JF carries an impressive resume and high profile. I get the initial excitement and potential surge in donations (which VT will need) if he’s hired. But when the raging hormones die down, it comes down to winning games. JF is a great recruiter, but an average coach in terms of Xs and Os. High school recruiting is not nearly as important in the NIL/Portal era: Let’s say VT pays top dollar for JF AND his staff. Even if they do a great job developing high school recruits, VT will end up losing them to bigger NIL deals and being the de facto farm team for other programs with deeper pockets. VT will get sucked into the never ending arms race which we are not equipped to win. Matches made in heaven don’t come with prices you can’t afford.
