showed his passion for his team (even if he was wrong in what other HC meant by his actions), all in all just makes college football more stupid than before, but I'm glad for any Hokie to have success in life!

His best conference finish is 5-3
His best overall finish is 9-4
He is 1-2 in bowl games
Yes he seems to be recruiting well, but the overall results don't seem worth $8 mil a year. But if that's what they want to spend their money on, good for Shane.

yrs than any coach in SC history. That includes legends like Spurrier and Holtz.

Shane's market worth is 8 mil a year.
I'd imagine Jim Knowles hire by either PSU, Oklahoma or ND will drive up market price for a good DC. I would not be surprised if reason Pry's search is taking so long is # of elite school DC jobs coming open since Marve was let go. There is a domino effect with this. Usually the high turnover is among OCs, just our luck this year it is DCs!

Then Shane will be primed and ready to take the helm at VT, if PRYBO is still struggling.
Take next season, say USC loses the following games....
LSU, Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas A&M, Clemson
and wins the rest.........
He has one more season to beat 7 wins, or he is TOAST.
2024 > 9 wins
2023 > 5 wins
2022 > 8 wins
2021 > 7 wins
His Average is 7.25 wins per season.
Good Luck Shane!!
In todays college football, keeping any team consistent is like trying to catch farts in a windstorm.
Remember folks, any man can fart in a closed room and say he controls the wind.
At some point in life, everyone has gambled on a fart and lost, even Shane.
GO HOKIES!!

Shane doesn't want any part of the VT job. He's smarter than that.
(In response to this post by jonnyhawk)
He has life time financial security with that buyout
They could fire him year two and he would be banking until 2030- huge bank.

Of course, VT would have to want him back and the PRYBO experiment would need to be nearing completion.
(In response to this post by great2bahokie)
He's been to the big city and won't be coming home
Coached all over the country under successful people, has seen what big time football looks like. If he gets fired he won't have to work another day in his life. My guess he would take time off and go in another direction (non compete clause) and maybe come back to coach in a big conference later.

And I don't see him being fired in the next few years at all

Impressed by the job Shane has done in Columbia. I was never a "Shane guy".
By that I mean that I was never advocating for him to come here and be the head coach. And I'm still not.
While there is no guarantee that he would have been as successful here, I give the man credit for what he's done as a first time head coach.
I don't yearn for him to come here, but wish him well when they aren't playing the Hokies or one of my side teams.

Moreover, the expanded CFP benefits programs like South Carolina.
It benefits Virginia Tech, too. We are just too mid right now to take advantage of it.

South Carolina having enough success to get a big raise! South Carolina is a tough place to win relative to their opponents.

if he ever wants a shot at playing in the CFP, winning the ACC is a lot easier than winning the SEC. SC will never win the SEC, will always be middle of the pack in the SEC. Also, Clemson will always be the #1 dog in the state of South Carolina even if SC beats them.

Article states that every SEC head coach makes well over a million a year. WOW!!!

with a $100k increase each year through 2030. $8M puts him middle of the SEC pack.
