If he doesn't bring Grantham with him, agreed. Dude can't and won't recruit with the big dogs, but he is good at finding talented guys that the big dogs pass on. And nobody doubts his offensive brilliance when he's not being lazy. Biggest problems with him are the lazy recruiting, loyalty to underperforming staff, and team playing down to competition.

naptownskinsfan Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Really thought Fuente would be the guy at VT, but it didn’t work that way. Interestingly enough, I also thought Norville would be the right fit for FSU, and that’s proven to be off, at least so far. Maybe there is something about those Memphis coaches.

Texas_OutLaw7 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Shame you guys are getting BOB instead of Mullen. I wonder if his NFL experience will help with recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_OutLaw7 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Oh! Interesting. I’m glad you stayed away from BOB. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Feels like an upside hire but if he can do well in the 757, VT could win the Coastal again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 My quick thoughts: Virginia Tech is hiring Brent Pry, the DC from Penn State, as the next head coach. I didn't hear this guy's name at all until yesterday, but now that stuff is leaking out, it sounds like this has been the plan for days and he's been compiling his staff quickly. This hire may be a disappointment to some VT fans, but we aren't the LSUs and USCs of the world. It almost feels like a comeuppance for not hiring Bud in '16 as well as hiring the antithesis of Fuente. Here's a defensive minded coach who has possibly recruited the DMV area better than ANYONE ACTUALLY IN THE DMV AREA in the last decade (seriously go look at his rivals page). It'll be interesting to see the budget he gets and who he recruits for his staff, and we have time to see how that unfolds, but this seems to nail the Whit Babcock type of VT hire we've seen in the past. I have hope that VT could be back on a path to vie for the Coastal again. The key will be how he rounds out his offense. I'll be curious to hear OC names.

Danger Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I'll just say this. James Franklin's better half is leaving. Don't think he's elite but he's certainly pulling more weight when it comes to what is offered on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd def say the one positive from this, since it's mostly an unknown to us VT people, is that PSU is upset he's gone. I gotta go look into what types of D you ran. Wonder how far it is from Bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
