Good hire for a program that has really fallen off the last decade.

And he's a good hire to maintain that falling off status.
Edit: shite, I obviously haven't paid enough attention to him. I could've sworn he had a terrible record at Penn State until I just looked it up.
Downvote me, I deserve it

IMO college football is more fun when VT is relevant. Love watching their home games.

I think that's a good fit for both Franklin and VT.

I'm hearing that it's not a done deal and still could go sideways.....
take that for what it's worth....
too many sauces trying too hard to be the first to report!

Haha what a retarded statement. He won at Penn State and Vandy. He will do good there, elite recruiter in the DMV area.

James is a very good coach. It’s a great hire for VT.
Posted on 11/14/25 at 1:06 pm to Quicksilver
Apparently their fans are mad about it but I think it’s as close to a perfect hire as you could get for them.

Was that who your fan base seemed to want the most?

Don't see how Virginia Tech fans could possibly complain about this.

The vast majority had this as their top option.

I think a big percentage does. I will say the ones that understand that we need to raise expectations know we need someone that at least understands how to build a championship culture.
He fits the bill there for sure. He would still be my top choice but if you believe the media evidently there's something there that's a barrier.
Could be true, could be bull.... IDK.....

I totally understand trying to read through the media. Good luck!

I think he’ll be a massive thorn in PSU side now.. Franklin recruits DC, Va, MD well and was a major reason that Penn State had a lot of talent

Franklin to VT always made too much sense.
Posted on 11/14/25 at 1:19 pm to Quicksilver
Happy for Tech if true. JF recruited the DMV area heavily at PSU so it should be an easy transition.

Is Franklin to Arkansas a possibility?
Posted on 11/14/25 at 1:23 pm to usc6158
Maryland makes more sense but they can't figure out the buyout money for Locksley. Steph Curry left Under Armor yesterday so that probably doesn't help.

Glad he's off of the LSU list. Old "sit on a lead Franklin".

I said this about Miami too. I always enjoyed watching those good Miami and VT teams in the 90's and early 2000's.
