True. Whoever is selected, I just hope they're successful at VT.
If the committee makes the wrong hire, VT is going to be looking from the outside during the next conference realignment. The ACC as a whole is in a tough situation. I expect 4-6 teams will be plucked into the SEC and Big10 conferences. Miami, Florida State, Clemson, UNC, and Virginia seem to be the teams most desired at this point for various reasons.

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.**

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?**
