I seriously think as CC on TSL has alluded to, if we floated these huge numbers out of nowhere and legitimately shocked agents and the industry on what VT is actually capable of given the right people making the shots. So I wonder if Sexton/Franklin are trying to set the market, saying holy crap VT of all places just offered this, trying to see if elite programs can go even higher.
And Sexton I've read kind of wants to play King somewhat and be the decider of who goes where. Corruption and greed at their finest.
Retired. He's 78 right now.
Ralph Friedgen lived next door to my parents back when they lived on Lake Oconee in Water's Edge, the same subdivision as Frank Beamer and George O'Leary. I remember chatting with him once, back in the pre-ACC days. He was cleaning off his grill, and we were chatting on grilling, and I mentioned that at a TSL spring game tailgate, there was a full pig on a big smoker grill, and somebody stuck a nametag with "Al Groh" on it. He responded, "I'd hate to see how y'all would treat a big guy like me." I responded without thinking, "Oh, no, sir, we don't play you."
From quick googling:
Chesney - Sexton
Helton - Sexton
Huff - Sexton
Sitting around his lakehouse at Lake Oconee (aka Lake Football Coaches)
Something like 80 coaches have houses around that Lake, including both Beamers.
Friedgen last had a coaching role in 2015 at Rutgers. He was on the ballot this year for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Hanging out with Charlies Weis? I think Notre Dame is still paying him not to coach there anymore.
I would take Heupel in a heartbeat. He built them back to a good program, runs a fun offense, and it apparently not an asshole.
I would use giphy from home, but it's blocked at work. When I look for a gif, I always exclude it, because they're usually a good percentage of google results, and I can never end up using them. (Ex: "hot emma watson gif -giphy")
Always trade offs, I guess. /shrug
Yeah 48 fouls in a game is pretty ridiculous.
the problem is, jimmy sexton probably represents all our other candidates...anyone know if he also represents helton, huff, chesney, etc...?
Yeah, that is annoying about Imgur and good point it's complicated for others to figure out. I'd go with Giphy then. Every other image hosting service out there that I know of does some sort of hot linking protection though.
I've seen in the $11-12MM range annually, close to $100MM in total compensation and $12-14MM NIL budget have been put on the table. If they're not biting at that, at some point I don't think Franklin is serious about coming here. But I think a lot of others potentially would be.
The problem is Sexton represents nearly 3/4ths of all major college coaches.
There were a lot of fouls called in that game. But I was stoked to see 56 points in the paint. That is as many points in the paint as the opponent had total.
TSL basically reporting on the podcast that Jimmy (and therefore Franklin) are basically trying to extort Tech, after we've upped the offer multiple times to meet their demands. They're talking as if the current offer is in the 8 figures.
I know TSL has been known to pass off other's reporting or rumors as their own insider info but this appears to be a huge confirmation
Should we start a pool for when we think a coach will be announced?
I'm going with Dec 10th. (spoiler, it won't be Franklin)
what's ralph friedgen up to these days
(Net Loss) = (Net Gain) = $0 for all possible outcomes.
Seems this would be an exercise in futility, but it could be hilarious as you progress from day to day.
Someone misunderstood the hiring process.
- Cut a hole in a box
- Put [James Franklin] in the box

I started at the bottom and working backwards, came to "The Bomb" as a sauce and thought we were doing information leaks.
Imgur is annoying, because sometimes they save gifs as mp4 files, and when you right click for the direct link, you then have to manipulate the extension. But will do, sir.
Yarn.com seems to be a source for gifs and memes from movies and tv shows. At least, when I get an obscure reference from a movie and search it, more often than not, if I can find a result, it's from there.
This settles some momentary confusion I had. I didn't know and wasn't paying attention during play, but had trouble spotting the outlines during a close up and thought I was just having a moment. 😅
The Bomb is more of an extract than a sauce, so it seems much hotter than its scoville rating.
As a watcher of many, many episodes, I've come to the conclusion that that is one hot sauce that I will never try. Have no interest. I've done the Last Dab: Apollo, and just recently purchased Last Dab: Thermageddon (haven't had a chance to try it yet), but I will never do The Bomb.
Did a 6/7 wing hot ones lineup during covid, even got the last one (Last Dab: Apollo) on video. I think I linked it in my AMA.
They are for me too-once in awhile they don't but usually they do. When they don't, I just choose a different, similar one.
Unfortunately, you are both right.
