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.

If the pay is in the 50s and the player money is in the 50s

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

If I was CMY I would stay and keep drawing my salary until the end of

He shouldn’t quit. His administration quit on him. Ride it out if I’m him.

Fans should ride it out and stay home too!

Great post! Have to agree with you. I would, however, knowing how

I think MY retires, Odom wouldn’t leave VCU to coach at VT

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

Yep, sadly a recently likely scenario**
Vippie1 01/09/25 07:03 AM ET
Agree, CMY will retire and Odom won't come to VT. VCU is a better job now.**

There will be several ACC job openings after this season & next.
I love VT! 01/09/25 01:04 AM ET
VT should say to CMY, "we are done"

I disagree
Gman12 01/09/25 11:39 AM ET
I agree. I also think that Whit is the one "not suited..." **

He did not put together good staff.
lazarus1 01/09/25 05:51 PM ET
He has proven otherwise
Gman12 01/10/25 09:22 AM ET
I’d rather take the 6 million it would cost to buy out his contract and
NC Hoke 01/09/25 01:37 AM ET
Certainly possible. That's why I asked about possible replacements if
