And the fact remains - FSU job is not open. It's like fan fiction from UVa fans I've talked to the last few days, they're like but what about muh FSU??

They don't have the money. They have over spent and over extended themselves. And further more screw FSU anyway - why are UVA fans trying to vicariously big dog us through FSU? Freaking losers man.

Also national recruiting director Brian Dohn isn't worried about our low ranking, he says it's more of a reflection of the small number of commits than anything else and that Franklin will likely rectify that.

Edit: adding that they like Bergeron the QB commit

TBH I think it's a lazy opinion. SaS is so removed from the minutiae of college football, he's a national talking head for mostly NBA and then NFL. I mean to talk of VT like we are some scrub no name school was pretty ignorant. Now if Franklin had been hired by Western Carolina or something ok that would be weird. But VT is a damn P4 school and a nationally known entity. I know we have been mostly down for a while now, but to talk like Franklin just took a lowly job is so freaking ignorant. Look at the footprint/region, the potential, the financial commitment from VT, the fan base, the history. Just so dismissive. It's just rage bait.

Would it really be that awesome if he took the Arkansas job? What a turd job, I guess you can chant SEC if you want, but that is a third tier SEC job surrounded by Texas, TAMU, Oklahoma, LSU.

Chris Cante? More like Chris Cant he get over getting blasted by VT year in and year out

So I found the full rant on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqupsFDlYEc

I mean, is the opinion SaS is making that bad? I heard through the grapevine that there was mutual disinterest between Franklin and LSU/Florida, so after those 2 what are the big jobs available? SaS implied Franklin shouldve waited a year before coming back. Which if trends continue, there's possibilities of FSU and USC coming open, which are bigger programs than VT is right now.

Obviously it works out for us and I'm happy we have Franklin, but I dont think the take that Franklin shouldve sat on his buyout and waited a year for a bigger job is an invalid opinion
