That is a shame, waste of a talented football coach.

My guess is he just doesn't want the pressure of coaching right now and spend time with his kids. I still think he had a great football mind. I know a lot of people disagree with that but in the right situation I think he could be a great head coach again.

Not that they could've known, but VT got their coaches in the wrong order

Agree but not for your reasons. Next HC will mysteriously excel if given $$

Then what's Pry? I don't think our recruiting is really better under him..**

Not better, but the point is that traditional recruiting is less valuable

That’s a pretty cool job. And he can definitely help analyze team strengths

He was a good head coach before coming to Tech. I was not a fan of him

I might agree except he was opposed all the time by Ballien.**

Pry is better than Fuente? I don’t think so**

Somewhat surprised he hasn’t resurfaced as offensive coordinator somewhere **

My guess is he is going to wait until his kids graduate before he moves

Fu swimming upstream against the administration is quite an understatement.

He didn't scam anyone. We paid him to be HC and then paid him not to be
