Oregon has several times more 5* and 4* than IU.

IU has 6 starters from JMU. Cignetti does more with less … just what we need. But hey, we still have Whit and Pry … compare Pry with Bud Foster in his prime. And Whit has been at the helm while the VT football 🏈 program turned into a dumpster fire. And I personally haven’t ever seen anything that was great that ever came out of a committee decision. I’m neutral on this hire because we haven’t snapped the ball and I have been bitten by the hype of the last 2 hires. Some on here will celebrate an eight game win season. Not me … we are spending big boy money … we should do better. Win or lose, I’m a Hokie … since 1959. Got my fingers crossed and I hope I can make it long enough to see next season 🤔

I’ll stir the pot with this post… is Indiana going to be the new Alabama?

Whit could have hired him instead of chasing Pry 🙈**
VPI63 • 01/09/26 09:54 PM ET
Yeah but VT wouldn't have funded the machine like IU.**

I saw a recent comparison about Rivals rating of the teams in the playoff

Do you think that would still be the case if VT had hired Chesney instead
VTHokie2000 • 01/09/26 11:24 PM ET
I think expecting Chesney......
2hhoop3 • 01/09/26 11:34 PM ET
All the more reason that question will be asked at some point if he does
VTHokie2000 • 01/10/26 12:44 AM ET
That is a big IF......
2hhoop3 • 01/10/26 09:34 AM ET
That is my point though because the narrative Hokie fans has been told is
VTHokie2000 • 01/10/26 12:22 PM ET
I think your reasoning is flawed.....

According to an article I found, Indiana started investing in its football

Hiring Pry instead of Cignetti is like the Titanic backing up and hitting

Other than Cuban who are the deep pockets at IU? **
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 09:45 PM ET
Cook family, Eli Lilly millionaires, Simon Family, Ken Nunn, John Cougar

Don't they have the largest alumni base in the country?
VTBen26 • 01/09/26 10:06 PM ET
Yes...including 2 of my kids. Huge alumni base**
AirborneHokie96 • 01/09/26 11:18 PM ET
Always thought it was PSU but looks like IU just passed them. In any event
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 10:57 PM ET
John Cougar Mellencamp?**
KCHokie2 • 01/09/26 09:55 PM ET
Nah - He played for Indiana State**
Tidewater Hillbilly • 01/09/26 10:06 PM ET
He actually enrolled at IU first but hated it and dropped out**
HwoodHokie • 01/09/26 10:59 PM ET
He's found a home....
JRHokie • 01/09/26 09:37 PM ET
Probably**
