Thanks for the reply CC.....

I recall that article and with the benefit of hindsight now that article and the accompanying comments might be even more of a must read now for moving forward. I have to reference another one of your articles "Shot Across the Bow" and the SI piece to say that either one or both of those probably could and SHOULD have put him in the crosshairs if anybody in leadership was really paying attention. Please do not misunderstand me, I am thankful for the FEF that transpired but, I am more than slightly agitated that a deeper dive and more pressing questions were either not asked or follow up ignored. This is the 4 or 5 years too late I referenced in response to @VTScoop and his touting a wider lens for Sands now. I hate being negative but, I am all out of do overs at this point and sadly I believe VT is as well.

Terrible article, it’s an OpEd with no opinion other than “bad man bad”

So WB shouldn’t say “we were still ass, but not that bad”?

I think when he was hired it was viewed as a good fit for the ACC as he fit

It's more simple than that. Lose games in sports that matter and anything

When he was hired VT took its FB success for granted.**

Emphasized Olympic Non-Revenue Sports. I love them, but not at the cost of

We went to a bowl game in football so can’t see Whit being on any hot seat

What's hilarious is using "went to a bowl game" as your standard.

He's got a lot of important eyes on him right now.

Things really came to a head this year...
Chris ColemanAdmin 03/18/25 02:35 PM ET
So was this a bad strategy by Whit or poor execution by Pry?**
vtbball80 03/18/25 09:07 PM ET
Football season is on Pry, who was hired by Whit.**
Chris ColemanAdmin 03/19/25 07:55 AM ET
BOTH were Failures**

And a poorly led and mis-managed Hokie Club

This will be the nail in the coffin. If you can’t raise money
