James Franklin (HC Virginia Tech)

9-10 wins a year would be a dream. He won’t get quite the talent but he also won’t have Oregon and Ohio state in conference.
Oh he’ll get some very good talent at VA Tech if he can tap into the Tidewater and DMV, along with some northern NC recruits.

An excellent hire on both parts...Franklin will win 9-10 games every year and Va Tech will be a powerhouse in the ACC.
Yeah, thankfully ACC doesn’t have the same teams as powerhouses every year like the B1G, and he can have some years where he will factor heavy in the conference. He wasn’t going to beat OSU of this was his best case to beat them this year and they imploded. He kept losing to scUM as well yearly. He may have years where he could play Louisville or Wake Forest for the ACC

Franklin’s payout drops from 49 million down to 9.
Is Virginia Tech paying him 40 million? Why? Why pay him more than 1 million? I thought Penn State needed to pay the difference between what they owed him and what he's getting paid. So he's going to get his full contract - just some from Penn State and some from Virginia Tech. Why not make Penn State pay most of it? And then let Virginia Tech save some money and even pay assistants better.

This type of under-paying loophole is typically accounted for in the coaches contract.
