College Football Catch-All Thread

James Franklin to Virginia Tech. What in the world is he thinking? That's like a 9 going home with a 3 at the bar a closing time. He must have been told that he was quite literally going to have zero other options on the market this cycle.

With as many high profile jobs that will be open, it doesn't make sense to leave with the first girl who bats her eyes... but it does make sense geographically. He knows the area and has recruited the hell out of it.

It didn't work out at Penn State this year but Franklin is one helluva coach.

Of course Franklin would fall right into VT's lap.

Ugh.

I’m so jealous of those inbreds.

Family members of Lane Kiffin visited Florida and LSU this weekend. Ole Miss is offering $12M per year to stay but he has to sign before the Egg Bowl or they will fire him.

Bullshit.

 

[gtyellowjacket]

Bullshit.

I think he's going to end up at UF.

I think he's going to end up at UF.

Would be a great move for him IMO. That university has tons of resources and can build a championship roster without needing to leave its own state to recruit.

 

[gtyellowjacket]

Bullshit.

Now being reported by a couple different places.

I think I would rather live in Oxford than either Gainesville or Baton Rouge.

I cannot believe that last year we had the best open job on the market and this year VT has a "somewhere in the middle of the pack" open job on the market and they end up with James Franklin and we end up with our current staff.
