I don't think that was the main concern.

I think the main concern is that Odom wasn't quite experienced enough at that point for Whit's liking. Plus, as I said, I think Ballein was heavily pushing for Mike Young the whole time, and Ballein has a lot of influence.

Feel like Odom is potentially an upgrade over Rhoades...

Shbolf • 03/30/23 04:43 PM ET
IIRC, didn't Odom turn down the VT job previously?
Gobbler Guru • 03/30/23 10:55 AM ET
No, not to my knowledge.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/30/23 05:49 PM ET
I got to know Odom during his VT years.
1980VT • 03/31/23 05:31 PM ET
Wasn't the thought that Odom would jump to WF if he had a chance.(i.e.

I hope it works out........
2hhoop3 • 03/31/23 12:27 PM ET
Seems like he is untouchable regardless of how it turns out.**

2hhoop3 • 03/31/23 05:09 PM ET
I sure hope so! :)**

Ballein's influence, is that a positive or negative in your opinion?**
GretnaHokie • 03/31/23 12:09 PM ET
Generally it's been positive.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/31/23 12:10 PM ET
For a few hours it seemed true
Vippie1 • 03/30/23 04:07 PM ET
Don’t know if it will be Odom, but I’d take the under on 10 years with MY**

Hampden-Sydney grad and knows how to beat Tony B...sounds good**
Tuckahokie • 03/30/23 06:00 AM ET
That is quite possible**
HokieJamie • 03/29/23 06:37 PM ET
Could be an awesome transition when CMY decides to retire.
VTHogmollies • 03/29/23 08:04 PM ET
Yeah jones is gone in 1 or 2 years tops **
HokieJamie • 03/29/23 08:16 PM ET
Sort of surprised we still have him on staff.
EDGEMAN • 03/30/23 06:41 AM ET
I think he is benefiting from some extra time at VT
HokieAl • 03/30/23 01:20 PM ET
I was thinking the same exact thing.**
Jeffroww • 03/29/23 06:18 PM ET
A bit surprised
Vippie1 • 03/29/23 04:28 PM ET
Better conference, closer to family etc**
HokieJamie • 03/29/23 04:35 PM ET
Thought Odom already reported to be next VCU coach?**
hokietony • 03/29/23 02:22 PM ET
Everything pointing that way school as not announced it yet**
HokieJamie • 03/29/23 02:32 PM ET
Would be a really strong hire for VCU.**
VTHogmollies • 03/29/23 03:16 PM ET
And with a good run at VCU put him as leading target for ACC Schools
