Arguable that top recruits have always been bought -- under the table...

I'm behind Pry and Bowen, go get win number 2.
HokiePail • 09/12/23 03:44 AM ET
There's literally no excuse available for the offensive performance...
Techsupport • 09/12/23 02:58 PM ET
Agree on run game being a disaster so far. **
HokiePail • 09/12/23 07:52 PM ET
I think it's perfectly reasonable to assess along the way during a rebuild.
TekkNerd • 09/12/23 10:56 AM ET
Agree the running game needs to be fixed...
HokiePail • 09/12/23 07:57 PM ET
Hopefully their coaching abilities catch up with their recruiting abilities
jonnyhawk • 09/12/23 10:55 AM ET
I generally agree with this, and there are some positive trends, however
BuffaloTraceHokie • 09/12/23 10:15 AM ET
Bowen is def not the right fit. I've seen all I need to see out of him.**
earmuffs • 09/12/23 12:41 PM ET
I’m behind Pry. But coordinators are judged differently
HokieAl • 09/12/23 09:17 AM ET
Nonsense. If anything, head coaches handcuff Assts, not other way around.**
marcbvtgm • 09/12/23 01:54 PM ET
11 yards rushing. That is abhorrent, rebuild or no rebuild.**
earmuffs • 09/12/23 09:12 AM ET
They are better than past it looks, I agree. but
MrFantastic! • 09/12/23 09:00 AM ET
We should consider a ‘Re-take’ of the Westfield high QB
HOKIEGOBBLE • 09/12/23 10:58 AM ET
True, a 1-score loss to the defending Big Ten West champs isn't a disaster
Zanderhokie • 09/12/23 08:52 AM ET
Really the disaster is how many players got injured during the game**
Synaesthesia • 09/12/23 12:46 PM ET
it's called a "rebuild" for a reason. it's not an overnight process.**
squarerootofone • 09/12/23 08:52 AM ET
A logical post, I love it. **

Unfortunately, JF made it almost impossible

Pry Time < Prime Time**
Techsupport • 09/13/23 08:32 AM ET
Fuente won 10 games his first year
DownSouthHokieGA • 09/12/23 10:02 AM ET
Not crowning him at all.
WhoDatVT • 09/12/23 07:34 PM ET
Yeah, like the TCU win was a nice upset, but Nebraska's as bad as VT is
Synaesthesia • 09/12/23 12:42 PM ET
VT fans haven't had to come to grips with it taking multiple coach cycles
Synaesthesia • 09/12/23 09:40 AM ET
Mike Elko says hi **
3TechFanz • 09/12/23 09:46 AM ET
Duke has recruited the same or better than VT 2020-2022, on per-player avg
Synaesthesia • 09/12/23 12:38 PM ET
Did Elko hire his inexperienced buddy as OC?
likehokies • 09/12/23 10:45 AM ET
It’s ironic because Whit had it down to Pry and Elko
OrangeHokieFan • 09/12/23 10:45 AM ET
If true, Hokies are truly snake bit! Elko at Tech assuming a similar
TOUGH TURKEY • 09/12/23 01:39 PM ET
Love it. Completely agree. 2nd year in program should not look like this**
stat_hokie • 09/12/23 10:09 AM ET
... and he's on line 1**
Windows NT • 09/12/23 09:53 AM ET
People can continue to blame Fu, but at some point the pendulum flips
ECEHokie2011 • 09/12/23 08:19 AM ET
It takes an AD that will take risks. We don’t have that
OrangeHokieFan • 09/12/23 08:16 AM ET
It’s all about money & our fans don’t contribute enough. The people at the

DurhamHokie • 09/12/23 09:28 PM ET
Nope, it's about better leadership.
Gobbler Guru • 09/12/23 11:58 AM ET
Aren’t we like 3rd in the ACC behind Clemson and FSU?
OrangeHokieFan • 09/12/23 10:47 AM ET
There's never "enough", but a fair/good amount of $$ has been invested and
VT757to276 • 09/12/23 09:36 AM ET
It’s all relative to the competition. **
Hoakie82 • 09/12/23 10:26 AM ET
Never enough. And how much did sands spend on the study to change VT logo?**
3TechFanz • 09/12/23 09:58 AM ET
Agree, this is a multiyear rebuild
Hokie1992 • 09/12/23 07:06 AM ET
Yes, but for how long?
HokieKoch • 09/12/23 06:45 AM ET
They did not start at the bottom.**
Jeffroww • 09/12/23 06:30 AM ET
The OL clearly started at the bottom
Hokie1992 • 09/12/23 07:30 AM ET
Gallo is a TE
OrangeHokieFan • 09/12/23 08:29 AM ET
Yes, Gallo is a TE
Hokie1992 • 09/12/23 08:35 AM ET
With you but they need to start showing results as the hot seat
gobbler1955 • 09/12/23 04:37 AM ET
There is no hot seat. You got the funds for all the buyouts???
fordham • 09/12/23 10:08 AM ET
The question is what pry and staff do now
Hokie1992 • 09/12/23 08:29 AM ET
If VT's running game doesn't rush for 1,000 yards this season...
EDGEMAN • 09/12/23 08:47 AM ET
Of course as an offset we could throw for 6000 yards. :)
likehokies • 09/12/23 12:12 PM ET
That’s up to Brooks, crook and Bowen
Hokie1992 • 09/12/23 09:02 AM ET
rush for 22 yd this wkend is 100% improvement.**
Windows NT • 09/12/23 12:30 PM ET
At some point Tuten will find a seam and the rushing numbers explode
