do florida and LSU jobs really impact VT’s search?

I dont think we will be fishing out of the same pond; and while they may poach someone (i.e. Lane Kiffin) from a school that could be our competition, it seems like VT should be making an offer well before those schools are ready to carry out there searches. Either way, I think Bob Chesney looks like the best bet for VT

wouldn’t just retaining him as an associate head coach make more sense?

that said, A bowl game would be a major feet (others said pry did that but this would mean winning 6 of 9 against a really difficult slate. he’d have to beat cal, uva, wake and 1 of GT, Loisville, UM , FSU. If he does that he could be a Hc somewhere for sure next year. If he gets to 7 wins, id start to think about him seriously for vt.

Look at the nfl talent on last year’s team; Pry beat NOONE in 3 years

even if it is 1 win over a top 10 team, it blows the doors off anything pry did. Not to mention they are an errant throw frombeing 4-0, we ‘ifht be 0-4 facing there record. Elliott could easily flame out but grade those hires and Pry is easily in last place

Elko, Cristobal, Elliot, Pry, one of these does not fit

22’ acc football hires, sure Elliott hasnt done anything to this year but he def started with a lesser product

This seems crazy to me; the player is probably doing what is in the best

interest of the program and being penalized. Let’s say this is Caleb Woodson; id love to have him for two years with a future staff and give him this year to focus on conditioning.

could players stay and redshirt?

wonder if anyone who hasn't redshirted was offered the opportunity to do so? I would have been ok with that but get why it could derail the locker room. still, it would be nice to keep talent until the new hire is here, its not like they cant transfer at the end of the year.

a lot has been made of OC, DC and other folleys on staff, but is Fontel

Mines on that list as well? I think we thought we struck gold with him, but the WRs have consistently underperformed and he was offered significant bumps. not sure that was the best choice

if we dont have a coach lined up when the portal opens we are going to be

severely handicapped in year 1; see no reason a gm could not be hired by end if october

i heard it mentioned on the broadcast, i saw tsl posts and the story today

I guess i was hoping this would be picked up by RTD pr the roanoke times or ESPN. But I didnt see anything from those outlets other than an announcer mentioning during a VT Wofford game which noone (except us) was watching.

I’m surprised this isn't getting more coverage. Is vt going to have

a presser? Was this a missed opportunity for press, or is that forthcoming? I would want every prospective recruit, coach, etc to hear this loud and clear…

If Pat Fitz is a top candidate; we should hire in October

before competition. There could be a looooot of suitors and it would give him a leg up on a lot of next steps

this is a pretty big opportunity for him; not to get the vt job obv. but

to prove he still has it. if he won 3-4 games i think it would help his landing spot a lot. if he win 5-7, i think he’d be a hot candidate for something

give me a coach that knows the game above all else;

getting talent on campus in this age is more of a product of money than anything…

the bigger question is do you hire up or down? there will be b10/sec

fires; do you go there or do you go down? or lateral? could alabama’s coach be available? or is napier to gross?

do wordle for some comic relief for today

Andy’s joke about hyping up TSL content

On the podcast, Andy jokingly said Chris wasn’t hyping up the TSL content—funny, but I actually think TSL has hit its stride in a way the fan base is genuinely craving. At this point, why even bother with an ODU preview? Let’s be honest: nobody’s tuning in for that. Will mentioned the spike in engagement when TSL said “it’s time”—and that wasn’t a fluke. That moment resonated. Right now, most of us would rather hear your thoughts on what a new AD or head coach should look like, rather than dissecting the latest reshuffle on a sinkin
