Per reports 30 million is more than they spend....

It's also more than Texas Tech is spending on their roster this year. I just looked OSU spent 20 million on their roster last year. ** Edited by TekkNerd at 11/11/2025, 9:18:22 AM

The clear objective for our next coach, is to hire someone that makes VT...
toddhager • 11/10/25 07:59 PM ET
Unless something very unusual happens, that ship has already sailed for VT
VTCALS72 • 11/11/25 07:20 AM ET
"get more stable, get better then get better." excellent way of stating it.**
radhokie1 • 11/11/25 08:28 AM ET
Yep, step by step and not leaps and bounds.**
VTCALS72 • 11/11/25 10:26 AM ET
Franklin is clearly the coach needed. **
OlderHokie • 11/10/25 10:19 PM ET
Which is why Franklin would be a mistake VT would never recover from.**
marcbvtgm • 11/10/25 09:02 PM ET
Completely Disagree
ForgeHokie • 11/11/25 09:37 AM ET
A bunch of assumptions based on wishful thinking, not evidence.**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 12:04 PM ET
So you're "assuming" 12 wins at Holy Cross (Chesney) > 12 wins at PSU?
Techsupport • 11/11/25 02:53 PM ET
I assume 17-30 vs top 25 in a 15 yr career doesn't translate to 10 Ws at VT
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 07:28 PM ET
Respectfully, the ACC is much easier than the B1G
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 12:19 AM ET
Respectfully, the ACC is harder for VT than the B1G for PSU.**
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:29 AM ET
I disagree
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 07:37 PM ET
Big assumption. **
Techsupport • 11/11/25 09:05 PM ET
...and (17-30 top 25)-(4-21 top 10)= 13-9 vs #11-#25. Not too shabby.**
Techsupport • 11/12/25 10:14 AM ET
13-9 vs #11-25 isn't particularly good. Beamer was 44-28 w/ VT resources.**
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:34 AM ET
You realize that's <1 game (0.44 games) separating them. Just sayin'**
Techsupport • 11/12/25 02:32 PM ET
If he's gone in 5 because he did a great job, awesome!**
Happy Dog • 11/11/25 11:19 AM ET
I would support JF if chosen, but I agree that he is not best choice for VT
HokieAl • 11/10/25 09:49 PM ET
Who's the guy with the track record doing what JF apparently cant do?
Techsupport • 11/11/25 12:06 AM ET
Well, for starters, he's 17-30 vs top 25 teams. And why bail out PSU?**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 09:07 AM ET
I agree
crazylane • 11/11/25 09:05 AM ET
Apparently? He was fired not apparently fired**
UberHOKIE • 11/11/25 12:19 AM ET
Transpose JF PSU record to VT, and he's the toast of the town. Good grief.
Techsupport • 11/11/25 02:57 PM ET
Thank you, sanity.**
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 12:21 AM ET
It's not that simple...and they don't build statues for 17-30 vs top 25.**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 06:58 PM ET
Who. Is. Your. Guy? Lol...
Techsupport • 11/11/25 08:58 PM ET
I've answered that question already.**
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:42 AM ET
That's the objective**
1947Sunbowl • 11/10/25 08:06 PM ET
BTW, convinced that Franklin is the man we need to do it and do it quickly**
toddhager • 11/10/25 08:01 PM ET
Why? He was fired for not doing a good job at a more 'relevent' program
UberHOKIE • 11/10/25 09:40 PM ET
Losing mostly to Michigan and Ohio State **
HokiesACC2004 • 11/12/25 12:40 AM ET
And MSU before they imploded. And Oregon last yr. And UCLA & NW this yr!
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:46 AM ET
I think it was a dumb firing. He was in the playoffs last year.**
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 12:22 AM ET
And yet again was 3rd in the B1G. Hit ceiling. Rinse and repeat.
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:49 AM ET
Not sure what you see as the Hokies floor right now. There's lava
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 07:36 PM ET
"Not doing a good job". How do you even reply to statement like this...lol?**
Techsupport • 11/11/25 03:12 PM ET
Who's better? Name him. **
Techsupport • 11/11/25 02:59 PM ET
…Shane**
chumley • 11/11/25 05:38 PM ET
Based on what? **
Techsupport • 11/11/25 08:47 PM ET
Not doing a good job? He was one game away from the championship last year.
maroonhiker • 11/11/25 11:08 AM ET
PSU had an incredibly easy draw.**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 06:58 PM ET
Still had to win games to get there**
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 12:23 AM ET
They literally changed the rules because PSU got such an easy draw.**
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:54 AM ET
Wasn't it because the conference champions had bye weeks?**
CPVT3 • 11/12/25 07:33 PM ET
His deal here would give him more money for a roster than OSU and Bama
TekkNerd • 11/11/25 08:28 AM ET
Huh? What planet are you living on?**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 09:08 AM ET
Per reports 30 million is more than they spend.... ◄
TekkNerd • 11/11/25 09:17 AM ET
Where are you getting that VT is going to spend $30M on its roster?**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 09:28 AM ET
Just realized I'm not on the subscriber board....
TekkNerd • 11/11/25 09:55 AM ET
So your facts are unattributed web wishful thinking based on no real info?
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 12:06 PM ET
No, it's been reported by Trey Biddy at 247.
Techsupport • 11/11/25 03:05 PM ET
You believe what some guy on 247 says without an ounce of critical thought?
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 07:11 PM ET
No, no, dont move the goal post...
Techsupport • 11/11/25 08:53 PM ET
Take about moving the goalposts..."exact number remains to be seen".
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:57 AM ET
Well duh? We'll see if its true, but it ain't based on "wishful thinking"..
Techsupport • 11/12/25 02:20 PM ET
Whatever man....I told you what I heard.**
TekkNerd • 11/11/25 12:27 PM ET
No, you posted as though it was fact, not "what you heard".**
marcbvtgm • 11/11/25 07:29 PM ET
It is true.**
TekkNerd • 11/11/25 07:39 PM ET
Folks like you are exactly why agents plant BS stories
marcbvtgm • 11/12/25 10:37 AM ET
I don't know if you're a subscriber here or on VTScoop.....

I liked "The RRKevent". Especially when the bear attacks Leonardo
