I would hope we never stopped talking to our 'next option(s)'
Cool name.
Perhaps, but if Franklin decides VT is the right opportunity, VT would probably be ready to lock it in sooner than the end of November.
Score another for the all name team
I don't think you're right about no leverage. We have money and a good opportunity for a turnaround situation.
But you're right when you say we can't be acting like smug idiots.
We put forward our best case, and look for who we think would be the best coach. I suspect we'll be fairly patient, but will also be looking for a strong alternate.

Suck on that one, Mountaineers
Name checks out.....
Welcome to thr Hokie Nation!
Offer an early signing sweetener.
For example, double bonus for #games won above 6 if he signs now, decrease by the day until Dec 1.
and memory is the third thing to go.
By chance, do you happen to remember the first two?
FAM!
Ah, yeah, remember that guy. /shrug
...and what are the first two?
[scratches head] I can't remember. /shrug
First, this is business, don't apologize. I don't have a Second but this looks good otherwise
Why would you assume they aren't doing that right now? I highly doubt all their eggs are in the one basket. Just because there is smoke around Franklin doesn't mean that the search committee is sitting around a table, staring at a phone and waiting for a call. I'm sure they're continuing to do their due diligence on other coaches. I'd like to think they can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Not sure why there's this "All right, pack it in," on Franklin on November 4th. The earliest (external) hire that I can find from last year was on Nov 26 (Mississippi St.). Could be I found an incomplete list, but this just isn't typical coach hiring time yet. It would be wonderful to get it done early. Lots of time left though.
MEH. 😕

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Charleston Southern at Virginia Tech 7pm ACC Extra That's still running? It had disappeared a few years back. Good to know it's up and running again.
No FAM for me thanks to the Google/Disney spat.
But glad to hear the team really settled and started to shine in the 2nd half!
Sorry, Coach Franklin, but we're going to have to pull our offer. The fans on the message boards set a hard deadline, and you failed to make a timely decision on our hypothetical offer that we're assuming you received an unknown amount of time ago.
Same
He did. I meant our G5 coach hire is either going to crash and burn like Fuente did or exceed expectations like Cignetti. I didn't mean hire him specifically.
I can do it from a computer, but for the life of me, cannot figure it out on my phone
While it would be great for VT to hire franklin early so he can start rooting, i dont expect to get a hire of anybody until the typical end of November/early December time frame. Too much incentive for agents ahd coaches to wait until then and the larger coaching landscape is at least a bit more clear as to what will be open.
I don't think there's any reason to
A) believe that Franklin isn't interested anymore.
B) "Move on" all of the rest of our candidates are going to be coaching for the next 2 months so we should stay with Franklin until he's announced otherwise.
On A any good agent and especially Sexton is going to look at the Auburn opening regardless if Franklin is interested or not just to get leverage for his client, that's going to take time and delay any timelines. This could happen every week until the end of the season for all we know.
I think BAG continuously hinted at Tony Elliott being the hire in 2020 until Fuente was not fired
