TOUGH TURKEY • 09/29/25 03:35 PM ET
He's too slow- he can't move like he used to**
bigbadbird • 09/29/25 04:09 PM ET
I have heard he is taking it very seriously....wants to come back home**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/29/25 04:03 PM ET
Only 2-3 jobs on Earth that pay 7 figs and are near Pulaski, that's one**

Turk Malloy • 09/29/25 05:15 PM ET
Yep, sometimes coming back home a priority over money.**
hokie77 • 09/29/25 04:37 PM ET

Hokiefied • 09/29/25 03:17 PM ET
Jeff King has a degree in Finance, so that's a plus...**
Hokebury • 09/29/25 02:48 PM ET
Very good, alot has been done behind the scenes.
1947Sunbowl • 09/29/25 02:19 PM ET
Sure sounds great and we all hope this comes to pass sooner than later
SCHokie1103 • 09/29/25 01:41 PM ET
Totally agree and time for WB and Ballein to move on**
DCL • 09/29/25 03:23 PM ET
Ballein needs to be graciously fired**
CPVT3 • 09/29/25 08:19 PM ET
Graciously or expeditiously? 😁**
RJHokie • 09/29/25 08:21 PM ET
He should be treated the same way he treated Diana Clark.**
saret • 09/29/25 10:12 PM ET
and Mike Goforth.. **
AirborneHokie96 • 09/30/25 09:07 AM ET

Atlee Hokie • 09/29/25 08:51 PM ET
Wow, things are moving quickly!**
Hokie PE • 09/29/25 01:32 PM ET

Virginian42 • 09/29/25 01:26 PM ET
Mr. King would be a great choice..
JRHokie • 09/29/25 01:19 PM ET
Can't wait for the inevitable "Way too tied to Beamer" complaints**
Tuckahokie • 09/29/25 02:17 PM ET
Not a knock on King, but it would be the most VT thing ever to hire him**
Happy Dog • 09/29/25 01:43 PM ET
No different than Stanford hiring Luck, except King has front office exp. **
