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…

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…….
