A Call for Patience and Support
vtnrd • 09/07/25 06:32 PM ET
Patience was not firing him LAST year, and SC ain't all that.**
Techsupport • 09/08/25 09:06 AM ET
This is a trend, not an 0-2 against two tough teams**
VAHokie89 • 09/08/25 12:00 AM ET
Have you noticed that he is not upset when we lose? No passion
Jethro Tull • 09/07/25 09:46 PM ET
Been saying that for years. Teams still need the energy from a HC.
Bburg Mac • 09/07/25 11:13 PM ET
Kinda agree. But we got out talented, right? D and O lines got blowed up.
40ozDistrict • 09/07/25 10:39 PM ET
We were outcoached, That where we were out talented. **
Jethro Tull • 09/08/25 08:57 AM ET
Not like any of us here have a choice. Been going to games since the 70s

It's not the loss for me, it's the pathetic showing in the 2nd half**

jesuisvtguy • 09/07/25 08:20 PM ET
All of y’all are dreaming if you think VT will ever be in the steady 9 win
cricket77 • 09/07/25 08:09 PM ET
Heck, I’d take 7-8 wins steady with the occasional 10+ win season
HwoodHokie • 09/07/25 08:35 PM ET
Was hanging with you until you said “next season”**
Omgobbles • 09/07/25 07:55 PM ET
Next season? Go 4-8 or 5-7 and the team will be under new management.**
ancient alien 2018 • 09/07/25 07:53 PM ET
“deserve the chance to make adjustments”…….what?
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 09/07/25 07:42 PM ET
This would have been a good post in 2023 or even 2024. Not so much in 2025.

Much respect for your posture, Sir. I just happen to sharply disagree...

cincyhokie • 09/07/25 09:35 PM ET
Frank inherited a program that had just won the Peach Bowl

Not attacking you, but we get this take every year for the past 15 years

MP4VT2004 • 09/07/25 07:14 PM ET
Margin for error is close to zero. Needs to go 8-2 the rest of the way
HwoodHokie • 09/07/25 07:10 PM ET
If 2 losses required, I’d prefer odu and wofford **
VT757to276 • 09/07/25 07:16 PM ET
If he loses either, he doesn’t make it to game 5 to prove anything **
HwoodHokie • 09/07/25 07:19 PM ET
No need to nuke everyone after 2 games....and that is pretty stupid anyway
HOaKIE • 09/07/25 07:07 PM ET
Is it? At this rate things can get much worse.
Bburg Mac • 09/07/25 07:15 PM ET
I’m sorry but he has had plenty enough time to right the ship in 4 years

GCHokieof91 • 09/07/25 07:00 PM ET
There has been plenty of patience and support for years now.
Bburg Mac • 09/07/25 06:53 PM ET
Sometimes is *how* you lose. I grew up in the 90's and enjoyed the run.
HokieGator • 09/07/25 06:48 PM ET
The second half last game was a really bad way to lose.**
Bburg Mac • 09/07/25 06:55 PM ET
To put it mildly. Check out these second half factoids:
Gobbler Guru • 09/07/25 07:30 PM ET
Honest question...did the team quit in the second half?**
Bburg Mac • 09/07/25 10:49 PM ET
You could almost stomach that if it were Ohio State or LSU who did it.
LonghornHokie • 09/07/25 07:36 PM ET
And we've done that quite often recently. **
