Do we all agree that CMD was another one of Whit's bad hires?
The devil made me do it ..

Where did this come from? "Can we all agree." To me it isn't even Tic or
troll. If so, given an indication. She finished in the top half of the ACC her first season after losing Strack, Amour, and others to graduation. She finished in the top five of the ACC and made it to the NCAA in her second year. She has made the post-season both years, has shown she can recruit.. This is just such an ..id post ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 7/14/2026, 12:29:26 AM

If you search his posting history, you’ll see he’s just stirring the pot.
Apparently he loves Whit and likes to point out his successes. Guess someone has to do it. As much heat as he takes on the boards.

Thx for the heads up! :)

She's made the postseason every season as a head coach.
And would have made the NCAAs with a pretty high seed during the COVID year, but obviously it got cancelled. She's made the NCAA Tournament three of the last four years, and four of her last six. On paper, she's as good or better hire as Brooks was when he was hired, since he had no Power Conference experience. And she was a better hire than Bonnie, who had no previous head coaching experience at all. So she's either (on paper) the best or second best hire we've ever made. But I can't tell if you're trolling or not.

I like her style of coaching and enthusiasm
She is doing the best she and her coaches can with whatever resources she is given IMO. With the uptick in talent from the past two recruiting cycles I think we will improve on the court. If only someone of means would give directed funding to women's basketball I think we would have a powerhouse.

I assume that the original post was sarcasm
She has been a good hire, in my opinion.

Correct .. a dig @ the Whit haters
U2Hokie U2Hokie
Never hated Whit - just thought he should be fired after 0-2 on HFC's
And I understood you were spoofing, but I did not realize it was regarding Whit haters...interesting play honestly... Whit hired some good/great non-rev / small-rev coaches - Swim SL Miro Softball Pete D Rastlin Robie MBB Buzz maybe a few more - but hanging Coach Fu out to dry and then hiring Pry and letting him hire Marve and Bowen as 1st year coordinators - OMG that was so baaaaaaad! ** Edited by U2Hokie at 7/18/2026, 6:47:03 PM

I would add MY to that list

My jury is still out on CMY - he is a place holder IMHO and hasn't elevated
the program above Buzz and we have sank a bit for sure...it took him a long time to get over his "system" basketball and adapt to the new frontier - again IMHO - but he is a great VT advocate and wont bring shame to VT in any way shape or form... I hope the new VT AD provides him with what he needs to take the next step and VT makes a tourney run!

xADWB had some great hires - but screwed up his moneymaker 2x's back 2 back
Off with his head!

Whit was great with non revenue sports. He was terrible with revenue sports
He elevated track, wrestling, softball, baseball and WBB. Meanwhile, football and MBB went in the crapper.

Whitt delt with the funds he had.
Up until NIL our fans have kept their wallets closed. I think he did a great job.

if you ignore completely his role in (not) elevating fundraising...

Volleyball, tennis, lacrosse & men's golf still have issues
Swimming & women's golf have done well. Track and cross country are in rebuild mode and the jury is still out.

You give too much.....
credit IMO with respect to track and wrestling. With respect to baseball the credit for getting the stadium built is on his ledger.

He did hire Buzz though...winner winner chicken dinner...then hit pause...

Dude, pulling too many Gs… blackout!
Yes, he hired CMD, a good get. He also hired her very successful predecessor, who unfortunately skipped town for bluer pastures Not a big Whit fan, but these were both good pick ups

Yes he did well hiring women basketball coaches

On drugs, that's the reason his plane crashed! Duffy is a GREAT hire! This will be her third year at Tech. Give her the time to build it and they will come. See what she has landed in the past few months. You need to have patience man. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is the WBB program! With what we have coming in this year from HS and the portal and what she has landed for next year, the sky will be the limit. By the way, her new AD graduated from Notre Dame the same year Duffy did. Just because you think it was a bad hire. doesn't mean it is. Whitt made a GREAT hire in this case!!!

You are replying to the wrong poster;I think Duffy was a fantastic hire
