Old news. Weak OOC schedule, beat weaker teams, struggled w/ strong teams.

The record with Vandy wasn't much different. He did a lot of things right at PSU and is doing a lot of things right at VT so far. But his career record against programs with similar resources and talent has been underwhelming. It remains to be seen if he can get over that all-important hump at VT. ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 7/1/2026, 11:22:54 AM

Beamer didn't have perennial top 10-15 classes though.**

The Franklin hire was pretty short sighted when you think about it...

Surely you jest??

I agree. Saban and Meyer were available. Is Don James still alive?**

If the program is going to get over that "hump," then people probably will

Bodes well for his ACC stint. Would expect VT to be at 9 wins minimum in a

You're grading VT on the PSU curve, not the VT curve.
marcbvtgm • 07/01/26 11:19 AM ET
Eh, Mich ST or Iowa maybe**
VictoryTurkey • 07/01/26 11:20 AM ET

marcbvtgm • 07/01/26 11:36 AM ET
At this point I just want a coach who wins games, period
VPI_1998 • 07/01/26 04:05 AM ET
Back when Frank was winning 10 games with that horrible offense ...
Will StewartAdmin • 07/01/26 11:38 AM ET
to win the big game you have to first get to the big game
lazarus1 • 07/01/26 05:16 PM ET
If we get 7 Wins in the 2026 Regular Season, I'd count it as a solid plus.
HokieNL • 07/01/26 12:07 PM ET
And it's the games against the mid level teams that get us to 10 wins
