VT doesn't need a coach, we need a promoter

We are already in the danger zone of falling behind financially, being stuck in the ACC, not producing winning teams, and getting buried on crappy tv channels. Hiring a good coach is not enough to save VT. If a change happens, then we need an injection of energy that gets the national media excited. UNC and Colorado understand this and went for ratings. VT is in need of similar excitement.

AirborneHokie96 • 08/22/25 04:46 PM ET
I totally agree, but a promotor isn't enough...
Techsupport • 08/22/25 02:48 PM ET
A promoter who knows how to win? One happens to be available.
KCHokie2 • 08/22/25 08:43 PM ET
Mullin, Fitzgerald, Fisher, Loeffler, Huff, are my top 5**
hokieninsurance • 08/22/25 11:31 AM ET
No one at VT is picking a guy describable as "cleared of the allegations"**
Synaesthesia • 08/22/25 10:29 AM ET
Pry was hired with some allegations of his own

1947Sunbowl • 08/22/25 11:40 AM ET
Sharpe had a drinking problem. That's what pushed him out.**
Atlee Hokie • 08/22/25 04:22 PM ET

kingofcassell • 08/22/25 01:04 PM ET
Eh, if he were good, you would be defending him too.**
BG Hokie • 08/22/25 02:17 PM ET
the dwi makes him relatable

Haha I'm not sure church groups are worthy of praise or models of morality.**
NokieHokie • 08/22/25 03:22 PM ET
You judge all populations by your experience with a few of their members?**
Tombo • 08/23/25 11:47 AM ET
Nope. The immorality of their leaders.**
NokieHokie • 08/23/25 11:51 AM ET
That’s a BROAD brush there **
hokiepro • 08/22/25 05:18 PM ET
You must be new here. **
Stork • 08/22/25 05:59 PM ET
Nah but he calls everyone else out on stuff like that
hokiepro • 08/22/25 08:03 PM ET
Good find it this wasnt disclosed before hiring we can fire him with cause
hokieninsurance • 08/22/25 11:32 AM ET
I'm sure something that is found with a simple Google search wasn't
Pride_and_Joy • 08/22/25 11:59 AM ET
It would hilariously fit our perception of VT if they did miss it though!
BG Hokie • 08/22/25 12:15 PM ET
Why not?**
Pride_and_Joy • 08/22/25 11:06 AM ET
It seems to me the only way Pry gets fired is if Whit gets fired.
Pride_and_Joy • 08/22/25 10:18 AM ET
Agree, just don't think a new staff will be here for only one season...
Techsupport • 08/22/25 04:42 PM ET
If one exists, it'd be VT.**
Atlee Hokie • 08/22/25 04:25 PM ET
Agreed. They are a package deal.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/22/25 11:10 AM ET
We should replace the A.D. first IMHO**
section11hokie • 08/22/25 10:04 AM ET
Likely…let’s just say new AD should take a look **
hokiepro • 08/22/25 11:04 AM ET
+10000**

Imagine a Gruden vs Belichick ACC Championship game
kingofcassell • 08/22/25 11:14 AM ET
TV rating would go thru the roof for that matchup**
Windows NT • 08/22/25 11:21 AM ET
Also pass**
great2bahokie • 08/22/25 10:19 AM ET
pass**
reestuart • 08/22/25 09:23 AM ET
who can afford him or new coach??
1947Sunbowl • 08/22/25 09:20 AM ET
he's not making much now. at 5 mil he'll bite**
Windows NT • 08/22/25 11:22 AM ET
Don't know anything about him, but I know what kind of coach I wanna see...

Femoyer Hokie • 08/22/25 11:38 AM ET
Jon Sumrall - Tulane and Dan Mullen - UNLV could be some of the bigger
BG Hokie • 08/22/25 08:37 AM ET
i'm pulling for Pry but a big fan or Jon Sumrall and think he'll move up
radhokie1 • 08/22/25 10:39 AM ET
The best gig Mullin could get was UNLV? I wouldn't mind him at VT.
TekkNerd • 08/22/25 10:14 AM ET
UNLV says they can only afford first 2 years of his contract. His buyout
reestuart • 08/22/25 10:19 AM ET
He took 4 seasons off to be a talking head. College football moves on
BG Hokie • 08/22/25 10:18 AM ET
Agree with that last sentence
hokiepro • 08/22/25 08:39 AM ET
Mullen would do a one and done at UNLV for the right job. I'm not sure VT
BG Hokie • 08/22/25 08:44 AM ET
Auburn will be looking at him next year.**
