I guess if someone really wanted to own one, they could have it shipped in

from another country by boat.

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.**

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.
