I didn't say or.....

mean to imply that the actual performance justified the characterization. However, at least IMO, that is the vibe Franklin and his teams try to exhibit, both at PSU and Vandy before that.

Was expecting an uninformed piece. Actually VERY spot on.**

Just saw on Facebook that Franklin was bringing 31 transfers from PSU....

🤣 all starters + 2nd stringers**

So Franklin gets run out by PSU, but they say he’s perfect for VT? Got it.**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 08:35 AM ET
I'm still surprised he was fired based on his success at PSU,
HortHokie • 10/31/25 10:08 AM ET
Maybe they tired of JF's 3rd place ceiling being lower than expectations.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:01 PM ET
I don't get that narrative.
CyberHokie • 10/31/25 09:30 AM ET
The record of the teams he beat at Vandy was 86-180.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:20 PM ET
and VT will pay him 10 mil yr + 100 mil buyout**

VT has been bad since 1999 apparently.
Truthahn • 10/31/25 08:31 AM ET
To be fair, I don't know anything about PSU

From the article:

Swagger I can buy,......
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 08:29 AM ET
I’ve never thought of PSU under Franklin as having “swagger”.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 08:50 AM ET
I didn't say or..... ◄
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 09:50 AM ET
But you did say you can buy swagger.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:11 PM ET
You're entitled to your opinion......
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:18 PM ET
PSU trying to projected swagger would make for a great SECShorts scene.
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:27 PM ET
What rationale is needed....
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:34 PM ET
An opinion about a feeling for what they were trying to do?
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 01:40 PM ET
No I would not.....
2hhoop3 • 10/31/25 01:43 PM ET
Different scale, but both are still delusion as a program culture.**
marcbvtgm • 10/31/25 02:13 PM ET
He's a good fit for us and we're a good fit for him, I hope it happens**
BROman Hokie • 10/31/25 08:15 AM ET
IMO, VT isn't a particularly good fit for him & he's a lousy fit for VT.
