Bummer...we just missed the podium :>(**

That’s generous. I’d say #6 at best but if Oregon St had a conference, #7.

The talking heads on sports radio all disagree with you
fordham 10/15/25 11:30 AM ET
I'd agree the ACC is easier and the fan base is top notch. **

Macro environment factors that were true for Fu and Pry
Hokiefied 10/15/25 12:34 PM ET
Fuente and Pry are not the same, coaching wise.

VT has an unproven plan that is funded on paper but not reality
Hokiefied 10/15/25 01:59 PM ET
I agree the plan may be a paper tiger. Worth looking at as a candidate. **

Temper your expectations & pray VT finds the next Elko or Cignetti
Hokiefied 10/15/25 02:17 PM ET
Both can be true
GoHokies84 10/15/25 01:33 PM ET
Pry was given.....
2hhoop3 10/15/25 01:40 PM ET
Pry definitely performed worse than Fu
Hokiefied 10/15/25 02:10 PM ET
The point is about VT being an attractive option now vs other schools. **

I disagree with UCLA being a better job
GoHokies84 10/15/25 08:39 AM ET
They also have relatively few fans.
Atlee Hokie 10/15/25 02:36 PM ET
UCLA -should- be a better job. It won't be until they care about football.**
reestuart 10/15/25 02:24 PM ET
It's a P2 job. Enough said.**

section11hokie 10/15/25 10:50 AM ET
And ucla is in a very large financial hole currently
fordham 10/15/25 10:19 AM ET
UCLA has no money and no fan base
Happy Dog 10/15/25 10:58 AM ET
Bill Roth didn't think so**

It depends upon what someone is looking for.
