That is interesting. Thanks for looking that up!
Dan Huff Hokies Head Coach confirmed!
Oh I do love a Player's Hater Ball
1 - Chinballs Johnson. Fuck that guy
2 - Jeff Jagoff-zinski. Fuck this guy with a plank that has been recovered from a 40 year old outdoor deck demo.
3 - Jimmy Johnson - Because fuck the Cowboys, that's why
4 - Thomas Edison - He knows why
5 - *redacted* - because of that stupid *redacted*
To be noted, he has three other offers. One of those is Southern Miss (Charles Huff), and the other is UNLV (Dan Mullen).

2023: 6 (3 in 2nd, a 3rd, 5th and 6th)
2022: 8 (1st, 2 in 2nd and 4th, a 6th and 2 in 7th)
2021: 6 (2 in 1st, 2nd and 3 in 7th)
2020: 5 (2 in 2nd, 4th and 2 in 6th)

2017: 1 (3rd)
2016: 5 (2 in 2nd, 3rd, and 2 in 6th)
2015: 3 (2nd and 2 in 5th)
2014*: 3 (2nd, 4th, 5th) *not sure if these apply as 2014 was Franklin's first year
Six 1sts, twelve 2nds, seven 3rds, seven 4ths, seven 5ths, eleven 6ths, seven 7ths.
62 if you count 2014. 5.6 per year average.
I agreed with that take the last two hires, but, this time, we can't afford take a chance on someone looking to prove themselves. We know the crapshoot that can be.
We need a proven, consistent winner. That coach could come from another level, but needs to be more than a 2-3 season run.
Franklin has his baggage, but so does everyone else. He might not be the coach to get us to a natty, but he can turn us into a winner over the next three years so that we are in a better position when conference realignment happens again.
And, maybe into a place to attract the coach that can get us competing for a natty. If we get to that point, we can even take another chance on an up and comer. But we are a long ways from there right now.
Right now, we just need to win.
Either he knows who the new coach is, or he is real damn excited to wear maroon and orange. Also, given his background maybe this is a 2-sport pickup that is more for Mike Young than football, who knows

# | The Argument for James Franklin to be the next VT Football Coach His baggage is that he struggled to have Penn St fans realize they aren't Ohio State or Michigan and Nattys don't just fall out of trees and into their laps.

# | The Argument for James Franklin to be the next VT Football Coach It's the kind of top flight discussions we have regularly on here. And it gives me the chance to post about the great WWI Flying Ace too.
At least Bowden wasn't a total douchebag slimeball (at least to my knowledge).
Geezus, now that's a crappie!!
Like another poster said, you really want someone who is younger and hungry to prove themselves.
Frank was Franklin's DPP at Vandy. It's the same job, just a new title.
If we announce a GM and HC at the same time, it's for performative reasons. Make no mistake that (with the exception of Andrew Luck) every CFB GM serves at the pleasure of the HC.
Coach without a backup plan. /S
My frustration with Denver was you fill up the rental car drive to the airport and get a fee from the rental agency for bringing it back with less than a full tank due to the distance between the gas station and the rental return.
I would be so happy with any of those three.
Shouldn't this be in the fishing thread?
Whenever I see negative jokes about the Atlanta airport I'm always a bit perplexed. That's gotta be based on like an anecdotal experience
It always comes from people who don't live in major cities and/or don't fly regularly. They always come through Atlanta for a layover, and they find the size overwhelming. But I do wish people just said that instead of "that airport sucks!!!@1!"
hanging on to the best of the current class
Do we really need to hang on to the best of the 106th ranked class in 2026? Even if you sort by average recruit ranking, we're still second to last in the ACC (in front of just UVA).
If those players really want to attend Virginia Tech regardless of the coach, then we should honor their scholarships, but I'm not sure there's much we should really fight to hang on to.
Primarily Starting QB. They were 3-1 when he got hurt in the win over Clemson. Been all downhill since then.
They will likely lose at least 3 of their 5 remaining games. GT, Miami, and Notre Dame. Possible wins are UNC and BC.
They just gave Shane a raise last year. He is making $8.15M with increases of $100K a year until 2030 plus a bunch of incentives and other compensation.
Shelton did address this above. Most P4 coaches aren't gettable unless they have baggage. The question is how much baggage does he have? I'd argue not that much.
Gosh... this should be a Mt Rushmore topic thread.
Chinballs is number one for me. hate that guy and all his illegal chop blocking dickbaggery.
Freeze for obvious reasons gotta be there.
Kelly for killing that kid.
Paterno for obvious reasons.
and Bowden for stealing our National Championship in the 4th quarter.
Oh man, I forgot about him.
One thing I will always appreciate about Fuente is how much he hated Fedora, and how he completely annihilated his coaching career. That was quite a lot of fun
SI just putting out straight nonsense now. They published Ai nonsense suggesting Jay Norvell as our next head coach. Couldnt even Ai spelling Colorado correctly. 🙄
18-26 in the Mountain West over 4 years. No thanks. Also 62 years old.
