It's $41,750,000 over five years for #Hokies' Franklin. Effective Nov. 15, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2030. His payments from Tech break down like this:• 11/15/25-12/31/25: $6M• 2026: $6M• 2027: $5M• 2028: $4M• 2029: $12.75M• 2030: $13.25M— David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) November 21, 2025

If Franklin chooses to leave he owes:
8M - Before July 15 2026
6M - Before Dec 15 2026
4M - Before Dec 15 2027
2M - Before Dec 15 2028
1M - Before Dec 15 2030
VT termination without cause, he's owed remainder, but does have offset language and obligation to seek employment (Not full Jimbo)
If Franklin were to be fired without cause before 2030, the #Hokies would owe him the remainder of his contract. There is offset language in there should he get another coaching job. He would be required to make reasonable efforts to find one.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) November 21, 2025
The #Hokies' salary for 10 full-time assistant coaches is $9.5M. Based on 2024 numbers from USA Today public schools, that would rank fourth, just ahead of Alabama's $9.475M (behind Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson).It's $6M for the support staff, so $15.5M in total.— David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) November 21, 2025
