No......

what I was asking was whether MJ should have ever been hired by VT in the first place. You said it yourself if you cannot retain a coach for a reasonable period of time what chance do you have to retain the player and, more importantly, what strategies do you put in place to hopefully improve the chances of retention?

I'm not sure Jones' ability to recruit was really in question, at least not

2hhoop3 • 02/21/24 10:30 PM ET
Rodney Rice and Darren Buchanan are likely still at VT if MJ is here
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 09:11 AM ET
That is my point......
2hhoop3 • 02/22/24 10:27 AM ET
What you're suggesting is to not have MJ recruit any players at all
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 10:33 AM ET
No...... ◄
2hhoop3 • 02/22/24 10:45 AM ET
Me personally?
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 10:54 AM ET

Saying buchanan left bc MJ left is laughable

Uh...no**
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 10:18 AM ET

HokieRat • 02/21/24 09:43 PM ET
Yes...he was**
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 09:03 AM ET
Tony Skinn was primary before he left for GMU to be the head whistle
millmtnhokie • 02/21/24 10:24 PM ET
Mike Jones was his recruiter at UMD...
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 09:00 AM ET
Skinn recruited him at Maryland primarily before he left for GM. I don’t
millmtnhokie • 02/22/24 09:31 AM ET
I agree on not being sold on his status
GCHokie34 • 02/22/24 09:37 AM ET
Right so the original post was deceitful in context
HokieRat • 02/21/24 10:50 PM ET
Of course it was, his specialty**
