This has got to be stacked against the school

We want Franklin, but Sexton wants money. He would be just as happy with a better offer for Franklin and the highest offer possible from VT for a coach from the the next down tier of coaches. How do you really fight that? If we say x date or we are moving on, who do we move on to? The same agent, sitting in the same seat. Is that really moving on? Is Sexton saying to VT, "your new money puts you to where you will eat next, after the P2/bluebloods are filled. Be patient, I will get you a good one for who you are." If so he is already controlling where we go and who we can seriously negotiate with. Our only option against the Sexton scenario is to go to a coach not represented by Sexton. But do we really feel any of those are what we need?

Whether or not he comes at this point is of minimal importance to me.

At this point, Diaz or Chesney would work just as well for me.**

That’s the Sexton leverage play on VT. Nothing new.**
Hokiefied 11/08/25 09:15 AM ET
There is no more leverage by investigating Arkansas…

A week or so ago there was. Agree the shammie is dry now. It’s old news.

I get the feeling that maybe…

The bidding war, whether real or imaginary, is not worth it.**

Ditto. If he takes it so be it. His funeral. Doubt he will as a result.**

I’m not either because he’s not my first choice**

JF is a good candidate. But I’m not in the Franklin-Or-Bust camp.

Guess we should just dissolve the football program. It's all

This is a college football message board.
NoHuddle 11/08/25 02:51 PM ET
Same. I’d prefer Mullen or Chesney.**
