Should every ACC school

That finished tied or worse than VTs football team fire their AD? I liked the CJF hire initially and I liked the Pry hire and am still pulling for him. At the same I am coming to the realization that Beamer was a generational level coach and we aren’t going to see that kind of success again in my lifetime. So we might as well just lower our expectations and be happy when we make it to a bowl game.

Whit or buzz as new twerp AD?
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/02/25 12:09 PM ET
Whit’s next gig will be with a group of x school. He’s not p4 material.
CMU Hokie • 04/02/25 03:23 PM ET
Whit would look like a freakin' genius with the right amount of $$.**
marcbvtgm • 04/03/25 11:55 AM ET
No he wouldn't.
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/25 06:56 PM ET
He should do work harder at raising $$$ - that’s a huge part of the job
CMU Hokie • 04/03/25 06:35 PM ET
True, but nobody on earth would be able to get VT competitive $$-wise.
marcbvtgm • 04/05/25 04:34 PM ET
Truth.
RJHokie • 04/03/25 06:38 PM ET
I don't get the constant Whit bashing on TSL boards. It's old.
Scream_On_D • 04/02/25 06:14 PM ET
“CJF was initially a great hire (for one year - ACCCG)” 😂😂😂**
BackInTheBurg • 04/03/25 07:17 PM ET
OK. Explain to me what makes Whit Babcock such an outstanding AD.
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/25 07:13 PM ET
If you run a business, which he does
CMU Hokie • 04/03/25 07:04 AM ET
Should every ACC school ◄
Planner_Hokie • 04/04/25 04:01 PM ET
He does not run a business in most senses of the word
VTCALS72 • 04/03/25 07:10 PM ET
You may have a point here CALS. He get's millions of dollar via govt fuat
saret • 04/03/25 07:37 PM ET
He gets millions but with govt red tape and requirements.**
VTCALS72 • 04/03/25 07:44 PM ET
Is it really underperforming given the resources?
marcbvtgm • 04/03/25 11:56 AM ET
Why hasn't he hired a professional fund raiser then?**
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/25 07:16 PM ET
You tell me. Do you think he's simply unwilling to do so?**
marcbvtgm • 04/05/25 04:35 PM ET
Yes! Otherwise he would have by now.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/05/25 05:09 PM ET
Yes - please see above **
CMU Hokie • 04/03/25 06:40 PM ET
The only issue I have with him is not charging for softball **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/03/25 05:31 AM ET
All $500 they could get for the tiny stadium each game isn't gonna
hoosnowahokie • 04/03/25 02:12 PM ET
Did you do any basic arithmetic before you posted this?
saret • 04/03/25 07:00 PM ET
No I don't. It's called hyperbole
hoosnowahokie • 04/03/25 07:41 PM ET
My apologies. I usually look for an emoji indicator when
saret • 04/03/25 07:52 PM ET
Bashing your AD shows we are qualified for the SEC...next we sell our souls**
hok1eboy • 04/02/25 10:44 PM ET
The question is......
2hhoop3 • 04/02/25 10:55 PM ET
We're only allowed 1 criticism per year. :)**
NokieHokie • 04/02/25 11:25 PM ET
Criticism of mistakes or bad judgment is fair
Hokie1992 • 04/03/25 06:57 AM ET
Wow! Do you only read one board, Read some of the other boards,
saret • 04/03/25 07:05 PM ET
I get it. Not everyone agrees with you WADR. Lol he’s not interested in
SCHokie1103 • 04/02/25 08:51 PM ET
Not charging for softball games is where you're hanging your hat on this?**
marcbvtgm • 04/03/25 12:00 PM ET
do we really know how revenue is channeled at VT?
VTCALS72 • 04/03/25 08:36 AM ET
I have been told SEVERAL TIMES that all tix money goes to a central account

I have it on good authority it would take at least $100,000 to build ...
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/25 07:30 PM ET
I saw Chip's post 🙄**
TomTurkey • 04/03/25 08:07 PM ET
And that good authority is.................................................
saret • 04/03/25 07:39 PM ET
He's a minion of the big guy.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/03/25 07:57 PM ET

saret • 04/03/25 08:13 PM ET
Did somebody tell him........
2hhoop3 • 04/03/25 08:50 PM ET

VTCALS72 • 04/03/25 07:02 PM ET
The latter from what I've read.
TomTurkey • 04/03/25 05:53 PM ET
He does, and has. TT, perhaps we can meet up at a SB game sometime,**
saret • 04/03/25 07:08 PM ET
Chip gets pushback because he raises more money for softball
RJHokie • 04/03/25 06:00 PM ET
They need to keep up or appreciate the load being with him.
TomTurkey • 04/03/25 06:11 PM ET
The money collected by @VTChip gathers via his various endeavors does
saret • 04/03/25 07:14 PM ET
It does, but he’s generating most of the interest in softball
RJHokie • 04/03/25 06:15 PM ET
Then encourage him for goodness sake. No more 4 year old socks.
TomTurkey • 04/03/25 06:27 PM ET
Yeah, but it’s an ego thing too for the Hokie Club. **
RJHokie • 04/03/25 06:29 PM ET
THAT is the .major problem and why VT and other organizations fail
91HokieBob • 04/03/25 08:22 PM ET
Take them on a long walk off a short pier!**
NokieHokie • 04/04/25 12:20 AM ET
Of, course. Maybe primarily. **
TomTurkey • 04/03/25 07:04 PM ET
Amen - but your post is a little too rational.
3Manysons • 04/02/25 07:48 PM ET
Why do these people keep working? Save and retire.**
40ozDistrict • 04/02/25 04:41 PM ET
I don't think Whit is currently in demand for his AD services.**
ChrisLords • 04/02/25 01:54 PM ET
How many ADs are in demand? I would say very few.**
VTCALS72 • 04/03/25 08:48 AM ET
he's not well respected in the ACC community**
