Sexton isn't a great negotiator if it looks easy. Have to makes things hard

then pull it back from the "brink" so he can look like he earned his money.

If you had to wager, who do you believe VT actually lands as Head Coach?
HokiePokie95 • 11/14/25 03:21 PM ET
100% JF - Justin Fuente that is, in the greatest come back ever !!! **
uber hokie • 11/14/25 07:08 PM ET
I honestly think he’d do pretty good with the financial support promised.
VTinAK • 11/14/25 07:28 PM ET
Don’ t disagree ( duck ) **
uber hokie • 11/15/25 07:49 AM ET
I’ve liked Chesney all the long. I would love to see him be the next coach.
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 05:28 PM ET
All the long? Is that like the French benefits I get from my employer**
BG Hokie • 11/14/25 05:56 PM ET
49% Franklin 47% Chesney
Sunsetunderground • 11/14/25 05:21 PM ET
Ah, that would be a smart play. Like.**
Coach McGuirk • 11/14/25 05:52 PM ET
Franklin**
bburgnative • 11/14/25 05:16 PM ET
Franklin vs. the Field, I'd bet the field. Franklin vs. Chesney, I'd bet
BG Hokie • 11/14/25 05:07 PM ET
Chesney. I think VT gets tired of dickering with Franklin. **
40ozDistrict • 11/14/25 04:45 PM ET
VT talked to 2-3 candidates on Monday/Tuesday of last week
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:28 PM ET
So PSU agreed to JF buyout terms, now he’s waiting to see if FSU opens?**
st_andrew • 11/14/25 06:14 PM ET
Yea, JF buyout negotiations around less money vs being able to steal player
VaPoly07 • 11/14/25 05:24 PM ET
Some donors at PSU have a real hard on for JF
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 05:36 PM ET
Names for those 3?**
hokie77 • 11/14/25 04:59 PM ET
JMU coach was #4... **
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 05:16 PM ET
Mullen in the mix?**
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 06:39 PM ET
Are you hedging?**
Techsupport • 11/14/25 04:30 PM ET
I still think it's Franklin
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:36 PM ET

RhinoVT • 11/14/25 04:42 PM ET
I'm rollin' w/ Airborne, he's put his name on the line here. JF.**
Techsupport • 11/14/25 04:22 PM ET
I have had other things on the line larger than this.....
AirborneHokie96 • 11/14/25 04:39 PM ET
Had inside info agreeing w u. (Former player / donor)
VaPoly07 • 11/14/25 05:25 PM ET
Just as much of a chance of getting somebody on nobody's radar
VTCALS72 • 11/14/25 04:10 PM ET
This is kinda what I'm hoping for & I wouldn't be at all shocked if it is**
marcbvtgm • 11/14/25 04:26 PM ET
I think JF but I agree, if it's someone else I'll be fine, just want NIL $$**
NOFX • 11/14/25 04:00 PM ET
Funny the big givers only give big for big national name
1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 04:07 PM ET
Are you okay? I'm worrying about you....seriously. Maybe see a Dr.?**
HokiePokie95 • 11/15/25 12:16 AM ET
Ok, something was "reported" but I can't tell what is was from this **
marcbvtgm • 11/14/25 04:30 PM ET
Franklin
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 03:58 PM ET
I think he attended the game for him, not because of VT.
MKD • 11/14/25 04:12 PM ET
So why do you think he was there for himself? Just curious.**
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 05:36 PM ET
3 reasons
MKD • 11/14/25 09:28 PM ET
I get his connections there. But unless he is talking to those former
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 09:35 PM ET
Franklin is always about business and an agenda. That's his personality**
MKD • 11/14/25 09:40 PM ET
Both head coaches were former assistants of his**
LonghornHokie • 11/14/25 06:05 PM ET
Yes I know that with no offense intended so you think he was there talking
SCHokie1103 • 11/14/25 06:11 PM ET
The story sounds good but that is like 5 hours away from Blacksburg. It
JACHokies • 11/14/25 04:18 PM ET
It wasn’t a social call
Hokiefied • 11/14/25 04:18 PM ET
Still betting on JF...Chesney would save on costs but would probably
VT757to276 • 11/14/25 03:36 PM ET
I will support Chesney and contribution
RiverVT • 11/14/25 04:06 PM ET
Yes very true !
RiverVT • 11/14/25 03:57 PM ET
All the big givers are holding back
1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 04:15 PM ET
So now the big money thing is dependent on the new hire? Same with GM, CEO?
40ozDistrict • 11/14/25 04:47 PM ET
They want a name coach
1947Sunbowl • 11/14/25 07:24 PM ET
Given that a knock against Franklin is that he has trouble winning enough
VTHokie2000 • 11/14/25 07:43 PM ET
Franklin.**
