He's 4-21 against Top-10 teams and 1-13 against OSU and Michigan.**

Good thing there aren’t many top 10 teams in the acc most years
GreenvilleVT • 11/17/25 01:49 PM ET
How was Beamer's record against top 10? **
McBain • 11/17/25 01:27 PM ET
Not good...but solid against 11-25**
Tuckahokie • 11/17/25 01:42 PM ET
From a Reddit post I found FB was 38-26-1 against 11-25
hoosnowahokie • 11/17/25 01:47 PM ET
Particularly when Frank almost never had a top 20 recruiting class**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:03 PM ET
That’s because Coach Beamer developed kids into really good players.
SCHokie1103 • 11/17/25 02:27 PM ET
He was also a very good football coach who knew how to win 50/50 games
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:48 PM ET
Another Franklin hater. Beamer would never be able to compete and coach in
SCHokie1103 • 11/17/25 03:02 PM ET
Another Franklin sycophant. Coaching is more important than ever.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 04:19 PM ET
Non-sequitur. Beamer was much better vs his peers than Franklin.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:32 PM ET
Let’s focus on consistently beating ODU**
5_star_commenter • 11/17/25 01:26 PM ET
The 2002 thinking here is amazing. With the right coach, VT can win in '26**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:06 PM ET
Don't look at Frank's records then**
hoosnowahokie • 11/17/25 01:25 PM ET
He is 1-1 against Temple
OrlandoHokie • 11/17/25 01:24 PM ET
Sounds like a VT HC to me.**
ChrisLords • 11/17/25 01:10 PM ET
Except that VT coach took a program nobody heard of and made it near elite
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:36 PM ET
And then pissed it all away his last 3 years of coaching**
hokiedad25 • 11/17/25 02:12 PM ET
PSU was still on probation Franklin's first 2 years
BROman Hokie • 11/17/25 01:47 PM ET
Bill O'Brien won Coach of the year in Y2. JF actually took a step backward**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:11 PM ET
7-5 to 7-6 is a huge step back**
BROman Hokie • 11/17/25 02:43 PM ET
O'Brien shoveled the crap & still had better W-L than JF in their 1st 2 yrs**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 04:22 PM ET
Ok, how’s it been for BOB since? Looks like he’ll be available soon**
BROman Hokie • 11/17/25 04:43 PM ET
You make a decent case for Ohio State and Michigan not hiring Franklin
Vippie1 • 11/17/25 01:07 PM ET
And pretty much every P4 school with sense.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:37 PM ET
Small sample size but he is 9-1 versus ACC teams.
VTBoar • 11/17/25 12:58 PM ET
Not just small, but irrelevant.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:38 PM ET
"What have I done for you to treat me so...
VTBoar • 11/17/25 02:48 PM ET
How's his record vs 10-25? How about vs ODU?**
reestuart • 11/17/25 12:50 PM ET
Pretty pedestrian actually considering he coached at Penn State for 12 yrs.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:44 PM ET
That's funny and prescient!**
HoustonHokie • 11/17/25 01:12 PM ET
Right now, VT doesn't need to worry about games vs top 5-10. There won't
reestuart • 11/17/25 01:18 PM ET
Little reason to think JF would do better vs 10-25 @ VT than top 10 @ PSU**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:13 PM ET
No argument there, but does VT need to pay $11 million/year to...
MP4VT2004 • 11/17/25 01:36 PM ET
Yes, IMO. Someone was going to get more than the going rate because the
Tombo • 11/17/25 06:00 PM ET
No, but it's not going to happen overnight. **
reestuart • 11/17/25 01:38 PM ET
But it can happen overnight. In fact, if it doesn't, it likely won't.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 04:18 PM ET
Yep**
HoustonHokie • 11/17/25 01:27 PM ET
We won’t have to play those teams until the playoffs ✌️**
jagerhokie • 11/17/25 12:47 PM ET
Are you sure about that? Michigan would probably boycott the game until
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 12:56 PM ET
If he becomes our coach...I hope we don't end up in the BIG10**
Tuckahokie • 11/17/25 12:11 PM ET
Great news, we won't anyway ◄
GoHokies84 • 11/17/25 12:37 PM ET
Even if VT were to end up in the Big Ten, Franklin may not stick around
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 12:45 PM ET
If he does get hired at VT, you can forget VT ever getting a P2 invite.
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 01:46 PM ET
I have always thought VT's odds of securing a spot at the P2 table was
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 02:14 PM ET
Why?.......
