MKD

I think for sure he wants other opportunities, but it appears they

don't want him. At least that's what's being reported. Who knows, but soon dominoes will start falling with all these openings and once it starts, teams must be prepared to move quickly with their #2nd, 3rd, 4th options.

Franklin is in a category by himself...which is worth the wait imo...
Techsupport • 11/17/25 12:09 PM ET
I can't think of a single thing he brings except perceived quasi-celebrity.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:18 PM ET
That doesn't surprise me**
Techsupport • 11/17/25 03:13 PM ET
Sounds like you are really in the know **
hokiehowl • 11/17/25 11:59 AM ET
Not sure anyone is really in the know at this point. Lol**
MKD • 11/17/25 12:18 PM ET
No one knows anything.
Beerman • 11/17/25 11:34 AM ET
Franklin wouldn't have spent 2 weeks negotiating with PSU with VTs terms
AirborneHokie96 • 11/17/25 12:15 PM ET
Assuming this is true, was it specific VT terms or general release terms?
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:24 PM ET
VT**
AirborneHokie96 • 11/17/25 02:38 PM ET
Eh......... **
AirborneHokie96 • 11/17/25 11:20 AM ET
I trust what you said sir, that it's a done deal with announcement soon.**
MKD • 11/17/25 12:21 PM ET
Sounds like an announcement is coming tonight**
AirborneHokie96 • 11/17/25 04:32 PM ET
A Toyota Tundra wasn't my first choice either
CoolJCPA • 11/17/25 10:32 AM ET
Actually in 2015. Mercedes announced it was getting in the pick-up business
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 01:04 PM ET
You are correct. I saw them when I was in Italy a couple of years ago.**
CoolJCPA • 11/17/25 02:58 PM ET
I guess if someone really wanted to own one, they could have it shipped in
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 04:34 PM ET
Isn't a Tundra "the Lexus of pickup trucks?"**
EDGEMAN • 11/17/25 10:49 AM ET
aspects of this could be true but a lot just cant be correct
Vippie1 • 11/17/25 10:04 AM ET
Huh? We could be his 3rd choice, but #1 & #2 (and others) can not want him
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 10:25 AM ET
I think for sure he wants other opportunities, but it appears they ◄
MKD • 11/17/25 12:43 PM ET
I think Franklin is playing us...
ACCJesse • 11/17/25 10:02 AM ET
What's funny about your statement is that Shane doesn't want to be at VT.
Lumbee09 • 11/17/25 11:13 AM ET
NO**
likehokies • 11/17/25 11:09 AM ET
Not all of us. I pray Franklin takes another job this morning.**
gobbler1955 • 11/17/25 11:06 AM ET
Shane Steichen is a great hire. will he come for 11 mil?**
Windows NT • 11/17/25 10:58 AM ET
Shane would be a disaster**
run_VT • 11/17/25 10:08 AM ET
Agree, but so would Franklin**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 10:25 AM ET
There are some people that just cannot be
hokiehowl • 11/17/25 12:01 PM ET
Folks said similar when I said Pry hiring Marve was a fatal strategic error**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:26 PM ET
There’s Risk in every hire. Franklin’s is he’d be very short-term & he’ll…
Hokiefied • 11/17/25 11:07 AM ET
He'd be short term but more likely because of failure not success.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:27 PM ET
How so? He has done well at South Carolina.**
ACCJesse • 11/17/25 10:19 AM ET
He's 16-23 in the SEC. **
Techsupport • 11/17/25 11:45 AM ET
At South Carolina, not UF or Auburn or Tennessee. Nevertheless, hard pass.
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:28 PM ET
But you saw my name, so you had to think of a way to disagree...lol. **
Techsupport • 11/17/25 03:14 PM ET
You may want to look at this year's results...**
hoosnowahokie • 11/17/25 10:40 AM ET
Remove Beamer from the name and no one would even be considering him**
run_VT • 11/17/25 10:34 AM ET
True. But if this search was happening just 9 months ago, he would be.
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 02:28 PM ET
James Franklin/Shane Beamer, career mirror images of one another...LOL!!!!**
Techsupport • 11/17/25 03:16 PM ET
That's a fair point but he's had several very good seasons playing in SEC**
gobbler1955 • 11/17/25 11:08 AM ET
Exactly**
Atlee Hokie • 11/17/25 10:50 AM ET
No, he definitely has not. Can we PLEASE get away from the Beamer wagon?**
VTshorty78 • 11/17/25 10:30 AM ET
Some fans won't be satisfied until Casey has an opportunity to wear the
VTHokie2000 • 11/17/25 01:18 PM ET
No, he hasn’t.**
Hokiefied • 11/17/25 10:27 AM ET
He’s wrong as usual **
MrFantastic! • 11/17/25 10:01 AM ET
Take it with a grain of salt from something named “Big Dawg” on YouTube.**
GSOHokie01 • 11/17/25 10:00 AM ET
Listen to Thamel (and CC or the 247 mods), ignore everybody else**
BROman Hokie • 11/17/25 09:51 AM ET
Rik Watson is a tool of the good ole boy network
1947Sunbowl • 11/17/25 09:47 AM ET
What does ANY of this even mean when Franklin is announced as the VT HC?**
VTizzle • 11/17/25 09:42 AM ET
Quire a bit, I suppose, when Franklin is on TV next season.**
marcbvtgm • 11/17/25 10:27 AM ET
Who knows...**
MKD • 11/17/25 09:44 AM ET
We'll never know until he's announced or we move on.
