I hope he's not a hero at 8-9 wins.

We marketed the heck out of consecutive 10 win seasons even when we started playing 14 game schedules.

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.**
