You want to remain in the bubble of 1995, world has changed

Vt was ahead in strategy and defense and development than most programs, and guess what other programs have moved on we stayed to what we had. Pry was on that staff, If you see what he is doing, he is rebuilding that culture that slipped away in the waning of Frank tenure and collapsed under Fuente. (the only thing with the VT administration, was they didnt realize at the end of Beamer's tenure that the foundation ws eroding, and thought just a more innovative offense guy and the rest is automatic WRONG. The lesson is never live in the bubble and allow life to evolve and expand and never think things stay the same. If you look at the video, look at the scheme, that is what Tyler is working on VT to run again. You need a good line, good running game to open stuff up and a tough nasty defense. the VT program does not work on 1 year boom 9-3, will not work here, its a rebuild job.

Whit had nothing to do with the gross mismanagement of VT athletics
soflahokie • 05/22/23 11:15 AM ET
I don't really blame Whit. This was almost inevitable...
Techsupport • 05/22/23 09:59 AM ET
100% Agree with all your points *****
GOML • 05/22/23 10:03 PM ET
There was too much complacency during the good times, that's how you get
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 10:02 AM ET
N. O.
Hokies74 • 05/22/23 09:40 AM ET
Whit may deserve some of the blame but the majority of it in my opinion is
Hokie_Forester • 05/21/23 10:56 PM ET
See Jim Weaver-he hurt us a lot more than he helped-more interested in cost
sacramento hokie • 05/22/23 01:36 PM ET
did they really have a hammer to "put down?"
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 12:32 PM ET
The majority of it is on the fanbase support which didn’t meet expectations**
marcbvtgm • 05/22/23 10:46 AM ET
WRONG. It's on the athletic department/hokie club for pathetic outreach...**
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 11:51 AM ET
Shocker. No self-reflection & finger-pointing on a free message board.
marcbvtgm • 05/23/23 11:14 AM ET
Shocker. The reality is the reality, whether on a free or pay message board**
NokieHokie • 05/23/23 11:31 AM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 05/22/23 12:01 PM ET
And that's on Whit.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/22/23 12:35 PM ET
It's a joint epic fail between multiple regimes and positions of leadership**
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 12:56 PM ET
Recently it’s on Whit.
RJHokie • 05/22/23 04:10 PM ET
Recently yes. Plenty of blame on Frank and Weaver too. And the Hokie Club,
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 04:15 PM ET
Yeah. The chit show continues...**
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 12:07 PM ET
No, it's on the athletic department/HC.
Atlee Hokie • 05/22/23 10:58 AM ET
More of that "just happy to be here" ethos**
Techsupport • 05/22/23 10:03 AM ET
It was "You can't be critical of 10 wins, just shut up!" argument non-stop.**
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 10:18 AM ET
Bing-to-tha-MF'ing-O! I have been saying that forever and all I got was
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 09:52 AM ET
Correct. When Whit got to Tech, VT didn't even have a recruiting staff.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 05/22/23 09:50 AM ET
And then they double down......
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 10:03 PM ET
Everything with VT Football has been "10 years behind" the curve.**
AirborneHokie96 • 05/22/23 10:05 AM ET
yep. our issues have their roots circa 2005, not 2015. whit hasn't done
GusDaMan • 05/22/23 09:27 AM ET
What a stupid thing to say about Whit. You are poorly informed. **
NativeBurger • 05/21/23 09:50 PM ET
He’s not the only to have such an opinion.

Pry was a GA for goodness sake.. And J C Price was on that team
VPI63 • 05/22/23 02:42 AM ET
Don't give mercury any credence. **
NokieHokie • 05/22/23 10:01 AM ET
I watched it and my thoughts were that we had people who could play
VTCALS72 • 05/21/23 07:45 PM ET

Mercury • 05/22/23 12:30 AM ET
