If I was on "Let's Make A Deal" and Monty Hall asked me: Do you want Pat
Fitzgerald, or what's behind Door #3? I am taking Pat Fitzgerald without hesitation. He's proven himself against quality competition as a head coach. I don't even know if he'd be interested. But I think some of these people thinking guys like Shane and Fitzgerald aren't good enough for us right now are delusional. They usually never mention any names, and if they do, they don't consider the cost of landing them. Meanwhile, we are basically on the hook for two buyouts and the media money and politics of conference realignment are trending against us.

Yep. He's proven, still young and probably still hungry. VT could do worse
