For some......
it was not a denial things were not trending negatively but, rather a belief that one of the greatest assets VT has in terms of attracting coaches and/or players is that the fan base and administration are patient, knowledgeable and look to give the person every benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to succeed or fail on their true ability. VT is unlikely to ever have the most money or a host of other advantages some schools possess and they have to recognize their own strengths.
