IMO PSU fans generally know nothing about us and assume PSU has always been better than us. Their opinion on what would be good for us is worthless.

Was expecting an uninformed piece. Actually VERY spot on.**

Just saw on Facebook that Franklin was bringing 31 transfers from PSU....

So Franklin gets run out by PSU, but they say he’s perfect for VT? Got it.**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 08:35 AM ET
I'm still surprised he was fired based on his success at PSU,
HortHokie • 10/31/25 10:08 AM ET
Maybe they tired of JF's 3rd place ceiling being lower than expectations.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:01 PM ET
I don't get that narrative.
CyberHokie • 10/31/25 09:30 AM ET
The record of the teams he beat at Vandy was 86-180.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:20 PM ET
and VT will pay him 10 mil yr + 100 mil buyout**

To be fair, I don't know anything about PSU

Swagger I can buy,......
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 08:29 AM ET
I’ve never thought of PSU under Franklin as having “swagger”.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 08:50 AM ET
I didn't say or.....
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 09:50 AM ET
But you did say you can buy swagger.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:11 PM ET
You're entitled to your opinion......
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:18 PM ET
PSU trying to projected swagger would make for a great SECShorts scene.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:27 PM ET
What rationale is needed....
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:34 PM ET
An opinion about a feeling for what they were trying to do?
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:40 PM ET
No I would not.....
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:43 PM ET
Different scale, but both are still delusion as a program culture.**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 02:13 PM ET
He's a good fit for us and we're a good fit for him, I hope it happens**
BROman Hokie • 10/31/25 08:15 AM ET
IMO, VT isn't a particularly good fit for him & he's a lousy fit for VT.
