Good god fan bases love a known name…even if they aren’t good.
Give me a young, up and coming coordinator or G5 HC over yet another retread coach who has failed with all of the resources in the world.

Pretty sure he has offset language. Penn State would owe him full buyout less what the next school will pay him.
And they are getting beat bad by South Carolina. Bad timing for the new contract and bad timing for Finebaum for saying the SEC needs six in playoffs.
His contract with Penn st has a duty to mitigate, which means he has to try to be employed and the contract would have to be roughly market value.
That said, I'd read somewhere where they were thinking like 10 million a year to sign him and that doesn't make a ton of sense. Sign him for 7-8 million and use the savings on assistants and players. He's covered either way.
Couldn't market value in the ACC be like 3-4 million? According to google the Wake Forest coach makes $2.7 million a year; I feel like they could get away with 4 at Va Tech.

Which in this case, may mean Franklin takes a pretty cheap deal from VT and tells them to throw the rest of the money they booked out for his salary into the NIL funds instead. Solid plan.
I think that's as a good hire. Should be able to get them to 8-9 wins. Should.
that's such a good hire for Virginia Tech.
With Clempson down, i could easily see them winning a few ACC titles in 2-3 years.

Man, I just don't get the appeal of going from a good situation at Ole Miss to a toxic dumpster fire at LSU. I get its considered a better job and has more resources, but he's done that once at USC and it didn't go well.
I had heard once on the radio (Travis Justice) that Mississippi law prevents coaching contracts more than 4 years out. So he can't have some insanely massive huge deal. Maybe that's changed?
They must have changed that because Lanes contract runs through 2031. It extends automatically every year that he has at least 7 wins.
