Mike Rhoades is getting the Kraft effect

Before Franklin was fired, Kraft was on the sidelines, telling him what plays and debating with him (and he force Franklin to hire his last 2 outside coordinators) Kraft is now on the bench telling Mike who to substitute becuase 'obviously Rhoades knows nothing about basketball. VCU has a superb AD, VT well its whit and company.. Last I heard no hokie club manager, no general manager for tickets, etc. not good.

They just listed the coach’s at VCU
hokie77th • 03/15/26 02:48 PM ET
You know who the AD at VT is, right. And who the #2 guy is, right?**
Atlee Hokie • 03/15/26 09:39 PM ET
i thought the #2 guy is the #1 guy**
Windows NT • 03/16/26 12:41 AM ET
You're right. Although the FBI was fooled.
KCHokie2 • 03/16/26 12:59 AM ET
remember after Buzz left it was Odom or Mike Young.... welll.....
1947Sunbowl • 03/15/26 04:03 PM ET
Imagine that! The NRV mafia loved that local guy with the nice SWVA drawl.
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:37 PM ET
You really hate a drawl, don't you?
HokieNL • 03/15/26 09:54 PM ET
No. I hate the insularity to the point of incestuousness that has caused
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:59 PM ET
Really? Seems that you make it a curse word.
HokieNL • 03/15/26 10:06 PM ET
It's just a place-holder for small-time, small-mindedness. But it comes
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 10:12 PM ET
So they fired Seth Greenberg to hire...James Johnson...right right right**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:39 PM ET
No, they fired Seth Greenberg because he wasn't "one of us." And Weaver
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:42 PM ET
It took 9 seasons, to get rid of someone who was "not one of us," right?
HokieNL • 03/15/26 10:12 PM ET
No. I make it the fault of "insiders" and not just the administration.
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:14 PM ET
Riiiight...hated him so much that they didn't care
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:45 PM ET
If he was not liked because he was not "one of us," how did he stay 9 years**
HokieNL • 03/15/26 09:57 PM ET
Whit, not the NRV mafia, made the call to hire Buzz. And it was a hell of
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:47 PM ET
Quick question...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:54 PM ET
Weaver (Dunkenberger) and Whit (Young)**
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:57 PM ET
So Whit hired Buzz Williams, then decided...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 10:09 PM ET
Dude, nice strawman. Yeah, the NRV mafia was defiant that they were done
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 10:23 PM ET
Let's say I believe you here.
HokieNL • 03/15/26 10:53 PM ET
"wore out his welcome" is NOT the same thing as lacking character. That is
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:01 PM ET
Point is, you seem to say it was because he was "not one of us"
HokieNL • 03/15/26 11:17 PM ET
Yes, we did. Got 'em the very first time at Cassell. Wonder what part of
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:23 PM ET
Sometimes that attitude hurt things...

That's another total misrepresentation of everything I've posted. Not once
King of Hokies • 03/16/26 12:51 AM ET
VT athletics has been held back by xenophobia?
MP4VT2004 • 03/16/26 09:58 PM ET
I've elaborated all over the place. Go read my posts. **
King of Hokies • 03/16/26 09:59 PM ET
Ok, pal. That's enough.
HokieNL • 03/16/26 01:16 AM ET
It's not just about basketball coaches. One of Brent Pry's major claim
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 10:22 PM ET
Being from VA and having SWVA drawl are not the same thing...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 11:06 PM ET
Odom was born in NC and spent half his young life there before moving
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:27 PM ET
He lived in VA from third grade to 10th grade...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 11:35 PM ET
Nowhere in my posts or conversations, ever, have I mentioned where someone
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:42 PM ET
We should ask someone who lived and worked in both areas...
GCHokie34 • 03/16/26 09:43 AM ET
Moir (success), Young (success, IMO, but you would say not enough of)
HokieNL • 03/15/26 11:03 PM ET
Lol. Allen - putrid incompetent. Stokes - putrid incompetent. Johnson -
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 11:19 PM ET
That’s a fairy tale. 😂**
ombandit • 03/15/26 04:41 PM ET
That's simply not true**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 04:34 PM ET
What is true? (Not sure I recall your intel on CMY’s hiring)**
HokieSA • 03/15/26 04:51 PM ET
Ryan Odom wasnt in the running...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 05:03 PM ET
So you’re saying CC and others are lying? Bold strategy **
Brewing_Hokie • 03/15/26 10:30 PM ET
Sorry, you're wrong about this one. It's all over the Subscriber Board...
RUHokie • 03/15/26 07:29 PM ET
Getting him to admit he's wrong about anything may be rather difficult.
KCHokie2 • 03/15/26 08:23 PM ET
Everyone is always wrong except GCHokie LOL**
DDhokie31 • 03/15/26 09:14 PM ET
Your own link says the Baltimore Sun refuted that report ever being true...**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 08:03 PM ET
I don't think the reporters made up their sources & multiple TSL writers &
RUHokie • 03/15/26 08:43 PM ET
Unfortunately names are floated all the time...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 08:51 PM ET
Odom absolutely was a finalist, he also interviewed for a number...
Cvillehoops13 • 03/15/26 06:50 PM ET
I can confirm this…
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 03/15/26 09:32 PM ET
I also know this to be true.
I love VT! • 03/16/26 07:59 AM ET
@GCHokie34**
DDhokie31 • 03/15/26 10:17 PM ET
You are wrong. Because GCHokie said so**
DDhokie31 • 03/15/26 09:37 PM ET
Theres a large difference in getting your name thrown in the ring...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 07:41 PM ET
He would've taken the VT job if offered...
Cvillehoops13 • 03/15/26 09:50 PM ET
Moving those goalposts from Odom wasn't a contender to Odom turned down VT**
HokieRat • 03/15/26 09:04 PM ET
I don't think goalposts have traveled that far since the 1990 UVa game.
KCHokie2 • 03/15/26 09:21 PM ET
Just say you cant read**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:09 PM ET
OP about CMY or Odom for VT coach --> "Simply not true/Wasnt in running"

Let me dumb it down for you...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:26 PM ET

Whit seems to like and accepts mediocrity. **
hokie4ever • 03/15/26 03:58 PM ET
Better to do a spending analysis of VCU to their peers**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 03:28 PM ET
Im sick of that excuse
1947Sunbowl • 03/15/26 04:06 PM ET
Of course they're not aggressive enough. They are rank amateurs trying to

@GCHokie34 isn't making an excuse, he's just stating what you
saret • 03/15/26 04:32 PM ET
Money or whatever, VCU has had a freakin remarkable history of hiring
Vippie1 • 03/15/26 03:32 PM ET
It helps coaching players when you have the most resources...
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 03:37 PM ET
I don't buy the resources excuse. They obviously don't have resources close
HokieKanger • 03/15/26 04:45 PM ET
Guys...think critically for 2 seconds...im begging you
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 04:56 PM ET
Lol. VT should just compete with VCU and stop trying to compete with GT, BC
King of Hokies • 03/15/26 09:40 PM ET
Theres no chance some of you went to college, must less graduated from VT**

hok1eboy • 03/15/26 09:33 PM ET
And VT beat UVA...**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 09:36 PM ET
Everybody they've hired has relatively quickly advanced to "bigger " jobs
Vippie1 • 03/15/26 03:46 PM ET
How many of the coaches who moved on to bigger schools were fired?**
GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 11:08 PM ET
Such the contraian always. Not even the point
Vippie1 • 03/16/26 10:59 AM ET
Sonny Smith is another one**

GCHokie34 • 03/15/26 03:42 PM ET
I have always liked him

Maybe one more year at PSU and he comes here? **
