I'm going to ask a hypothetical question, and if no one cares to answer
it, I fully undrstand. I hope the Board Hosts will also give their opinion if they care to. Here goes:
My perfect scenario would be for CMY to be given enough money to keep 4-5 of the current roster
for 25-26 and bring in some portal help that can actually make a difference. Not predicting that but
at least for me, that would be the ideal situation.
IF CMY finds out next season's money won't be much better than this year, and he says "that's it, I'm
done".
Would Ryan Odum be a viable candidate for the job, would he be on a list for HC or would he decide to stay
at VCU?
If not Odum, any other names of "lesser candidates" pop up?
Again, I hope CMY is given the financial tools to field a mid tier program but it's difficult to see that happening
without an about face in the AD.
Sorry for the length. Something to maybe peruse on a rough evening basketball-wise.

Correct. VT would have to double CMY's salary to get an Odum or similar HC

Most schools would never elevate an assistant after a trainwreck season.

Agree, CMY will retire and Odom won't come to VT. VCU is a better job now.**
