We did have some breaking news about a couple of weeks ago. James Franklin takes the job at Virginia Tech. The Hokies lost their last regular season game to Virginia, but as a whole, coach, you look at Virginia Tech being able to pull the trigger early, get their guy. There's some schools outside the ACC like Penn. State his former team that doesn't even have a head coach in place. They have the 128th ranked recruiting class out of 135 schools. We talked about Manny Diaz and maybe Jeff Brah being mentioned as candidates. What does that mean for the other coaches within the ACC that James Franklin now is in the conference? Well, I think the ones that are still out there and have not found another job or not looking for another job, you have to be on uh uh hot, not the hot seat, but you have to be hot to get another job and it's, it's a game of what have you done for me lately. So what, what has Duke done for anybody lately, you know, even Georgia Tech, as good as they have been, what have they done for anybody lately? They lost 3 of the last 4 football games and that's kind of how football and coaching, uh. is you've gotta win immediately. You've gotta win the most games now and so I think right now we've about seen all the movement. I still think Tony Elliott, I guess he signed a new contract with Virginia. He's probably done the, he's done the best job in the conference, uh, should be coach of the year. Uh, what, what a wonderful fit he would have been at Penn State, uh, and I've, I've heard rumors they've hired, uh, uh, a coach, um, at Penn State. What did they hired the coach from somewhere what was a rumored to go to Penn State. Well, the rumor was Kelani Sataki. That is the, the rumor of a BYU, right, that hasn't been finalized yet. Jeff Bram now is another name that is all of a sudden basically in predictive market. It's just been the front runner and Manny Diaz is basically a forgotten commodity coach, you know, they have 5 losses on the year and, and now Duke playing for an ACC championship. Diaz isn't mentioned with any of these openings right now. Yeah, but even, even if Duke wins the conference, they're not gonna make the playoffs. It's been a, I, I think a bad year for him. He, he, he's expected to have much more of a better season. If he wins the conference, that'll put him in a good projection for the future. Jeff Robb, I think he lost 3 of the last 4 football games, did not finish strong. His quarterback was banged up. He had his running backs were lost and did not play, and so he did not finish strong, and he is a Louisville graduate former quarterback there, so I could see him staying there. Manny Diaz really right now he's not a hot topic. He's not a hot item. It would have to be an NFL type job or something like that, I think at this point in time.
