And yet, WB is still here

WB put his faith in an inept football organization that he hired to validate his position. On top of that he undermined a competent men’s and women’s basketball organization to double down on FB. And of course, there were no consequences for WB. Maybe he is now on a short leash, but he should have already been on a short leash after the Fuente fiasco. Something doesn’t smell right. I think he has pictures.

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.**

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**

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