Question for you: If Fuente and Franklin switch places...
Do you (honestly) think Fuente would be pulling in top 5 classes at PSU?
Do you (honestly) think Franklin would be topping out with top 20-25 classes here at VT?
That's fine if you think that's the case. Personally, I disagree. And that doesn't discredit Fuente as an overall head coach. While I don't think Fuente would recruit/sell at PSU at the level Franklin has, I do think he'd flourish there in player development, schemes, etc.
I would still choose Fuente over Franklin btw (overall). But that doesn't mean I don't think there's room for Fuente (and his staff) to improve either.
More than half of the challenges you listed for Fuente also apply to Franklin. If we want to continue punching above our weight class, we need to aim to do that in all aspects of football coaching. Player development, coaching, fanbase interaction AND recruiting.
