Why? Why move on? No deal from a currently employed coach is going to be finalized until the season ends. We can and should continue to pursue other coaches until Franklin tells us no. Unless you want Pat Fitzgerald or Jimbo Fisher (god, I just threw up in my mouth typing that) there is zero point to moving on from Franklin today.
Interested in Chesney? Go interview him. Ask him about who he would hire, his recruiting strategy, his salary expectations, NIL expectations, etc.
And at the same time, continue negotiating with Franklin. If you get an agreement, great. If you don't, then you haven't lost any momentum.
Agreed. We can't afford to be a part of a bidding war, time to look at guys like Bob Chesney.
I wouldn't trust Google results, but also wouldn't be comfortable living in SWVA with a daughter that needs that kind of medical care.
As a Hokies and DC sports fan, I am in agony.
2 football seasons from hell, a baseball ownership group that won't spend a dime, a completely irrelevant basketball franchise, and a hockey team that should be just good enough to make me believe...but isn't even playing up to those expectations.
100% this
Seems like it's time to move on and get down to business with candidates #2, #3, #4

4 other schools? Man, this is like we made a recruit's Top 5 (no order - my recruitment is still open). Makes me write this off as not happening. Onto plan B I think
It's a nothing burger because Maclain essentially just implied that he knows something about Franklin without actually hinting at what he might know or how that might or might not be related to VT. It has taught us nothing. I come away from it supposed to think that Maclain knows something. That gets me nowhere.
that's just it - it could have been anything. It could've been that Franklin is definitely going to VT or definitely not going to VT. Nothing was revealed here except perhaps that maybe he knows more than he's letting on. Which, big whoop.
Yep had another one go down last night in Luke McCaffrey on first play of game
If they weren't down so many bodies in the WR room, he probably would have been relegated to the practice squad by now. But they just need guys to field a team.
Wants a school with a good hospital for his daughter.
Carilion has 2.9 stars on google....really hope they checked out LewisGale
My sauce is saying maybe not today.
Agent is pitting us against 4 other schools. Won't say which ones.
Franklin was in town for 2 days. Wants a school with a good hospital for his daughter.
No one seemed upset about hiring Phil Montgomery for OC.
Not sure if Huepel ever coached with Briles, but they both ran/run version of the Veer and Shoot
What do you think is the second half of the sentence? That Franklin to Tech is a done deal?
If we hire Hugh Freeze, I am done.
I would rather watch Virginia Tech loose 100 games in a row than watch that garbage person represent my school.
Heck, Schiano had signed the contract. Tennessee had to argue the Contract wasn't valid because their wrong person had signed it.
Still a pick thou right?
Greg Schiano was all but hired for Tennessee and fans rioted online and pulled up all the dirt (Penn State ties) on him and forced the UT AD to rescind the offer.

He's been a massive disappointment, to be frank.
I was incredibly excited to add his athleticism and return abilities and he's been awful.
Key drops, bad mental errors, fumbles. Incredibly frustrating to watch.
He's one of the faces on the ACC Network. Its literally his job to be plugged into the goings on of this conference before news breaks so he can be prepared to talk about it. He knows more about this process than any of us, and because of who he works alongside of, he likely more than any of the regular sources we have been leaning on.
Just gonna make some guesses:
Auburn
Florida
Maryland (just to fuck with Penn State if he goes there)
LSU
