Franklin may be too arrogant to suit a lot of fans

We dont need a andy of mulberry candidate, Need confidence, no awe shucks
Thats' s for high school A great coach in power 2 has ego, confident. Look at the coaches coach Oregon, Coach Indiana really brusk to everyone, Sabin was tough, gawd Kelly at LSU or the coach at Ole Miss.

Whoever can bring the best players with him. Pavia model.
It's the wild west now. Transfers rules college basketball and now football. If there is a NCAA rule against it, just mention lawsuit, your free to do what you want.

Sumrall, Eck, Golesh or
Chesney. Any of those four would be the way I would lean.

Guy from North Dakota State: out of the box hire & would piss people off
I just can't wait to see the heads explode when whoever the new coach is comes out. I think we need a completely out-of-the-box hire with a killer GM. But I'm like The Joker in a way. I don't care as much about the hire but about the chaos it causes. The NDSU guy sounds good and would rock the boat the most. I'm all for it.

We should be able to get him for Pry money and a four year contract, a huge $ gain for him, with some massive performance bonuses, and lots of money left for high quality staff. Chesney has won big everywhere he has gone, and we need knock JMU down a peg anyway.

In a negotiable order of preference: Chesney, Mullen, Golesh, Franklin
And maybe Shane though doubtful he’d come here, for a variety of reasons.

Seriously?
He has had South Carolina, maybe the hardest place to win in the country, in the final rankings 2 of the last 4 years. His recruiting classes have averaged in the top 20. He was on the best teams in Virginia Tech history and recruits the 757 and DC/MD. He's charismatic and tireless and knows everyone in football, and he has coached at big time programs so he knows what is needed. It's literally a no brainer if we are lucky enough to have a shot.

You’re not including Mora over Kingsbury?
I would.

Nah…..,
I really like Kingsbury’s offensive mind. You have to be able to score in the modern day game.

I am completely fine with an up and coming G5 coach as long as they have
Had that success. I think there is more fire there and willingness to think outside the box. Franklin might be good but he ain't changing what got him fired from Penn State.
