Expect some news on Whit leaving Friday or Monday

I’ve heard he was out 10/9 for a while now from those within the walls. He has already been paid his buyout and severance. They have also been interviewing candidates for his replacement to be the CEO of Athletics. The CEO of Athletics will be the head of the Athletics Committee that was mentioned at the BOV meeting. GM final interviews have been going on this week as well. Jeff King was obviously a name mentioned. All of them are NFL front office guys including candidates from the Buccaneers and Colts. Have a great week

It will be interesting to see the new organizational chart after the purge
RJHokie • 10/02/25 02:15 PM ET
DimWhit is like a guy on death row just waiting for the date to get
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 10/02/25 12:00 PM ET
It is encouraging to see the powers that be finally making decisions

Crowdsourcing decisions is the way to make Hokie Football great again**
Beerman • 10/02/25 12:11 PM ET
Agreed but please don't run to hire people with VT connections
Vippie1 • 10/02/25 12:09 PM ET
Agree, program needs a new, modern, aggressive, cultural mindset. **
Techsupport • 10/03/25 09:41 AM ET
Could not agree more. We need expertise and experience, not home cooking**
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 12:58 PM ET
Personally, I like home cooking **

IB4TECH • 10/02/25 11:13 AM ET
Agreed. It is just encouraging to know that they are grounded
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 11:14 AM ET
Lol, I deleted because I realized that I was being presumptuous. **
IB4TECH • 10/02/25 11:15 AM ET
I would think make that announcement next Sunday just to prevent any
JACHokies • 10/02/25 10:16 AM ET
So there is a CEO of Athletics and GM for football?**
Happy Dog • 10/02/25 08:58 AM ET
Plus an "Assistant CEO of Athletics" and a "GM For Sports Performance" ?

Total AD reboot apparently with entirely new structure**
Happy Dog • 10/02/25 09:47 AM ET
Candidate from the Bucs... is he the current senior consultant there? 🤸‍♂️
Windows NT • 10/02/25 08:56 AM ET
Blasphemy here, but Arians in any more than a peripheral role is a mistake
marcbvtgm • 10/02/25 11:23 AM ET
Maybe Shelton Quarles.**
hokie77 • 10/02/25 10:46 AM ET
Correct **
OGHookie • 10/02/25 04:12 PM ET
Seriously doubt it but I bet he recommended whoever it is
Hokiefied • 10/02/25 10:44 AM ET
It happens in professional sports sometimes.
TekkNerd • 10/02/25 09:25 AM ET
This will keep us on pace to move forward if true.**
