candyman93 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Give Bud Foster a call. He’s the only one I can think of that could revive that mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems very content in retirement. There are other rumors why that might be an issue too, but I do truly think he's just done and content.

MikeT14 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 You have to at least call:Luke Fickell - I don't think he leaves for any current job opening except maybe LSU at the moment. If Penn State opens up I'd say that as well. Realistic "top" options:Billy Napier - I'd say one of the betting favorites. Probably holding out for LSU, but I think LSU might see him as a safety pick if all else fails.Hugh Freeze - I'd hate it, but he's been local and continues to have success on the field. Would be the opposite of the type of person we've seen VT hire though. Sonny Dykes - Probably a lock to either stay at SMU or go to TCU, but I've heard rumblings that Whit is a fan. Jamey Chadwell - Another hot assistant name, but would be very similar to the Fuente hire. Still, has some local ties. Next tier: Jay Norvell - Nevada Bill Clark - UAB Chris Klieman - Kansas State Jason Candle - Toledo Curt Cignetti - JMU Tony Elliot - Clemson OC Brent Venables - Clemson DC "Left" Field: Byron Leftwich, Bill O'Brien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has such a unique system. Dan Mullen might also be an option. His problems at UF wouldn't be quite as significant at VT, especially if y'all didn't let him hire Todd Grantham again lol.
