If there is no news today, you have to start wondering

From a timing standpoint, if Franklin wants the job it is to everyone’s advantage that he be in place this week before the last home game. There is no reason why the fine points of a deal could not be worked out by now. So if Franklin is not announced today, it would very much look like Tech is his fall back option.

Will we have a new HC today or will the Franklin Chronicles continue?

Chesney should be option A

It's a perception thing

I would love it if our coach at VT left us for a better gig

I'm with you and flip back and forth between the 2 for different positives**

Franklin pluses are fool's gold. Look great until you scratch the surface.**

If we wait past this week, he's probably already lined up for another job.**

Penn State needs a coach. What if THEY hire Franklin?

Officially we should about noon-1

This is going to be brutal for the fan base if he isn't our next HC
Hokieguy1 • 11/17/25 07:42 AM ET
Not for all of the fan base.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 09:12 AM ET
Not sure you're correct. JF won't get 4/5 stars as he did for N. Lions.**
George Baylor • 11/17/25 08:39 AM ET
Even if he does, would VT have enough $$$$$$ to keep them?
