Someone who sabotages the head coach by denying/vetoing what he needs
hokiepro • 08/20/23 07:34 AM ET
That is quite an assumption of both action and motive
VTCALS72 • 08/20/23 08:33 PM ET
Didn’t sound like assumptions from staffers who saw it firsthand **
hokiepro • 08/20/23 09:06 PM ET
Saw what?

Ok…heard it then**

Buzz was absolutely a good hire - just because he left doesn't mean he was
VPI_1998 • 08/19/23 03:20 PM ET
True, especially true for Buzz. If Fu had left for greener pasture

Yes but it looked like he didn’t have the money or resources to bring or
SCHokie1103 • 08/19/23 03:34 PM ET
I agree with you as to fairness. The thing is coach and level of program
