Not saying you are wrong, but…..

From an extremely well connected source, I have been told that Stoops (UK) was in town last week and Franklin has been in town this week. Does not mean either will be our next head coach, but obvious both have interest.

All smoke, no fire. JF is not going to be the next VT coach.
Hokie_Dawg • 10/31/25 09:07 AM ET
well, i'm not sure there has even been any real "smoke"
Vippie1 • 10/31/25 11:08 AM ET
Yeah, I'm amazed at how much people get sucked in by purposeful smoke.**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:02 PM ET
My guess is his agent Sexton wanted $11M annually 5+ yr contract**
MKD • 10/31/25 10:42 AM ET
Off his rocker, loss of fee**
TomTurkey • 10/31/25 11:37 AM ET
I would tell that agent to kiss my grits **

For that he better guarantee multiple ACC championships and playoff bids
EDGEMAN • 10/31/25 10:45 AM ET
Agents are greedy and they make sure no money can be taken off the table.**
MKD • 10/31/25 11:00 AM ET
I think odds against JF 2 VT, but "in play" because he's "Mark Richt"...
Techsupport • 10/31/25 10:36 AM ET
Could not agree more.**
OneStarHokie • 10/31/25 10:11 AM ET
Y'all gotta let go of this Justin Fuente mess...**

Actually we didn't.

John Fogerty has a new album to promote- he doesn't have time right now**

Keep on chooglin'**
TomTurkey • 10/31/25 12:30 PM ET
Uhhhhh, no... More like 7th or 8th. Nuking this hire is the new "in thing."**

Meeting/interview would not have been in B'burg. **
True Hokie • 10/31/25 04:49 PM ET
Huh? 2-5 (0-5) Kentucky that is dead last in SEC?
HokieAl • 10/31/25 10:53 AM ET
If VT had a nickel for every well connected source...**
OneStarHokie • 10/31/25 10:13 AM ET
THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS
TheFacts • 10/31/25 10:10 AM ET
Maybe they were meeting here to discuss the LSU or UF jobs?**
EDGEMAN • 10/31/25 10:43 AM ET
LOL. But doubtful. LSU and UF will have better options than Franklin**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:04 PM ET
Some Razorback guy on X said Arkansas powers that be met with Franklin in
bburgnative • 10/31/25 01:02 PM ET
Yeah, sure they did. 😏**
RJHokie • 10/31/25 01:05 PM ET
Now that would be some 3D chess.
Truthahn • 10/31/25 11:25 AM ET
I would like the Mark Stoops from five years ago
HokiesACC2004 • 10/31/25 09:52 AM ET
Why would we want Stoops?**
Kelleigh84 • 10/31/25 09:51 AM ET
Please no Stoops**
TboneParkerVT • 10/31/25 09:32 AM ET
I completely concur
ForgeHokie • 10/31/25 09:36 AM ET
That's obvious, the first name is rarely THE name.**
BG Hokie • 10/31/25 09:18 AM ET
But why haven't there been any other names discussed anywhere?**
bburgnative • 10/31/25 11:50 AM ET
Anywhere? That's not exactly true. Other names have been confirmed in some
