I think they're both possible. Two different needs

PSU needed (or so they think) a coach who can scheme to defeat OSU. They have recruits and energy to win. But they can't win the big games. If Chesney can maintain the recruiting and energy, or close, and scheme better, that's what they think they need. VT needs something different. We need recruiting and energy. Then maybe we'll need the perfect scheme to beat OSU too. Franklin gives us what we need. It's two different needs that require two different solutions. It could be that we're both equally happy with how things went down.

I don't think we look at it that way.

Yes JMU football & VCU basketball - new coach every 2-3 years no problem.

18,000 co-eds? It makes a bigger difference in recruiting than you think.**

VT is going to benefit the most but PSU is always going to get recruits

Why can’t Pitt also be a beneficiary of PSU’s impulsive move?
Marooned 11/28/25 11:26 PM ET
Pitt absolutely can. But we don't need them having Tony Dorsett or Dan

Is it PSU or the organization structure of Franklin that recruits
