For sure, he was lauded as the next up and comer

turns out that he ran into the portal and the job got bigger than his skill set...it happens in all jobs- all industries, change limits everyone eventually.

Wait until Whit gets lured to a SEC school, all those haters from last week

Boy! We could use some good news. I drank my beer. **

Eh, we haven't had an AD everyone liked since Dave Baine.**

He wouldn’t have to hire a mover with all the help he’d get. **

Whit? I’ll be celebrating if that happens! 🤣😂**
ombandit • 04/03/24 05:10 PM ET
I'd imagine that he's had inquiry...I do think he has some intangible ties
VT757to276 • 04/03/24 05:07 PM ET
A few overtures have already been extended to Whit over the years. **
133966Hokie • 04/03/24 06:33 PM ET
Yes, he has had more than one chance to leave.**
mghokie • 04/03/24 06:31 PM ET
he has a way of keeping his negotiations tight and leak free (on his side)

Nobody complained about Fuente when he was hired
HokiesACC2004 • 04/03/24 06:02 PM ET
Whit has made good hires. At the time of the hire, even Fuente was viewed
Hokie`79 • 04/03/24 04:39 PM ET
Pretty much. **

Covid didn’t help either
hokiepro • 04/03/24 05:34 PM ET
Fuente was a post-hire cluster. Almost a perfect storm of events.**
TomTurkey • 04/03/24 04:35 PM ET
Yeah, the initial hire was fine. Extending his contract was bad, IMO.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/03/24 05:06 PM ET
The timing of when he did the extension was definitely bad IMO.

Replacing a HoF legend rarely works out.**
