Whit’s biggest mistake and toughest situation

Was clearing out the legacy Beamer crowd. It’s tough when CFB walks around the building regularly, but Whit made some mistakes by not confronting the obvious.

VT President Tim Sands turned SIXTY-SEVEN today. He & Whit need to go!

67 is the new 30…**

I resent that! I'll be 80 in a month and my mind works perfectly, and at 67
PhilosopHoo • 03/29/26 10:13 AM ET
Yes, but its a very low bar for Hoo's 🤣**
Hokebury • 03/30/26 03:33 PM ET
My big issue with Sands is that he doesn't care about football.
Flanker • 03/29/26 03:10 PM ET
ok**
HokiesACC2004 • 03/27/26 12:19 PM ET
6 -7 you say?**
TOUGH TURKEY • 03/27/26 08:22 AM ET
Funny! I forgot about that 6-7 fad or whatever that was. I'm Gen X.
Flanker • 03/27/26 09:25 AM ET
You should probably have just had another drink instead of posting idiocy**

You need to lay off the coffee AND the Kool-Aid!**
Flanker • 03/27/26 09:26 AM ET
Not the only job that needs age limits.**
solareye • 03/26/26 09:35 PM ET
Listening to Franklin, he may not have taken the job without Babcock**
capitals1 • 03/26/26 09:10 PM ET
I have a perception that Franklin has helped prolong Babcock's VT tenure.
BG Hokie • 03/27/26 01:16 PM ET
Excuse me thats a bov decision
1947Sunbowl • 03/26/26 07:53 PM ET
Actually Whit has done a fairly solid job hiring Basketball coaches IMHO**
Tuckahokie • 03/26/26 07:33 PM ET
Let me see

Even with the new $$, athletics is <8% of VT's budget. Just sayin'...**

I would argue that the Flutie Effect does not appear on the annual F/S.
Flanker • 03/26/26 07:43 PM ET
agree with much of what you have to say but NOT
lazarus1 • 03/26/26 05:40 PM ET
Incompetant? No. But PSU's D's were as good or better after he left.**
marcbvtgm • 03/26/26 06:26 PM ET
agree on all but Franklin's last year
lazarus1 • 03/26/26 10:26 PM ET
We'll see.
Flanker • 03/26/26 05:56 PM ET
actually he was 'co-D.C.' at Vanderbilt
lazarus1 • 03/26/26 10:23 PM ET
Good catch! He was elevated to co-DC but he wasn't the playcaller.
