Why? The staff hires should have motivated you to purchase your ACC

Championship Game tickets now because the ACC does not have members named "Ohio State" and "Michigan" on the schedule next year. Heck you should go ahead and purchase your FBS Playoff tickets for every round now before they go like hot cakes because VT will be 13-0 (sorry UMD you are no Ohio State or Michigan) and the #1 seed just like Indiana is this season. If you feel so inclined you can even make a small $50K...no $100K donation to VT to keep this magical run going. After all, didn't you hear the Marching Virginians and Highty Tighties play "When the Saints Go Marching In" in the background as Franklin announced the new hires? I have even been told the announcement brought a tear to TD Jesus' eyes, but don't tell any Notre Dame fans that. ** Edited by VTHokie2000 at 12/9/2025, 6:22:07 PM

FWIW, I feel a little better about Howle after reading PSU board reaction.

I'd say never and cried only day I tried pee wee football.**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/09/25 09:06 PM ET
I read before Franklin was hired that Hagans was interviewing

This pour horse is being beaten even after it dies 🐎…hang on guys 🦥

The impact of an OC is always overstated.
Glenvar Hokie • 12/09/25 06:43 PM ET
Or a creative and cerebral OC can make a decent QB + OK Oline + OK skill

Next time you jump forward in your Time Machine
Vtdfnz • 12/09/25 06:25 PM ET
You know who started as a TEs coach? Ben Johnson. He’s an ok OC.**
XFactor11 • 12/09/25 06:24 PM ET
Ben Johnson was a washed brainiac QB who left for NFL job after 3yrs haha

Franklin is amazing! > Franklin is an idiot! Short honeymoon. **
hokieincville2 • 12/09/25 06:18 PM ET
Maybe he’s amazing at being an idiot 🤔**
Jeffroww • 12/09/25 06:33 PM ET
And this is my whole concern with the over-the-top reaction to JF's hire.
MP4VT2004 • 12/09/25 06:31 PM ET
Well said**
VTHokie2000 • 12/10/25 12:37 AM ET
Good thing every person is different. Have you seen the TEs he has coached?**
XFactor11 • 12/09/25 05:55 PM ET
My excitement has turned into… Oh no, another complainer.**
V333T • 12/09/25 05:40 PM ET
Considering I played for Stiney and saw first hand...
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 05:46 PM ET
Didn't Tech average 10 wins a season while Stiney was OC?
MaryWashGrad • 12/09/25 07:25 PM ET
C'mon. You know exactly why Tech won 10 games all of those years.
BoozVT • 12/09/25 08:36 PM ET
Complaint about the complaint waived off, no(t) foul.**
V333T • 12/09/25 06:03 PM ET
Did you know this at the time or did you understand your experiences
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/09/25 05:51 PM ET
Oh definitely knew at the time
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 06:25 PM ET
Thanks for confirming. That's what it looked like from the stands and
Tombo • 12/09/25 07:13 PM ET
Staff hires have definitely cooled my jets big time. No doubt.**
Techsupport • 12/09/25 05:34 PM ET
Why? The staff hires should have motivated you to purchase your ACC ◄
VTHokie2000 • 12/09/25 06:16 PM ET
I actually didn't mind Pry... But my heart can't take anymore bad offense
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 05:39 PM ET
I won't try and talk you off the ledge, but...
Rationalist • 12/10/25 12:51 PM ET
He was also CO-OC who called plays in a few games. Yes he was TE coach 1st.**
