That’s me. Good hire but he doesn’t want to be at VT. I hope the search…

Committee has been looking at multiple options as he is low probability of hire and high probability of the hire being short if he is hired. See also Buzz, just a sugar high.

So am I in the minority that want Franklin here? **
VTshorty78 • 11/02/25 04:46 PM ET
You're in the majority. And the majority track record here is lousy.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 12:37 PM ET
Why would u be in the minority? We hate winning here?**
GoldCoast • 11/02/25 06:56 PM ET
I want to win and I definitely don't want Franklin.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 12:34 PM ET
I don’t have any favorites since I’m clueless. I do have some definite no’s
Hokebury • 11/02/25 06:37 PM ET
I just want someone good. Proven. With potential to realize ours. **
adcenterhokie • 11/02/25 06:32 PM ET
Cynically, I initially thought, "WTH could our potential be now?" with the
Coach McGuirk • 11/02/25 08:09 PM ET
I agree
crazylane • 11/02/25 09:30 PM ET
95 and 96 we great years
crazylane • 11/02/25 09:26 PM ET
Probably not … but, I want Chesney…
VPI63 • 11/02/25 05:37 PM ET
Good points. **
GoldCoast • 11/02/25 07:00 PM ET
Chesney is my lean as well but I certainly wouldn’t be upset with Franklin**
HwoodHokie • 11/02/25 06:02 PM ET
I think he's easily the best in-game coach that VT has been tied to**
Cvillehoops13 • 11/02/25 05:38 PM ET
I think it would be a great hire, and I despise him as a person...
Cvillehoops13 • 11/02/25 05:31 PM ET
Out of curiosity, why as a person?
CPVT3 • 11/02/25 08:39 PM ET
If you are, I want to say the others
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 11/02/25 05:21 PM ET
I hope he's not a hero at 8-9 wins.
chagerma • 11/03/25 10:14 AM ET
That’s me. Good hire but he doesn’t want to be at VT. I hope the search… ◄
Hokiefied • 11/02/25 05:55 PM ET
I think Buzz reinvigorated our BB culture. Without him, no packed games IMO**
CPVT3 • 11/02/25 08:40 PM ET
Buzz had his positives but football is a different animal
Hokiefied • 11/02/25 08:49 PM ET
3 ncaas and sweet 16 is more than a sugar high **
GoldCoast • 11/02/25 06:58 PM ET
Did I say sugar highs arent fun while they last?
Hokiefied • 11/02/25 07:22 PM ET
Hell, Monty is an upgrade. **
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 05:35 PM ET
No, Franklin would be a slam dunk. Not saying he is the only one I would be
Hokie_Forester • 11/02/25 05:20 PM ET
No. Would be a massive win. **
untuchVT • 11/02/25 05:16 PM ET
I would take him**
HokieRat • 11/02/25 05:04 PM ET
I think he would be the best coach we've had since Beamer for sure.
apbaker73 • 11/02/25 05:04 PM ET
VT would be hard pressed to hire a coach who works out worse than last two.**
MP4VT2004 • 11/02/25 09:22 PM ET
Wanna bet?**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 12:39 PM ET
I want him**
RiverVT • 11/02/25 05:02 PM ET
The people who think VT is too good for Franklin are delusional. **
Pride_and_Joy • 11/02/25 04:52 PM ET
I don't think VT is too good. I just don't think Franklin is very good.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 12:38 PM ET
He’s Frank Beamer. 🤷🏻‍♂️**
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 12:45 PM ET
In record......
2hhoop3 • 11/04/25 01:09 PM ET
Is our goal to hire the nicest person we can?
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 02:52 PM ET
The fact you would ....

Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 04:01 PM ET
Nothing ad hominem about it......
2hhoop3 • 11/04/25 04:04 PM ET
Lol. But not an as hominem. 😂😂😂
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 04:16 PM ET
I did debate the issue.....
2hhoop3 • 11/04/25 04:24 PM ET
I guess it was a bridge too far
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 04:40 PM ET
The Other Way Around...He is Too Good for VT (in his mind)**
vtchem75 • 11/02/25 05:13 PM ET
How do you know what’s in his mind?**
Pride_and_Joy • 11/02/25 05:22 PM ET
Has to be a joke. **
GoldCoast • 11/02/25 06:59 PM ET
Not seen those posts. But like I said below I don't get the enthusiasm.
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 05:07 PM ET
First, name a few coaches w/a proven track record of winning the big games.
Hoakie82 • 11/02/25 05:55 PM ET
Backwards logic. Don't hire a coach with a proven record of losing those
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 06:14 PM ET
Sounds like you’re ok w/an unproven head coach as long as he hasn’t lost
Hoakie82 • 11/03/25 04:14 PM ET
It’s literally the same track record as Pope Frank Beamer**
Pride_and_Joy • 11/02/25 05:21 PM ET
So why do think PSU doesn't think of JF as Pope Franklin?
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 12:45 PM ET
Beamer had a nice run
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 12:47 PM ET
Exactly, which reinforces my position. I'm an outlier on CFB's greatness.**
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 05:31 PM ET
Who are the great ones then? Ones who did about the same with
VTCALS72 • 11/02/25 08:03 PM ET
Try and make it simple. Not after a big name, great one. New, up and coming
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 08:32 PM ET
Justin Fuente was an up and comer.
Pride_and_Joy • 11/04/25 03:00 PM ET
And he’s in the HoF and BY FAR the greatest
Pride_and_Joy • 11/02/25 05:41 PM ET
So, he's the best VT ever had and rarely won the big games. If that's ok
40ozDistrict • 11/02/25 05:49 PM ET
You sound like an Auburn or Tennessee fan.
Pride_and_Joy • 11/03/25 10:59 AM ET

VTCALS72 • 11/02/25 08:21 PM ET
I think most would want him, those that object are just more vocal.**
