Virginia Tech HC James Franklin has made waves in the college football world with his recent signing class. He has not only landed top recruits, but he has also managed to do it amidst chaos and competition. And while he may have left his former team, Penn State, in a difficult spot, Franklin’s success at Virginia Tech serves as a subtle jab at his previous program.
Franklin is no stranger to the recruiting game. He has consistently brought in top talent during his tenure at Penn State, and his success has not gone unnoticed. However, things took a turn when Franklin left Penn State to become the head coach at Virginia Tech.
Many fans and critics were skeptical of Franklin’s decision to leave a successful program like Penn State for a struggling one like Virginia Tech. But Franklin had a plan and he wasted no time in executing it.
The early signing period saw Franklin make some big moves, flipping several top recruits from other programs. He did so with flair and confidence, making sure to let everyone know that he was not just landing in Blacksburg, but he was crash-landing into chaos and coming out on top.
In a recent interview, Franklin couldn’t hide his excitement and pride in his new team and their accomplishments. “Well, I must admit, I haven’t slept much, and I’m a little envious,” Franklin said. “But I am also incredibly proud of what we have been able to achieve here at Virginia Tech in such a short amount of time.”
Franklin’s words may have seemed like a subtle jab at his former team, but it also speaks volumes about his determination and drive to succeed. He didn’t just land top recruits, he did it in a competitive market where many top programs were vying for the same players.
Penn State, on the other hand, is facing a different reality. Without Franklin at the helm, the team has hit rock bottom. They have lost several top recruits and are struggling to maintain their status as one of the top programs in the country.
But Franklin’s success at Virginia Tech serves as a reminder that he is a force to be reckoned with. He has proven that he can turn a struggling program into a powerhouse, and he has done it with grace and determination.
While his move may have caused some controversy, there is no denying that Franklin’s impact at Virginia Tech has been immense. He has not only brought in top recruits, but he has also instilled a winning mentality and a sense of pride in his team.
As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Franklin and his team. And while there may be some who doubt his decision to leave Penn State, Franklin is focused on one thing – bringing success to Virginia Tech and solidifying his place as one of the top coaches in college football.
In the end, Franklin’s subtle jab at Penn State serves as a reminder of his journey and the challenges he has faced to get to where he is today. And with his determination and drive, there is no doubt that he will continue to make waves in the college football world and lead Virginia Tech to even greater success.
