away at some point it will mean that VT football has done very well leading up to then. VT is a great place but it will most likely never be a "destination" job like Bama, OSU, UF, UTx, etc. VT does offer many advantages over those places to a head football coach, so hopefully Franklin sees and understands that and stays a while. ** Edited by NC_Hokies at 11/18/2025, 6:15:57 PM

I'm not going to worry about winning too much just yet.** -- hok1eboy Nov 18, 2025 at 08:14 PM ET

You act like you've seen to many bad teams coached by bad coaches. ** -- PhotoHokieNC Nov 18, 2025 at 07:34 PM ET

Look at it this way. Check out Ole Miss and Kiffin right now. -- Maroon Baboon Nov 18, 2025 at 06:40 PM ET

Kiffin needs to stay in my opinion ** -- VaTechHokiesACC Nov 19, 2025 at 02:02 AM ET

I think everyone is rooting for him to stay. Except desperate and shameless -- Maroon Baboon Nov 19, 2025 at 01:33 PM ET

Yeah but once he leaves, those players will leave as well -- Hoo23 Nov 18, 2025 at 08:20 PM ET

True. And a new coach will bring in new players. It's a revolving door. -- Maroon Baboon Nov 18, 2025 at 10:11 PM ET

Maroon Baboon • 11/18/25 10:11 PM ET

I'd be surprised if he took either of those jobs.** -- reestuart Nov 18, 2025 at 07:07 PM ET

Maybe VT is a destination job we just don't know it ** -- knapnhokie Nov 18, 2025 at 06:36 PM ET

I hope it becomes one. Time to level up VT** -- NC_Hokies Nov 18, 2025 at 06:56 PM ET

That’s been the risk that I’ve called out repeatedly -- Hokiefied Nov 18, 2025 at 05:07 PM ET

Oh no. ** -- Pride_and_Joy Nov 18, 2025 at 10:39 PM ET

I didn’t say it wasn’t worth it. I just said it’s a risk.** -- Hokiefied Nov 18, 2025 at 10:53 PM ET

Losing JF because he beats VT peer teams is the least of VT's worries w/ JF** -- marcbvtgm Nov 18, 2025 at 06:38 PM ET
