their greatest asset was a willingness to pay players under the table. NIL and revenue share has neutralized that

It's really a fine line between being elite and being a complete dumpster fire. Look at FSU's past couple of years, Clemson and PSU this year

Heard the same thing this morning. I’m out in the Carolinas and my boss is VT alum and is pretty in the know up there, he’s hearing Franklin is a done deal.

It seems like that might be the case. Probably be public fairly soon.

Is that a good fit? Off the cuff, it doesn't feel like one to me.

Personally think that would be about as good as it’s gonna get for them right now

Good for VA Tech. Bad for Penn State. Franklin has always been a great recruiter in the Virginia and Maryland areas.

Honestly can’t imagine VT could do much better than Franklin at this juncture. Would be a big get for them.

Yeah, hopefully he screws them over with 'crootin. The downside on the anti-PSU angle is that it'll probably reduce that big buyout they're paying him vs. if he sat out a year.

Same with Wisconsin. But I suppose someone could pluck another “Curt Cignetti” from nowhere and shock the world. If you can grab a smart young coach, who can bring players with him, and have a booster base that’s willing to open up the pocket books. You probably have a pretty good shot at a quick turnaround.
No, there’s not going to be enough known commodities to fill even half of these high profile jobs. But there’s also a pretty simple path/formula for success that wasn’t available 5 years ago…

This 100%. This alone makes Franklin a home run hire for them. The DMV area is loaded with talent and Franklin is a program builder. Shouldn’t take VT long to get back to relevance in the ACC with how low the bar is. Smart move for both parties.
