Well, Young has taken VT to less tourneys, and won less games than Buzz.

So by comparison, yeah, people are frustrated. Young's biggest problem with fans is that his tenure was preceded by all the winning from Buzz. On the other hand, you've got a ton of fans that are quite happy with Young, mostly because he's from the NRV, has that nice drawl and will never just leave us. They hate Buzz because of the opposite. I'd personally rather have all the winning from the Buzz tenure.

Buzz always gets the last laugh

Got news for ya - CJF is more like Buzz than folks see right now
gatorhokie • 03/06/26 10:20 AM ET
Very thought provoking. Thanks for posting that.**
HokieNL • 03/06/26 10:55 AM ET
I'll take the big ego and all the winning, thanks.**

I loved his ENERGY going up/down the side line. Good coach glad we had him**
George Baylor • 03/05/26 09:49 PM ET
Personally, I enjoyed the Buzz years
91VThokie • 03/05/26 08:02 PM ET
Me, too. Because I like it when VT wins, and when we advance to The NCAAT.
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:41 PM ET
Buzz wasn’t afraid to “play the game” to compete. **

Greenberg finished 4th in the ACC in year 2 (1st season in ACC)
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 10:24 PM ET
I think Greenberg's tenure
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 09:31 AM ET
I'll never maintain that Seth is/was perfect but it was a really fun time
Vippie1 • 03/06/26 09:54 AM ET
If you take away year 1 from Seth Greenbergs tenure
Vippie1 • 03/06/26 07:40 AM ET
He actually went 8-8 in our first year in the ACC.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/06/26 07:58 AM ET
Neither could sustain it though. And I know that's not what you're claiming
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:43 PM ET
A lot of things went sideways at the end of Greenberg's tenure
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 09:34 AM ET
And he knew he would have lost it the following season...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 12:20 AM ET
Maybe. But that might also have been due to him having one foot out the
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 08:44 AM ET
He was recruiting players to A&M while at VT...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:00 AM ET
Meh. Hokie fans pretty used to mediocre basketball seasons. Buzz's record,
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:07 AM ET
The number of fans who have wanted MY fired THIS season says otherwise...**
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:09 AM ET
Well, Young has taken VT to less tourneys, and won less games than Buzz. ◄
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:21 AM ET
If MY makes the tourney this season they will be the same number...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:31 AM ET
Let's face it. Very unlikely for VT to get to the tournament. Even if it
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 09:47 AM ET
Not a single person in support of MY likes him for his drawl...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:05 AM ET
Lol, if only that were true. There are a ton of Hokie fans who absolutely
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:12 AM ET
That's like saying people only liked Buzz for his oversized head
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:15 AM ET
If only that were true. Greenberg got run out of town because he didn't
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:25 AM ET
that's ridiculous. He was hard to work for. Also, some wanted Curry on the

respectfully, I think a lot of that being the reason Greenberg got run out
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 12:40 PM ET
I agree with everything you wrote. But I don't even care what Weaver said.
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 12:47 PM ET
There's some chicken and egg with that and hard to say which came first
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/26 12:53 PM ET
Being a jerk and not being folksy aren't the same.**
TheFacts • 03/06/26 11:44 AM ET
There are lots and lots of people who don't know the difference. There's a
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 11:52 AM ET
It isnt on me to prove/disprove your own claim...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:33 AM ET
I have decades of evidence, thousands of posts from people on these boards.
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:38 AM ET
With all that evidence it shouldn't be hard to produce examples...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:40 AM ET
The examples go back 20 years. I don't keep posts. You have no clue because
King of Hokies • 03/06/26 10:51 AM ET
You said you have evidence...
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 10:52 AM ET
It's hearsay, and wouldn't be admissible in a U.S. court of law due to

Do you think Blackshear leaves for Florida if Buzz had stayed? That would
BackInTheBurg • 03/06/26 07:47 AM ET
No, Florida was promising him unrealistic things.**
TheFacts • 03/06/26 11:47 AM ET
I dont think Blackshear was interested in a rebuilding year his last year
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 08:56 AM ET
if you read the post I also said
lazarus1 • 03/05/26 10:40 PM ET
The whole premise of your post was praise for a quick turnaround
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 11:18 PM ET
Buzz's first two trips to the Big Dance at VT came up empty as did MY's...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:56 PM ET
Thanks for pointing that out. Greenberg in particular is underappreciated.
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:40 PM ET
Greenberg's only real problem was he didn't know how to schedule for RPI.
King of Hokies • 03/05/26 11:47 PM ET
Yep, and the funny thing about that...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/06/26 07:41 AM ET
Seth's "certifiably insane" comment haunted him and VT as well**
HokieNL • 03/05/26 10:02 PM ET
^^^^^ POTD ^^^^^**
HokieNL • 03/05/26 08:17 PM ET
James Johnson and Justin Fuente also get their share of mentions
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 04:58 PM ET
True, but not of the type of fascination that Buzz engenders
HokieNL • 03/05/26 05:20 PM ET
Point being mentions aren't indicative of anything...**
GCHokie34 • 03/05/26 05:23 PM ET
By themselves, I guess not...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 06:03 PM ET
Buzz's comments ..

Retired Army guys like me, appreciate Buzz for
RunHokieRun • 03/06/26 08:59 AM ET
He wasn't concerned about paying respect. He was concerned about looking
VT_Consul • 03/06/26 10:44 AM ET
What if you found out the "concern" he has for the flag was performative?**
GCHokie34 • 03/06/26 09:01 AM ET
i'm more appreciative of his tenure as time goes by
VermontDDS • 03/05/26 06:58 PM ET
He does get some. Fuente and Johnson get none...
HokieNL • 03/05/26 06:54 PM ET
Good points.
RJHokie • 03/05/26 07:04 PM ET
I'll add Kenny Brooks and Tom Brands as well to that list**
HokieBrazil • 03/05/26 05:20 PM ET
Kenny who????
Glen Allen Hokie • 03/05/26 10:41 PM ET
I knew what Kenny was along. He was bad in-game coach and he played faves

When you "steal" a chick from another guy...
HokieNL • 03/06/26 12:53 AM ET
Nah... The fool is the VT fan who thought Kenny would never leave. Myopic.**
