Was listening to a sports talk station in Arkansas today. While they make

a living talking about Razorbacks, SEC and whatever topic of the day might be (in that order) they were discussing the Ok State firing and ranking the early season openings. They rank VT as the best opportunity of the current openings....but they expect Arkansas to enter the party at some point this season...Along with their AD. The VT brand might be bigger than the "sky is falling" crowd might think. The kicker is...now get this...they were also whining that Arkansas doesn't have sufficient funding to compete. I drove off the road. Keep in mind that this is the same team that had enough Tyson Chicken money to go get Calipari from Kentucky and fund a NIL budget that will keep him happy.

VT needs to think bigger than Mullen in their next hire.

Agree on thinking big. With a new, pro, GM model, Whit can stay.**

Flashback to 2021 - VT can do better than Elko or Cignetti
Hokiefied • 09/24/25 09:41 PM ET
At the time I wanted Lombardi or Shula but the board shot it down

As much as I want Mullen, I think he ends up at Okie St or similar

Let's hope we are are on the right side of 50/50 for a change **

Just look at the job Elko did at Dook, and compare that to what Pry did @VT

Hokiefied • 09/25/25 05:44 AM ET
What are suggesting here? That the BOV, AD, etc be more humble?
HokiePokie95 • 09/25/25 01:15 PM ET
It’s in part a reflection of the donor base that influences the choice
Hokiefied • 09/25/25 02:55 PM ET
Fuente was an A+ hire that didn't work out. Pry.....I'm not sure how the

With big $$$ and an NFL-style GM, VT is plenty attractive
Happy Dog • 09/25/25 04:48 AM ET
Plus one thing I've notice about their football hires is that they pay at

Offer 5 names that you think we can get that are bigger than Mullen?**
Maroon Baboon • 09/24/25 08:40 PM ET
Cignetti gets my vote but the current JMU coach is interesting too
HokiePokie95 • 09/24/25 09:08 PM ET
Come on guys, he is not leaving the BIg 10 **
HokiesACC2004 • 09/25/25 06:54 AM ET
Not getting Cignetti. No one is leaving a P2 job for VT.
Maroon Baboon • 09/24/25 10:13 PM ET
I’m not so sure. Look back at

Would you say the gap between WVU and UH at the time is on par with the gap
