On paper, White seems like he should be a very good hire and do well in

Blacksburg. From a budgetary standpoint, FAU is probably closer to Cincy's budget than VT's budget. It will be interesting to see what vision he has for VT athletics and what percentage of the fan base is willing to buy into that vision. Hopefully things are a lot different than how they were during Babcock's tenure. VT athletics seems poised to turn a corner and get things moving in the right direction. It just needs the right person at the helm.

Good thing he's from Iowa. Boca and Blacksburg winters are slightly
Tombo • 06/22/26 08:07 PM ET
Isn't Zach Mackey from Iowa as well?**

His father was previously Duke AD, brother is currently UT-Knoxville AD

I’ve always known there’s a lot of nepotism w/i coaching, looks like that
Hoakie82 • 06/22/26 06:40 PM ET
I don't agree with that **
HokiesACC2004 • 06/23/26 05:19 AM ET
This isn't nepotism. It's strong damn genes. Home run hire.**
UEMcGill • 06/22/26 08:05 PM ET
I’m not talking about this particular hire or even judging any of the hires
Hoakie82 • 06/23/26 01:16 AM ET
In college athletics, there is definitely an old boy network that is
UEMcGill • 06/23/26 03:27 PM ET
My guess is he’ll be fine but it is a club many are lucky to be born into. **
Hoakie82 • 06/23/26 07:29 PM ET
Does he have a direct relative on staff at VT?
tallahasseehokie • 06/22/26 07:58 PM ET
"brother is currently UT-Knoxville AD" -> VT to SEC confirmed**
Gouker • 06/22/26 06:37 PM ET
No, but home and home with UT all but guaranteed 🤣🤣🤣**
UEMcGill • 06/22/26 08:21 PM ET
Did Tennessee and FAU play each other? Genuinely curious.**
RoanokeHokie1872 • 06/23/26 08:13 AM ET
No, they have never played each other in football and they are currently
VTHokie2000 • 06/23/26 01:14 PM ET
Wouldn’t that be great. Or even a 3 game series, with one neutral site
Hokie`79 • 06/23/26 07:33 AM ET
If only there were a very large neutral field halfway between the two.**
Truthahn • 06/23/26 09:25 AM ET
Yeah, can't think of any place halfway between the two. My mind is running
UEMcGill • 06/23/26 03:29 PM ET
Don’t see it happening- UThug has such a delusional superiority complex
