Any chance Chester Frazier will be our coach when Mike retires?

The Virginia Tech job shouldnt be someone's first job
In (at least) the last 40 years, VT has hired exactly one first time HC ...James Johnson

Not quite right. Frankie Allen's first head coaching
position was at VT from 1987-1991. You were close at 38 years, and on point because after some success, the program faltered under Frankie..

Wasn't Stokes a 1st time HC, too? Just to further prove your point . . .

If im not mistaken he came from East Carolina...
Or maybe he went to East Carolina after leaving VT

It is working out ok for Scheyer
If it is the right person it would be ok. Johnson was a lazy hire

Um VT isn't exactly Duke. I think it is a helluva lot easier to be
a first time head coach at Duke than VT, due to its inherent advantages. Not sure we can compare Scheyer and Frazier either. Little different history if I am not mistaken.

Jay Bilas told me he thought Johnson would be fine. Oops.

There's *something* different about the Duke job and VT job
