Va Tech hires James Franklin

Franklin will probably do great at VT. I never liked the guy, just a prick, but he got results. And the talent to content with is much easier. SEC has 14 of the top 25 schools talent wise, talent everywhere to compete with. Big Ten had Ohio State and Oregon with more talent than Penn State to face every year. But the ACC only has one team in the top 10, Clemson which is struggling, then Miami at 15. If he can bring Techs talent up to Penn State level, top 10, he literally will have little competition, if he continues winning the games his team was suppose to win talent wise.

from a step up in coaching and recruiting VT probably made the hire of the season! time will tell but glad he is there instead of FL or Auburn

Good hire for VT. they aren't going to be expecting championships like pedd state.

seems weird move for Franklin, VT was at best the 4th best job open. I guess the ACC is easy to win in, and low expectations relieve stress for Franklin. but otherwise I don't see the appeal.

I guess the better jobs didn't want him. They may wish they had him after they figure out there aren't 4 or 5 Kiffins, but I doubt it.

I didn't think about it before, but wasn't Brent Pry-their last coach-from Franklins "tree" at Penn State?

Bold move to take two bites of the same poison apple, but you do you Hokies

Correct. Pry was a good guy but a crappy coach. Hope we don’t learn that Franklin is the other way around.
