How many of those games are against Harbaugh, Meyer, and Day?

Meyer has multiple titles and played for a number more, Harbaugh won one in college and took the 9ers to the Super Bowl, Day has one at Ohio State and probably ends up with one or two more. Kind of unfortunate to play in the league against those coaches for 12 years.

Well, Bruce Arians seems giddy about the James Franklin hire.**

Deserved. He, Bud, and Eddie pushed hard for this apparently. Well Done **

As well he should be!

By the way, here's an article from this summer on the subject**

If Franklin gets us to the point where we are losing only big games...
Maroon Baboon • 11/18/25 01:29 PM ET
lol....the "narrative" is actually hard data, and fully legit
JoesterVT • 11/18/25 01:07 PM ET
Hard to understand why

Who's complaining?**

well, Kirby Smart racked up his 19-10 vs. T10 tms coached by Saban, et al
JoesterVT • 11/18/25 01:52 PM ET
Believe Kirby’s record to Saban though is like 1-6
VTJay • 11/18/25 02:10 PM ET
OSU and UM were the higher ranked team for the majority of games
HokieAl • 11/18/25 01:51 PM ET
Beamer's formula - 10 wins, ACCCG, chance at natty

My only issue with Franklin is not the losing close games, but that he

FWIW Bob Stoops received the "Big Game Bob" nickname because he was

VT is 2-10 over the same time period. PSU has played twice as many
HokieAl • 11/18/25 01:28 PM ET
Data yes. Descriptive, yes. Predictive? Determinative?**
Beerman • 11/18/25 01:23 PM ET
But the data is very misleading.
3Manysons • 11/18/25 01:21 PM ET
That's a bizarre take, care to explain?
JoesterVT • 11/18/25 01:26 PM ET
And outside of those, who else is there
VTJay • 11/18/25 02:15 PM ET
An example is VT beat #10 UNC to start 2021 season
HokieAl • 11/18/25 01:43 PM ET
Every team is like that, and I do hate these types of stats
hoosnowahokie • 11/18/25 03:56 PM ET
Well sure, but again....we have a pretty good sample size
JoesterVT • 11/18/25 01:46 PM ET
I think challenging for the conference title every 4 to 5 years
One4VT • 11/18/25 01:19 PM ET
he hardly, if ever beat OSU and Michigan. so there is truth to it**
VaPoly07 • 11/18/25 12:55 PM ET
Franklin beat OSU exactly the same number of times that Beamer did**
