I always thought they lucked up

With the Wienke injury. Beat Rooster Outzen for their natty. 99 Nole team was even better. But VT kills them with Outzen at QB. It takes a little luck for even the best teams to win it all.

Yes I love the CF hire. One man's trash is another man's treasure

Well said. These supposed anonymous sources don’t pass the smell test.**
V333T • 01/23/26 05:12 AM ET
Great find - some good stuff in here
NOFX • 01/22/26 04:35 PM ET
Actually, I read it again - 80% BS 20% true(ish) is my guess**

Kraft saved his own ass by firing CJF....at least for now!**
MDHokie79 • 01/22/26 03:17 PM ET
Reads like a post on Le Sewer**
earmuffs • 01/22/26 03:10 PM ET
Pat Kraft could not have written this article any better...

After a coach is fired/leaves this perspective from old team is expected
Hokie-NC • 01/22/26 02:12 PM ET
Meh. Just another article that is trying hard to downplay the JF tenure
HokieAl • 01/22/26 01:15 PM ET
Their description of Franklin sounds like Cignetti.
Zanderhokie • 01/22/26 12:59 PM ET
Indeed it does. He talks about all the negativity that existed when he got

Not sure I read too much into this...

Sounds to me like (1) the individual(s) interviewed have an axe to grind
goodbadugly • 01/22/26 11:52 AM ET
They could have an axe and also be right. Not mutually exclusive **

I think the VT opportunity is a great reset for Franklin
