If you had to wager, who do you believe VT actually lands as Head Coach?
HokiePokie95 • 11/14/25 03:21 PM ET
100% JF - Justin Fuente that is, in the greatest come back ever !!! **
uber hokie • 11/14/25 07:08 PM ET
I honestly think he’d do pretty good with the financial support promised.
VTinAK • 11/14/25 07:28 PM ET
Don’ t disagree ( duck ) **
uber hokie • 11/15/25 07:49 AM ET
I’ve liked Chesney all the long. I would love to see him be the next coach.
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 05:28 PM ET
All the long? Is that like the French benefits I get from my employer**
BG Hokie • 11/14/25 05:56 PM ET
49% Franklin 47% Chesney
Sunsetunderground • 11/14/25 05:21 PM ET
Ah, that would be a smart play. Like.**
Coach McGuirk • 11/14/25 05:52 PM ET
Franklin**
bburgnative • 11/14/25 05:16 PM ET
Franklin vs. the Field, I'd bet the field. Franklin vs. Chesney, I'd bet
BG Hokie • 11/14/25 05:07 PM ET
Chesney. I think VT gets tired of dickering with Franklin. **
40ozDistrict • 11/14/25 04:45 PM ET
VT talked to 2-3 candidates on Monday/Tuesday of last week
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:28 PM ET
So PSU agreed to JF buyout terms, now he’s waiting to see if FSU opens?**
st_andrew • 11/14/25 06:14 PM ET
Yea, JF buyout negotiations around less money vs being able to steal player
VaPoly07 • 11/14/25 05:24 PM ET
Some donors at PSU have a real hard on for JF
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 05:36 PM ET
Names for those 3?**
hokie77 • 11/14/25 04:59 PM ET
JMU coach was #4... **
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 05:16 PM ET
Mullen in the mix?**
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 06:39 PM ET
Are you hedging?**
Techsupport • 11/14/25 04:30 PM ET
I still think it's Franklin
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:36 PM ET
Sexton isn't a great negotiator if it looks easy. Have to makes things hard
RhinoVT • 11/14/25 04:42 PM ET
I'm rollin' w/ Airborne, he's put his name on the line here. JF.**
Techsupport • 11/14/25 04:22 PM ET
I have had other things on the line larger than this.....
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:39 PM ET
Had inside info agreeing w u. (Former player / donor)
VaPoly07 • 11/14/25 05:25 PM ET
Just as much of a chance of getting somebody on nobody's radar
VTCALS72 • 11/14/25 04:10 PM ET
This is kinda what I'm hoping for & I wouldn't be at all shocked if it is**
marcbvtgm • 11/14/25 04:26 PM ET
I think JF but I agree, if it's someone else I'll be fine, just want NIL $$**
NOFX • 11/14/25 04:00 PM ET

1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 04:07 PM ET
Are you okay? I'm worrying about you....seriously. Maybe see a Dr.?**
HokiePokie95 • 11/15/25 12:16 AM ET
Ok, something was "reported" but I can't tell what is was from this **
marcbvtgm • 11/14/25 04:30 PM ET
Franklin
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 03:58 PM ET
I think he attended the game for him, not because of VT.
MKD • 11/14/25 04:12 PM ET
So why do you think he was there for himself? Just curious.**
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 05:36 PM ET
3 reasons
MKD • 11/14/25 09:28 PM ET
I get his connections there. But unless he is talking to those former
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 09:35 PM ET
Franklin is always about business and an agenda. That's his personality**
MKD • 11/14/25 09:40 PM ET
Both head coaches were former assistants of his**
LonghornHokie • 11/14/25 06:05 PM ET
Yes I know that with no offense intended so you think he was there talking
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 06:11 PM ET
The story sounds good but that is like 5 hours away from Blacksburg. It
JACHokies • 11/14/25 04:18 PM ET
It wasn’t a social call
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 04:18 PM ET
Still betting on JF...Chesney would save on costs but would probably
VT757to276 • 11/14/25 03:36 PM ET
I will support Chesney and contribution
RiverVT • 11/14/25 04:06 PM ET
Yes very true !
RiverVT • 11/14/25 03:57 PM ET
All the big givers are holding back
1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 04:15 PM ET
So now the big money thing is dependent on the new hire? Same with GM, CEO?
40ozDistrict • 11/14/25 04:47 PM ET
They want a name coach
1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 07:24 PM ET
Given that a knock against Franklin is that he has trouble winning enough
VTHokie2000 • 11/14/25 07:43 PM ET
Franklin.**
