He bought a house in Arlington TX with our money

So he could work for TCU for free and repair his image. By far Whits worst hire here during his tenure

jkharman • 02/13/23 11:22 AM ET
I would be dumbfounded if he WAS considered for either program. **
Hokeedokee • 02/15/23 01:34 PM ET
He actually has a good offensive mind

I would be more angry at Fu if VT actually supported the program during

What?! You mean Fu would've rather had a top notch $2 mil a year OC and DC
ChrisLords • 02/14/23 04:57 PM ET
Many here clamor (foolishly) for ex-VT players every time a VT job opens up**
marcbvtgm • 02/14/23 07:22 PM ET
Do you mean to tell me Michael Vick shouldn't get the OC job if it opens?**
reestuart • 02/15/23 08:44 AM ET
Only if he can sign a MV Clone to come in with him!**
HOKIERIT • 02/19/23 10:50 AM ET
Anyone can coach "winging it"**

That’s the Beamer Syndrome…..**
RJHokie • 02/14/23 07:23 PM ET
Crazy talk!!!**
reestuart • 02/14/23 05:18 PM ET
Yeah that's fair. Whit is/was football cheap...
Brewing_Hokie • 02/14/23 03:02 PM ET
Give Whit 1 more chance. Have him fire FU again, and mean it this time! 😉**
No_Limit_Hokie • 02/14/23 07:33 PM ET
Whit got 1 more chance than I would’ve given him :)
Brewing_Hokie • 02/14/23 07:39 PM ET
Wrt football, I believe Whit is definitely on the hot seat.
RJHokie • 02/14/23 08:04 PM ET
If Pry ends up having to go, he had BETTER be holding the door for Whit!-->
HOKIERIT • 02/19/23 10:52 AM ET
Oh for sure. Whit is done if Pry fails
Brewing_Hokie • 02/14/23 08:42 PM ET
Agree, Whit has earned it, and if there is little to no improvement in
FLKEYSHOKIE • 02/14/23 08:26 PM ET
It will be very difficult to NOT improve over last year. **
uber hokie • 02/14/23 08:40 PM ET
I believe it will be more than 2 or 3 years.
RJHokie • 02/14/23 08:33 PM ET
Yeah 2 or 3 years would require solely 2 or 3 win seasons every year.
Brewing_Hokie • 02/14/23 08:44 PM ET
2026 will be the year that matters
Hokie1992 • 02/15/23 05:42 AM ET
We keep pushing out the window for getting good... Why not 2030? As for me>
HOKIERIT • 02/19/23 10:55 AM ET
Which became his money. Because contract and all.**
Pylons • 02/14/23 09:56 AM ET
He is a spokesperson for the Crinkled Bottle Water Company, sales r up :-)**
Stech • 02/13/23 04:00 PM ET
CMY would be there with him. He's not gentle with the bottle either**
N2VT2 • 02/13/23 06:12 PM ET
it's those new bottles you druids make us use **
whatIpostlike • 02/14/23 12:28 PM ET
Just thick enough to hold water. The water bottle obsession got so old. **

BG Hokie • 02/13/23 04:02 PM ET
Proud that VT was funding his TCU work...lol**
EDGEMAN • 02/13/23 03:37 PM ET
Thank Whit - he gave him the extension with ridiculous buyout.
Technocrat • 02/14/23 10:19 AM ET
Fuente's buyout was cheap.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/14/23 11:22 AM ET
Okay, now show the programs with similiar w/l records and cheaper buyouts**
kinghokie • 02/15/23 08:31 AM ET
Right...so, we got a good deal...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/15/23 01:57 PM ET
Your second paragraph says all that needs to be (or can be) said!**
HOKIERIT • 02/19/23 10:57 AM ET
Soo...Whit is a genius..... ;)**
RTFC • 02/16/23 09:26 AM ET
Bingo! Welcome to the real world VT and VT fans!**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/15/23 02:19 PM ET
Think about Auburn. They won 3 more games than VT in the time Fuente was HC
reestuart • 02/15/23 02:04 PM ET
It's not our Daddy's (actually my) VTFB anymore.**
TomTurkey • 02/15/23 01:59 PM ET

st_andrew • 02/14/23 12:14 PM ET
Well, about that, and let me tie it into the Fuente discussion.

Rockfish40 • 02/14/23 12:00 PM ET
We are funding CBP's 3-8 dumpster fire too. How 'bout CTB! He's a gem**
N2VT2 • 02/13/23 06:15 PM ET
At least Coach Pry is working FOR Virginia Tech.**
EDGEMAN • 02/13/23 06:18 PM ET
They had a pretty good season too. Must've been because of Fuente.**
ChrisLords • 02/13/23 02:12 PM ET
You’re not supporting the negative narrative here…**
marcbvtgm • 02/13/23 02:07 PM ET
