VT needs to think bigger than Mullen in their next hire.
HokiePokie95 • 09/24/25 08:14 PM ET

As much as I want Mullen, I think he ends up at Okie St or similar

With big $$$ and an NFL-style GM, VT is plenty attractive

Come on guys, he is not leaving the BIg 10 **
HokiesACC2004 • 09/25/25 06:54 AM ET
