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.

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

Why can’t Pitt also be a beneficiary of PSU’s impulsive move?
