...he is likely to deliver. The fan base was fed up with Frank Beamer's failures to win "big games", but now after a decade of watching VT being terrible, it seems everyone is waxing poetic about the good old days days. And those days were good...but when we were in the middle of them, many people (myself included at times) complained about VT always losing on a big stage. So tonight, it feels to me that VT just hired Frank Beamer lite at a much higher price tag. I'm not suggesting that Franklin can't or won't turn the program around, but if in 5 years VT is back to winning 9-10 games and stubbing its toe in "the big games", I fear some of the people celebrating Franklin's hire right now will be the same ones complaining that he can't beat elite teams and saying he's not the answer (just like PSU fans did). I don't even watch college football anymore, so I honestly don't really care about VT being successful...I just don't want to see student costs continue to skyrocket because of VT's pursuit of competing with the B1G and SEC, or to see the university bankrupt itself in the process.
