After reading Chris Coleman’s article…

My biggest concern may be that Brooks didn’t think he could sustain that level of success AT Virginia Tech because Tech is IN the ACC. Brooks won’t leave Kentucky after 5 years and Buzz won’t leave Texas A&M after 5 years because they ARE IN the SEC… unless they’re fired. So, the problem might be that he thought he peaked at Virginia Tech because of the resources available to the program. So, unless we get in the SEC or B1G I’m afraid any success will be short lived as any great coached or players that come along will jump ship for bigger money.

I agree with much of your first paragraph…but not necessarily the reason.
