The timing of when he did the extension was definitely bad IMO.

Then again, I prefer to see an AD give a coach 2-3 years first before having any discussions about contract extensions. If the coach leaves for another school, then so be it and move on to the next coach.

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! 🤣😂**

I'd imagine that he's had inquiry...I do think he has some intangible ties

A few overtures have already been extended to Whit over the years. **

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. **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/03/24 06:02 PM ET
For sure, he was lauded as the next up and comer
tallahasseehokie • 04/03/24 04:49 PM ET
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.**

Replacing a HoF legend rarely works out.**
