This guy is focused and committed. His players love him in an era when the players hold all the cards. I think the biggest area VT needs to improve is recruiting talent at the high school level. I think this is his strength. He also gets that the most important part of any football team is line play. This is also where a school like VT can be most competitive in recruiting. It will be harder to land the skill positions, but a QB knowing he is going to be protected and a RB knowing his line will open holes will surely help that. I don't really like what College Football has become with the NIL and super conferences, but I think this is a great hire given the current environment. Let's hope Mr. Franklin can recruit good coordinators to help him with the Xs & Os on game day. He will bring in better talent and discipline than we have seen in a while. I think we also have a coach that cares about his players and preaches integrity and accountability. All great things from my perspective. I am also thankful to VT for upping the financial commitment. This is really tough to do when you know you will never crack the top ten in this area. This will make us competitive especially in the ACC, going further will require us to find overlooked kids that can be developed. This appears to be another area where Franklin will shine. GO HOKIES!!!!!!!!!
