I believe we will get a coach that has had a lot of success prior to VT.

Will he do the same at VT? Only time will tell. Justin Fuente was a home run hire when he was hired. Justin Fuente was a grand slam hire a year after he was hired and had won 10 games and made an ACC Championship with, largely, a roster that couldn't do more than win 6 games with a HOF Head Coach and HOF Defensive Coordinator. Justin Fuente was still a home run hire 2 years after he was hired and won 9 games with a rFR QB that never amounted to much. Justin Fuente was no longer a home run hire 3 years after the press conference after losing to ODU and, later, having an ugly 4 game losing streak in the ACC. It went further down hill from there.... My point is that we should absolutely have a solid hire; a legitimate coach that is a proven winner.

Pay players not coach - that is the best over tying to spend with

BOV has been directly involved this time & likely set criteria for the hire

Yes, we can pay more for a staff. Pry and co. was a cheap hire**

You guys make me laugh. I don’t recall any complaints about Fuente or Pry

It wasn't a cheap hire, we paid market value.**

Are you convinced that Bellicheck will be successful at UNC? **

Not sure why you ask, but he was a trainwreck easy to predict.
