I am a realist. People are delusional if they think great HC’s

Are banging down the door to come here. Never mind the money issue our program like most of the rest of college programs that cannot buy a team will get what we get. It is all about the dollars and nothing else. Great place that college sports has gotten to

Not a finance major, were you?**
Culpeper Hokie • 11/26/24 02:58 PM ET
Do you have $10M+ that you are donating for that?**
hoosnowahokie • 11/26/24 12:54 PM ET
Where Do You Get Figure? TIA**
battmanvt • 11/26/24 12:57 PM ET
He's owed $14.5M in the next 3 years
hoosnowahokie • 11/26/24 01:02 PM ET
And all the other coaches amount to?
fordham • 11/26/24 01:11 PM ET
🤷 That's the bulk of it though.**
hoosnowahokie • 11/26/24 01:20 PM ET
2 years on OC and DC that is another$3.4 million. rest of Staff probably
Jwunderdog • 11/26/24 02:03 PM ET
$5 mil alone is not near enough for a guaranteed winning HC**
fordham • 11/27/24 08:24 AM ET
There's a very clear pattern... hiring a good HC ain't rocket science.
Gobbler Guru • 11/26/24 11:56 AM ET
Well Dooley was a swindler that left us in the muck. He was a negative

If you go back to the PC where Whit discussed his criteria
Technocrat • 11/26/24 12:02 PM ET
Whit whiffed on multiple coaches
OGHookie • 11/26/24 01:09 PM ET
So Shane Beamer and Jamey Chadwell were never even options?
Sunsetunderground • 11/26/24 01:17 PM ET
And what is funny is all those you list are losing with

A good AD won't allow his/her hands to be tied, i.e., continue with Pry if
HoustonHokie • 11/26/24 01:11 PM ET
Lmao. Seriously? Do you know what LSU is paying out each year to not win
UberHOKIE • 11/26/24 01:30 PM ET
Not sure what you're saying. No new AD worth anything will allow an
HoustonHokie • 11/26/24 01:35 PM ET
Well yes they do. That's my point**
UberHOKIE • 11/26/24 01:37 PM ET
Give me an example of a new hire AD being forced to accept an existing
HoustonHokie • 11/26/24 01:43 PM ET
When we fire him this conversation will be pertinent
UberHOKIE • 11/26/24 01:50 PM ET
No coach signs without a contract
fordham • 11/26/24 01:18 PM ET
Not sure you understood my post. I am talking about a NEW AD and the fact
HoustonHokie • 11/26/24 01:37 PM ET
Just Ain't Happening For At Least Another Year....Contracts in Place
vtchem75 • 11/26/24 11:35 AM ET
What's the cash cow for VT
JRHokie • 11/26/24 12:09 PM ET
They aren't going to pay out 10+ million bucks either then
UberHOKIE • 11/26/24 01:34 PM ET
I believe every game was sold out this year for football
hoosnowahokie • 11/26/24 12:56 PM ET
You do understand there is no money tree
fordham • 11/26/24 12:25 PM ET
This is why I want to see VT look to land in a non-NIL league.
MP4VT2004 • 11/26/24 01:05 PM ET
Don’t worry we are close to the whole charade collapsing
fordham • 11/26/24 01:14 PM ET
Agreed. FB is ~ 75-80% of Total Revenue.
vtchem75 • 11/26/24 12:18 PM ET
? You think football makes that much money?
hoosnowahokie • 11/26/24 12:59 PM ET
Really..**
JRHokie • 11/26/24 11:42 AM ET
But how much do we lose in lost revenues? **
Hokie98 • 11/26/24 11:40 AM ET
Not so much as some think IMO**
hokeyhokie • 11/26/24 12:39 PM ET
TBD....But, probably less than buying out 2 or more contracts at this point
vtchem75 • 11/26/24 11:58 AM ET
You are assuming new coaches would turn it around
Casey • 11/26/24 11:55 AM ET
Basketball has been bad minus one magical weekend.**
Hokie98 • 11/26/24 03:37 PM ET

Culpeper Hokie • 11/26/24 02:56 PM ET
lol what? hit a nerve there?**
Technocrat • 11/26/24 03:42 PM ET
I don’t think canning your staff every 3 years is a recipe for success
fordham • 11/26/24 11:27 AM ET
It is when hire coaches that Can't Coach !
JRHokie • 11/26/24 12:23 PM ET
Who are you hiring? Proven winning coach
