If I was CMY I would stay and keep drawing my salary until the end of

my contract. If they decide to give me money to construct a real team, fine, if not, well that’s okay too. We’re talking about a coach that spent the majoity of his career making ~ $160k a year. Why walk away from the giving tree now that he’s making real coin? Just because we’re too cheap to give him money to field a competitive team he should give up $2.7M a year and quit? Country boys know you make hay while the sun is shining.

If the pay is in the 50s and the player money is in the 50s

He shouldn’t quit. His administration quit on him. Ride it out if I’m him.

Fans should ride it out and stay home too!

Great post! Have to agree with you. I would, however, knowing how

I think MY retires, Odom wouldn’t leave VCU to coach at VT

Most schools would never elevate an assistant after a trainwreck season.
Gobbler Guru • 01/09/25 09:57 AM ET
Yep, sadly a recently likely scenario**
Vippie1 • 01/09/25 07:03 AM ET
Agree, CMY will retire and Odom won't come to VT. VCU is a better job now.**

There will be several ACC job openings after this season & next.
I love VT! • 01/09/25 01:04 AM ET
VT should say to CMY, "we are done"
lazarus1 • 01/08/25 11:41 PM ET
I disagree
Gman12 • 01/09/25 11:39 AM ET
I agree. I also think that Whit is the one "not suited..." **
91VThokie • 01/10/25 09:13 AM ET

lazarus1 • 01/09/25 05:51 PM ET
He has proven otherwise
Gman12 • 01/10/25 09:22 AM ET
I’d rather take the 6 million it would cost to buy out his contract and

Certainly possible. That's why I asked about possible replacements if
