We’ll get whoever Jimmy Sexton sends us
Hey, you said realistic. Somewhat TIC, but doesn’t Sexton represent like half of the coaches in FBS?

If Cheney brings both his coordinators he’s the best candidate.

Sexton represents both. Would think Chesney probably next in line for us.

I'm just the opposite. I only have ONE on my DO NOT HIRE list.
Brian Kelly. I have no specific front-runner. And there are things to like about almost any of the candidates mentioned by people. I always liked Pat Fitzgerald, but he's far from a MUST HAVE for me.

Agreed. Brian Kelly might force me to watch another team for a while.

It would have to be like Dr. Strangelove for me.
"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" Or instead of the bomb though...Brian Kelly. 💣 But please VT, don't make us do it. I beg you.

Honest ?, How do you put a Mullen ahead of a Franklin?
These are the two "name" guys, but Franklin's accomplishments and ties to the region dwarf Mullen's. What's the thinking there? ** Edited by Techsupport at 10/31/2025, 2:53:51 PM

Sorry for chiming into an opinion poll but one is trending up and one down

I like Mullen better than Franklin, too. I just don't think Mullen is
coming to VT. I'm not certain Franklin as either. But at least there is a better chance of it IMO.
