Franklin didnt build Penn State up or make a national championship

He will never have a statue built of him. Recruits are bailing, he has lost the locker room, and the fanbase is willing to pay him $50 million to see him leave. His coaching tree set us back another 6 years. No thank you.

HokieJamie • 10/12/25 02:03 PM ET
Franklin would be a good one for Stanford
OrlandoHokie • 10/12/25 01:37 PM ET
Substitute "Virginia Tech" for "Stanford" and you have a winner**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 04:46 PM ET
Simply…..No. Even if his salary ask was $100.
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 10/12/25 01:03 PM ET
Not going to get if Babcock still there
RiverVT • 10/12/25 02:13 PM ET

ACCJesse • 10/12/25 01:32 PM ET

Atlee Hokie • 10/12/25 05:29 PM ET
Definitely Not
ForgeHokie • 10/12/25 12:58 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 12:38 PM ET
Tell me more**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 12:55 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 01:04 PM ET
We'd be lucky to get him...
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 01:30 PM ET
Depends on how.....
2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 01:48 PM ET
Well,
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 04:45 PM ET
We will agree to disagree.....
2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 04:56 PM ET
I guess I wasn't so far off base. You heard from me first.**
ACCJesse • 11/17/25 05:33 PM ET
Don't break your arm.....
2hhoop3 • 11/17/25 05:41 PM ET
I'm not excited about it now...
ACCJesse • 11/17/25 05:49 PM ET
So who woould be a better hire? I haven't heard of any.**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 05:01 PM ET
You really can't say who.....
2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 05:10 PM ET
True, neither of our opinions matter, and neither of us know ****...
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 05:26 PM ET
I have no problem engaging......
2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 05:34 PM ET
Most of college football must not know as much as you...
ACCJesse • 10/13/25 09:42 AM ET
Speaking of snarky.....
2hhoop3 • 10/13/25 09:55 AM ET
I don’t find Cignetti as realistic as the others, especially after their….
Jackie VT • 10/12/25 07:08 PM ET
I do not disagree....
2hhoop3 • 10/12/25 08:35 PM ET
Can't imagine fan base wanting to hire "Pry Senior".**
OlderHokie • 10/12/25 12:33 PM ET
Franklin = Pry
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/12/25 12:21 PM ET
LOL **
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 12:55 PM ET
Gold Dust James can't win the Big ones
Sunsetunderground • 10/12/25 10:59 AM ET
I will worry about winning the big ones, after we are in a lot of big ones.**
Atlee Hokie • 11/17/25 06:00 PM ET
How many big ones did Frank win?**
hokiedad25 • 10/12/25 03:14 PM ET
We don't play any big games at Virginia Tech right now.**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 11:09 AM ET
They are all big games now. We won’t be a favorite for the rest of the yr. **
97Hokie • 10/12/25 11:31 AM ET
Big = meaningful; we don't play any big games**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 11:33 AM ET
Every game from here is meaningful for a bowl game.**
97Hokie • 10/12/25 02:15 PM ET
Bowl games are no longer relevant..
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 04:48 PM ET
If I remember Beamer had a pretty bad record in big games too and he has a

Franklin didnt build Penn State up or make a national championship ◄
Sunsetunderground • 10/12/25 11:12 AM ET
He built Vanderbilt up - did a helluva job**
ACCJesse • 10/12/25 11:31 AM ET
He made PedU relevant again in college football. This year has been rough
97Hokie • 10/12/25 11:17 AM ET
We kept signing up to play future national champions when we were ranked...
EDGEMAN • 10/12/25 11:11 AM ET
We were good back then
crazylane • 10/12/25 11:57 AM ET
One of those is enough :)**
