Agree, the "NIL" has caused several good coaches to become "sick" and

forced them away from the game they loved. Very sad to lose these fine coaches leave and it is definitely hurting the overall results of game !

Larranaga apparently out at Miami, seemed inevitable **
Gobbler-100 12/26/24 11:36 AM ET
He was a good basketball coach for UM !**
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 07:07 PM ET
Hope his health is good **
tallahasseehokie 12/26/24 08:51 PM ET
I think it is, the NIL is what has got to him and caused his early exit
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 09:15 PM ET
It's not. NIL made him sick.**

FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 11:04 PM ET
I think the lack of NIL structure is driving them away
Walkin` Willie 12/27/24 02:01 PM ET
Especially when he saw the bill for Kidd.**

Hard to believe coaches are quitting during the season.
EDGEMAN 12/26/24 06:42 PM ET
Imagine if Rodney Rice had retired mid-season**
GCHokie34 12/27/24 04:28 PM ET
Maddox did and like Rice he's prospering**
N2VT2 12/27/24 06:52 PM ET
Quitting now gets their favored assistant a chance to get the gig.**
atlhokie1 12/27/24 11:38 AM ET
That’s the part that’s getting me. **
Jackie VT 12/26/24 10:25 PM ET
Players leave in the middle of the season,
HokieNet 12/26/24 09:15 PM ET
They should forfeit 100% of their contract at that point.
EDGEMAN 12/27/24 07:13 AM ET
Shows they can’t wait to get out. The job has changed so drastically.
NC Hoke 12/26/24 08:24 PM ET
Definitely agree with your statement, NC Hokie !**
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 11:07 PM ET
Not to me. It would not surprise me if CMY did the same
VTCALS72 12/26/24 07:41 PM ET
Yep, you are right about that, Tony Bennett was leading the charge! **
HokieNet 12/26/24 09:17 PM ET
You mean, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"**
TomTurkey 12/26/24 08:31 PM ET
Excellent evaluation !**
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 11:09 PM ET
Lets hope not!**
EDGEMAN 12/26/24 07:55 PM ET
That's gonna be a big job coming open**
GCHokie34 12/26/24 05:45 PM ET
Like UVA?
EDGEMAN 12/26/24 07:04 PM ET
Hopefully neither make internal hires like UNC and Duke
GCHokie34 12/26/24 08:51 PM ET
Wonder if Shaka would be interested in Miami. Seems like South Beach fits
millmtnhokie 12/27/24 09:29 AM ET
Not sure Shaka's wife signs off on Florida/Miami**
GCHokie34 12/27/24 01:23 PM ET
👍**
millmtnhokie 12/27/24 01:38 PM ET
Who is next?
Midwestguy 12/26/24 06:31 PM ET
Voluntarily...probably Leonard Hamilton
GCHokie34 12/26/24 08:58 PM ET
Yep- Leonard is 4 years my senior (76) and has had a good run for a 🏈
tallahasseehokie 12/27/24 08:32 PM ET
Yep, great guy and smart coach
GCHokie34 12/27/24 08:37 PM ET
Add Mike Young to the list. The college game, now a dirt-bag as semi-pro**
George Baylor 12/27/24 10:07 AM ET
Yep**
Midwestguy 12/26/24 05:57 PM ET
And with that, the ACC takes another step back
HokieAl 12/26/24 05:45 PM ET
and the list will get "longer" with time !**
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 11:12 PM ET
Add Mike Brey. Hamilton is likely next
WildTurkE 12/26/24 06:34 PM ET
If Miami was 8-4 instead of 4-8 do you think he'd resign?**
Techdady 12/26/24 04:28 PM ET
Man, how miserable must coaching be in the NIL/transfer portal day for so
Hokie 04 12/26/24 02:22 PM ET
On target, very true. The coaches are fed up of the NIL just like the fans
FLKEYSHOKIE 12/26/24 07:11 PM ET
Larranaga probably benefited more than anyone from NIL at Miami**
BROman Hokie 12/26/24 04:47 PM ET
True but his comments to Rothstein of 8 players wanting transfer or seek
HokieRat 12/26/24 09:33 PM ET
Well, he traded up for a better job as well. **
Jackie VT 12/26/24 10:24 PM ET
Depends on how much NIL money they have to spend. Money can cure 'misery'. **
Techdady 12/26/24 04:31 PM ET
Average US male lives to 74.8
WildTurkE 12/26/24 03:07 PM ET
Bill Courtney will be taking over in the interim.Didn't he coach with Seth?**
HokieBrazil 12/26/24 01:27 PM ET
Yeah, 2009-10 season. Left to take the head coach job at Cornell.**
Chris ColemanAdmin 12/26/24 01:34 PM ET
Sad but normal ending for esteemed coaches these days
Vippie1 12/26/24 12:46 PM ET
Those Miami players will likely struggle to collect all their promised NIL.
