Our budgets say to hire the best candidate that fits without only focusing

Only local. We’re in the same boat as most schools, hire the best coach possible that is most likely to be successful.

My personal opinion on the Whit Hire..........

Your reasoning is sound, and I think would make sense with an SEC budget.
jonnyhawk • 04/03/24 06:17 PM ET
When Duffy leaves, maybe it will be time for your obsession.**

I trust Whit **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/03/24 05:59 PM ET
Whit hired Fuente, Buzz, and thought Kenny was staying. Whoops.
jonnyhawk • 04/03/24 06:09 PM ET
Those were 3 very good hires.**
NokieHokie • 04/03/24 06:43 PM ET
We don’t need a “Mulkey Junior” in Blacksburg.**

Hokie`79 • 04/03/24 05:39 PM ET
You like Caldwell because she is easy on the eyes:). I agree!**
VTBAMA • 04/03/24 05:30 PM ET
She runs the Grinnell System

Brooks was VA born, bred and educated. How’d that go?**
Va AandM • 04/03/24 05:20 PM ET
Pretty damn good but it's no reason to hire Caldwell.**
MidloHokie • 04/03/24 05:40 PM ET
Agree. Not the defining attribute **
Va AandM • 04/03/24 06:15 PM ET

DGHOKIE • 04/03/24 05:54 PM ET
Very true. Good coaches find best way to win with the talent they have.**
Hokie98 • 04/03/24 06:24 PM ET
Exactly. That approach makes a lot of sense at a place where you can't . .
MidloHokie • 04/03/24 05:42 PM ET
If no one is offering then your coach is not accomplishing much**
tallahasseehokie • 04/03/24 04:58 PM ET
Something is wrong with you or just ignorant. Caldwell is no
VTMONEY94 • 04/03/24 04:56 PM ET
Hope you are proven right. My guess, Duffy gone after 2 seasons.**
jonnyhawk • 04/03/24 04:58 PM ET
Means she did a damn good job here **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/03/24 06:00 PM ET
So, you're not going hire someone because they might be . . .
MidloHokie • 04/03/24 05:44 PM ET
If she is, it means she was wildly successful

Perhaps you were looking for "highly intelligent", "insightful","superior"
