Yes as the ceiling looks to be 5 right now and 4 being most likely

And 3 a distinct possibility. If he can keep them respectable while winning 3 games I think he gets a hard look as OC going forward. Just talking about effort and discipline as the balance of the schedule is certainly more talented nearly every week so losses are coming. Get maximum effort. He squeezes 6 wins out of this shammy and I don’t know how you don’t give it to him as it’s certainly a tail event.

EDGEMAN • 09/30/25 05:26 AM ET
43-53 at Tulsa, some good seasons some average
HortHokie • 09/30/25 09:51 AM ET
So, he didn't learn from past experiences?
EDGEMAN • 09/30/25 10:20 AM ET
I'm sure he has learned something from his past experiences but
HortHokie • 09/30/25 02:21 PM ET
Absolutely not. He earns a courtesy interview.

It would be a formality, either he will be HC next year or not

949hokie • 09/29/25 06:47 PM ET

That's where my argument falls apart.**
jrc3rd • 09/29/25 07:15 PM ET
wouldn’t just retaining him as an associate head coach make more sense?
brotherwood • 09/29/25 05:01 PM ET
"Making a bowl game" should not be the standard at VT.

949hokie • 09/29/25 05:14 PM ET
Bigger question is At what point is he considered for HC next year?
VT757to276 • 09/29/25 04:49 PM ET
i think hes done enough *right now* to get an interview somewhere
vtbaz • 09/29/25 06:23 PM ET
