Whit whiffed on multiple coaches

Tried to hire Napier, got outbid. Tried to hire Clawson, got turned down. Tried to hire Lane Kiffin, got told no by the BOV Narrowed it down to Pry and Elko, John Ballein influenced him to pick Pry. Whit also looked at Hugh Freeze briefly before being told absolutely no chance by those around him

Let’s hope we wake up after UVA and Whit & Pry are fired. **

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

Great discussion there Skippy lol**
UberHOKIE • 11/27/24 09:07 PM ET
Following your lead from earlier on my post.
VT-ACC • 11/27/24 11:56 PM ET
Add Ricky stokes and James Johnson to this list **

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
fordham • 11/26/24 01:12 PM ET
Yep. I feel I'm on a opposite world sometimes

House vs NCAA is going to bankrupt a number of D1 programs**
Happy Dog • 11/26/24 02:11 PM ET
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
if we win, then the OC DC will get canned

Pry or Whit don't have it in them - beta boy club**

Bet you're a big fella, aint'cha? **
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

TomTurkey • 11/26/24 12:22 PM ET
I would like to bring in a coach for our LBs.
EDGEMAN • 11/26/24 11:36 AM ET
I am a realist. People are delusional if they think great HC’s

Most of us are awake. It's the ones who could make this happen who are
