Hard to believe VT and USM were on equal footing back in the early 90s.

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


Blacksburg was a klavern back in the 1920s and James Franklin was born in 1972.

Sounds like Franklin has interest from both and offers but he is holding out for FSU. VT and Arkansas are walking away and now moving on to other options.

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.


Perfect example of people on the internet running their mouths without knowing an inkling of what they’re talking about




At least you had the nuts to call your own self out. Way more than you can say for 95% of this board

Great get for VT. Franklin is a good coach and gets really good talent, problem is the stale offense they run but I think he will lift VT

The SEC doesn't need either one of them.

I second this, and add West Virginia to the mix. I know they don't fit geographically, but they would be funny af in the SEC. Both schools would be fun in the SEC.

I have been hoping that someone would hire him so that would eliminate him from the Auburn job.
