The FSU job was part of that information this morning.

Basically saying FSU is Franklin's #1 choice and that Norvell will be fired. Again, I understand that is speculation, but seems to be picking up some steam. That Norvell presser was very odd and seemed like he was basically begging FSU to let him keep his job. All it takes is one or two big donors to help with the buyout. I won't be surprised if Norvell is fired or is retained.

Are you hearing the same thing this morning regarding Franklin?
MKD • 11/12/25 11:01 AM ET
Is this going to be the first coach we fired before we hired?**
bigbadbird • 11/12/25 04:23 PM ET
Lol good response.**

I just heard he and his wife were in Bburg house shopping and the

I heard they said Buzz Williams House is the ugliest house they ever saw**
bigbadbird • 11/12/25 04:04 PM ET
TBH, when the Beamer house was posted, I thought it was ugly also.**
reestuart • 11/12/25 04:57 PM ET
Perhaps,living there you'd have a cool neighbor in Mike Burnop.**
section11hokie • 11/13/25 03:51 PM ET
That would be alright!**
reestuart • 11/13/25 04:07 PM ET
Hopefully they won't buy Pry's old house that he bought from Fuente..**
section11hokie • 11/12/25 04:08 PM ET
Pry is still living in it. I don't think it's for sale.**
hok1eboy • 11/12/25 06:59 PM ET
Maybe Pry will move into his house on Smith Mountain Lake. **
Blueboy • 11/13/25 12:05 AM ET
Maybe...but buying the previous HC house is bad juju... Pry's worst move.**
hok1eboy • 11/13/25 09:16 AM ET
In this case, I'd love to know what is meant by "getting played".**
reestuart • 11/12/25 12:18 PM ET
Not buying it lol . There is a committee of 8
RiverVT • 11/12/25 03:10 PM ET
Franklin refused to wear a kanga hat **
AnotherTechW • 11/12/25 01:55 PM ET
Then I think it's time to move on.**
reestuart • 11/12/25 01:57 PM ET
i think that's a good thing! Franklin is damaged goods with checkered past**
AnotherTechW • 11/12/25 02:04 PM ET
I'm more concerned with the hat thing.**
reestuart • 11/12/25 02:06 PM ET
lol**
AnotherTechW • 11/12/25 02:06 PM ET
LoL, it does make me wonder if anyone has ever looked for a job...**
TekkNerd • 11/12/25 12:30 PM ET
It still seems really early in the process to me. If VT keeps giving
reestuart • 11/12/25 12:36 PM ET
In this case, it's likely VT has provided everything he asked for
HokieAl • 11/12/25 12:44 PM ET
Me too. Not sure, but that was the phrase mentioned.**
MKD • 11/12/25 12:26 PM ET
Coming from those two names, it could be a little worrisome. I'd hate to
reestuart • 11/12/25 12:37 PM ET
Not so fast my friend...
JRHokie • 11/12/25 12:02 PM ET
Amazing all the stuff going on....
1947Sunbowl • 11/12/25 01:09 PM ET
You're right. It's like the game within the game within the game. Lol**

squarerootofone • 11/12/25 01:46 PM ET
Good one...**
MKD • 11/12/25 01:50 PM ET
He was looking at houses in the ‘Burg yesterday **
ombandit • 11/12/25 11:33 AM ET
That was also brought up this morning, but said was hearsay.
MKD • 11/12/25 12:22 PM ET
He was in the Burg**
Hokie83 • 11/12/25 12:48 PM ET
Finally accurate information! Thank you.**
VTSweaterMan • 11/13/25 07:52 AM ET
Liberty may need a new coach so that checks out! **
AnotherTechW • 11/12/25 02:06 PM ET
Yep**
ombandit • 11/12/25 01:17 PM ET
Oh snap, 83 scoop on the free board! LFG!**
BROman Hokie • 11/12/25 01:15 PM ET
Hokie83 knows stuff! I’m with him**
jrob165fd • 11/12/25 01:10 PM ET
Ok. I've just read nothing that confirms he was in Bburg.
MKD • 11/12/25 01:07 PM ET
Don’t doubt 83. One of two insiders left around here. **
justolerable • 11/12/25 04:16 PM ET
Who is the other?**
YardBird • 11/13/25 08:43 AM ET
Ok thanks for the heads up.**
MKD • 11/12/25 04:20 PM ET
You were just told by one of the most reliable sources you’ll find on
SCHokie1103 • 11/12/25 02:44 PM ET
I heard he was pitching the FSU D-coordinator position to Pry. TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 11/12/25 07:48 PM ET
Good to know. Thank you**
MKD • 11/12/25 03:09 PM ET
Everything is still on a normal schedule for the process
HokieAl • 11/12/25 11:32 AM ET
The FSU job was part of that information this morning. ◄
MKD • 11/12/25 12:21 PM ET
If FSU had that kind of $$$, they'd pay the ACC exit fees with it**
BROman Hokie • 11/12/25 01:16 PM ET
Buyout of $53-58M with no offset language. That'll leave a mark.**
reestuart • 11/12/25 01:05 PM ET
A big mark. However, these big donors love to show their power with buyouts**
MKD • 11/12/25 01:08 PM ET
I always wondered how much FSU truly has. I could see them being
reestuart • 11/12/25 01:10 PM ET
Tend to agree, but those big donors greatly impact decisions.**
MKD • 11/12/25 01:30 PM ET
For sure. I know they managed to come up with the Willie Taggart buyout
reestuart • 11/12/25 01:38 PM ET
Let the chips fall where they may. Chesney is a pretty decent Plan B.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/12/25 12:54 PM ET
I agree 100% on Chesney**
MKD • 11/12/25 01:33 PM ET
The Price is Right... Bob Chesney, COME ON DOWN!!! 🤸‍♂️**
Windows NT • 11/12/25 11:31 AM ET
I think Chesney would be very successful at VT as well.
MKD • 11/12/25 12:24 PM ET
He will be successful as long as the fanbase gives him time to build
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/12/25 12:57 PM ET
Then he will be fired year 2.5. We have proven zero
