Ok. Well I guess we…

will disagree. You clearly can’t stand the idea of Franklin, and I’m good with that. O’Brien has absolutely sucked in college. But you do you. Yup.

Supposedly, Auburn told Sexton they're going in a different direction
MKD • 11/03/25 12:30 PM ET
"Supposedly", you "think", and "maybe it won't". Solid info there.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 05:00 PM ET
Exactly. That's why I said it that way...
MKD • 11/03/25 07:28 PM ET
Yes. It’s called equivocating.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 09:47 PM ET
prevaricate**
MKD • 11/04/25 08:35 AM ET
That too.**
marcbvtgm • 11/04/25 12:48 PM ET
Yep...now back to the duck pond... ;)
JRHokie • 11/03/25 02:09 PM ET
keep your head on a swivel **
bigbadbird • 11/03/25 02:37 PM ET
Man, It's been a wild ride...but we love it
JRHokie • 11/03/25 03:13 PM ET
if he wins all will be forgiven-at least until half time of next week**
bigbadbird • 11/03/25 03:17 PM ET
There was smoke last week, today there are flames!**
BG Hokie • 11/03/25 01:40 PM ET
May I ask what the flames are?
Phhenom • 11/03/25 01:50 PM ET
The message board internet flames all around us.**
BG Hokie • 11/03/25 01:51 PM ET
He’s persona non grata with higher end P2 schools
Hokiefied • 11/03/25 01:33 PM ET
Near as I can tell no other fanbase with an opening wants him. Just sayin'
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 03:34 PM ET
Its because the PSU defense under Pry was really good and keeping
HortHokie • 11/03/25 04:05 PM ET
Except PSU D didn't fall off after Pry left.
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 05:08 PM ET
He’s a good coach & great recruiter but I don’t think he wants VT**
Hokiefied • 11/03/25 03:49 PM ET
Terrible game coach. PSU recruiting was pretty much what it always is.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 05:11 PM ET
Maybe, but he will win while he is here…
bamahokie1 • 11/03/25 03:06 PM ET
O'Brien was > Franklin in their 1st 2 seasons at PSU. How's BC doing?**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 03:31 PM ET
I’m sorry, do you really think O’Brien is on Franklin’s level?
bamahokie1 • 11/03/25 03:50 PM ET
Yeah I do. Winning NFL % and Nat'l Coach of the Year vs perennial B1G 3rd.
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 05:33 PM ET
Ok. Well I guess we… ◄
bamahokie1 • 11/03/25 09:09 PM ET
College coach of the Year and Bryant award...yeah he sucked in college.**
marcbvtgm • 11/04/25 12:55 PM ET
Franklin will win the cupcakes while at VT. Given his reputation, can he
VTHokie2000 • 11/03/25 03:23 PM ET
Given the state of the ACC even the marquee games are in his wheel house
Hokiefied • 11/03/25 03:46 PM ET
Why don't people realize Franklin wouldn't be lining up with PSU talent?**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 05:34 PM ET
Maybe. Then again, L'ville, NC State, GT, UVA, Miami, FSU could be the
VTHokie2000 • 11/03/25 03:56 PM ET
It'll have trouble getting put of the gravitational pull of the last decade**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 03:31 PM ET
If Franklin has VT playing the role of bridesmaid too much in marquee
VTHokie2000 • 11/03/25 03:38 PM ET
I have a hard time finding much to put in the JF plus column for VT.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 03:42 PM ET
I have the same difficulty too particularly since history isn't on his side
VTHokie2000 • 11/03/25 04:07 PM ET
There just aren't many analogous success stories I can think of.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 04:58 PM ET
100% on target Hokiefied!**
HokieAvalanche • 11/03/25 02:44 PM ET
Fired coaches don't generally rebound upwards. It's really just been a
BG Hokie • 11/03/25 01:41 PM ET
Agreed. Prob coulda got him cheaper but we’re so scared of missing out this
VaPoly07 • 11/03/25 01:35 PM ET
My hope is that he wants to stick it to PSU and going to VT is the best way
jkharman • 11/03/25 02:26 PM ET
So VT hires a guy nobody else wants so he can stick it to PSU? Brilliant.**
marcbvtgm • 11/03/25 03:36 PM ET
ya'll talk like all the coaches are just mean hot girls **
bigbadbird • 11/03/25 02:39 PM ET
Not far from the truth**
Hokiefied • 11/03/25 02:59 PM ET
NIL killed Auburn- now everyone can buy players **
bigbadbird • 11/03/25 01:18 PM ET
Sumrall is likely their guy, IMO Franklin will either be at VT or on TV**
BROman Hokie • 11/03/25 12:45 PM ET
I think he goes to Stanford **
Hokiefied • 11/03/25 01:38 PM ET
No TV**
949hokie • 11/03/25 01:18 PM ET
I agree Sumrall is a great fit for Auburn.
MKD • 11/03/25 12:50 PM ET
Yeah, until he loses a few games…….
