Another job opening - NYG - bet Franklin is looking..........**
The_VT_Rock • 11/10/25 12:46 PM ET
Another job opening with no one but VT apparently interested in Franklin**
marcbvtgm • 11/10/25 04:44 PM ET
We know who you don’t want. Who is your pick? **
justolerable • 11/10/25 10:38 PM ET
Honestly I hope it's somebody not even on anybody's radar. Buzz-like.
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 09:14 AM ET
Buzz wasn't under the radar.
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 12:26 AM ET
I thought you needed to be really smart to get one of those jobs.**
jdkhokie • 11/10/25 02:46 PM ET
NYG may luck themselves into a top HC b/c of Dart, but that FO is a mess.
VTDante • 11/10/25 02:23 PM ET
i'd be more worried about Bill -> NYG and Franklin -> UNC than that.**
vivitron73 • 11/10/25 02:11 PM ET
Bill is cooked, for good. I'm laughing if anyone ever takes that risk even
BG Hokie • 11/10/25 02:44 PM ET
I think almost everyone realizes by now ... Brady made Belicheck
VTCS2001 • 11/11/25 12:14 PM ET
I don't disagree, but he's more likely than Franklin**
vivitron73 • 11/10/25 03:29 PM ET
Agreed, Belichick is much more likely to work out in NYC than Chapel Hill.**
MP4VT2004 • 11/10/25 09:19 PM ET
He may look but they won’t be interested. Big Game James couldn’t hack…
Hokiefied • 11/10/25 01:51 PM ET
No idea, but the success rate for College HC's making this move is not good
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 11/10/25 01:03 PM ET
Pete Carroll, JIm Harbaught, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer all had
Pride_and_Joy • 11/10/25 04:13 PM ET
Ok, now discuss the ones who didn't **
HokiesACC2004 • 11/12/25 03:22 AM ET
Sure. As soon as you acknowkedge that most coaches fail,
Pride_and_Joy • 11/12/25 07:22 AM ET
Switzer was a pawn in the JJ wars
Planner_Hokie • 11/11/25 07:03 PM ET
Should have been clearer with this
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 11/11/25 08:36 AM ET
Bowels was fired as a head coach once before, wasn't he?
Pride_and_Joy • 11/11/25 09:36 AM ET
Holtz, Spurrier, Petrino, Erickson, Saban, Meyer, Kelly, Rhule, etc didn't
marcbvtgm • 11/10/25 04:59 PM ET
Jimmy Johnson
crazylane • 11/10/25 03:28 PM ET
The success rate for any high level HC (pro or semi-) is not good. Period.**
Beerman • 11/10/25 02:40 PM ET
Yes, there is a base rate issue to consider here, for sure. **
Pride_and_Joy • 11/10/25 04:13 PM ET
The only coach who was/is truly elite at both levels is Jim Harbaugh**
NOFX • 11/10/25 02:27 PM ET
Ummm, Pete Carroll was pretty darn good at both levels.**
marcbvtgm • 11/10/25 05:01 PM ET
no jimmy johnson?**
Windows NT • 11/10/25 03:00 PM ET
Ehhh he's close - only did it for a few years in the NFL with a loaded team
NOFX • 11/10/25 03:05 PM ET
Ehhh, incorrect.**
marcbvtgm • 11/10/25 05:00 PM ET
he rebuilt the cowboys from scratch. 1-15 first yr
Windows NT • 11/10/25 03:39 PM ET
He built those loaded teams
crazylane • 11/10/25 03:31 PM ET
I'll add Urban Meyer to your list, he was absolutely awful in the NFL.**
TekkNerd • 11/10/25 01:20 PM ET
didn't Pete win a SB with seattle?
Windows NT • 11/10/25 01:13 PM ET
Apologies - not trying to start an argument... but I did only include
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 11/10/25 02:07 PM ET
crazy what stats people leave out to make a point! **
