His last 2 years which is when NIL started, he was 4-20.
That is a HUGE concern. I just don't think he's a good fit at this point in time. The 2 previous years 2019/2020, he was 10-11. However, it was Northwestern, and it's extremely difficult to win based on their resources, so we have to take that into account. I just hope the committee gets it right, so I guess we'll see.

I think I still lean toward Pat Fitzgerald. Love the toughness he brings to

In the Nil era, don't think he would be a good hire

Any head coach with track record of winning is on the board IMO

Won't happen. He won't even get an interview.

The courts - and the huge check from Northwestern - say it's a non-issue**

That's a fair criticism. But NW hadn't really kicked in support $$ yet.**

True. Whoever is selected, I just hope they're successful at VT.

He's been out of the game a few years and has a huge curve to catch up on

I like him too, but is he even realistically in the market for VT?**
