Sources: Virginia Tech in early talks with James Franklin
Former Penn State coach James Franklin and Virginia Tech are in the early stages of talks, with some resolution on his candidacy expected in the coming days, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Saturday.
Virginia Tech is still running a full search, but it's clear there is mutual interest between the parties, sources said.

I bash Peanuthead all the time but will cheer like a maf when he goes against Dabo and the U.As a former Roanoke resident VT could really benefit from someone like Franklin.
I know we all poke fun at Franklin but this is what VT needs. VT isn’t elite but neither is James so it sort of works.
I think Franklin can get VT back to what they should be which is 8-10 win team.
Agree, I think this is a good fit for bothAs a former Roanoke resident VT could really benefit from someone like Franklin.

I'll cheer him on the recruiting trail, too. Maryland and northern VA has no right being Penn St country.I bash Peanuthead all the time but will cheer like a maf when he goes against Dabo and the U.
My buddy mentioned his recruiting ability there as a reason why he’s happy with this hire as a Hokie fan.I'll cheer him on the recruiting trail, too. Maryland and northern VA has no right being Penn St country.
If he wins it once, it’s 100% more than Miami has.Franklin would have VT winning the ACC more often than not.
If Va Tech can get back to recruiting the DMV area and the Tidewater like Beamer did, they absolutely can win the ACC fairly regularly.Totally agree. He can absolutely compete against Crystalballs and Nabos of the world. He’ll build a talent pool, a talented roster which will be enough there.
Not sure about the math on this one, but I like where your head is.If he wins it once, it’s 100% more than Miami has.
