More important part of that article besides the title snafu:
We are in strong position to get our first pick of candidate.
In the spirit of realism, I'm fine being behind only USC. So who does the interweb say are the top candidates for the USC job? Well, SB Nation LINK has Justin Fuentes second from the bottom and USA Today LINK has him dead last. Safe to say, if you want Justin not to go to USC, then it doesn't look like they are interested in him. I keep seeing Chip Kelly.
SB Nation:
Fuente's stock is soaring, as he's turned Memphis from a perennial doormat into arguably the best team in Tennessee. The Tigers are 5-0 and scoring points by the bushel. The jump from a program like Memphis to USC might be a bit steep, though. USC has gotten its last two coaches from [the guys Pete Carroll didn't want in Seattle / the NFL], and Fuente doesn't fit that mold.
USA Today:
10. Justin Fuente
If USC was going to look at anyone without a long track record as a head coach, this would be the guy. His work at Memphis has been nothing short of miraculous, taking a program that was completely in the dumps and leading it to a 10-3 season in 2014 and a 5-0 start this year. He isn't a flashy guy, but the former TCU offensive coordinator is going to outcoach most people he faces. His offensive schemes are fun, and his track record of developing quarterbacks (Andy Dalton and Paxton Lynch) is impressive.
Though Memphis-to-USC is a monumental jump — maybe too big — it wouldn't be terribly different than Jim McElwain going from Colorado State to Florida. That has worked out pretty well.
UGA may have an opening and would probably be considered a better college university. History, prestige, weak SEC east, fertile recruiting ground, strong alumni/fan base.
Travis Haney, you are a disaster of a journalist. He's been an insider for ESPN college football coverage since 2012 and is a graduate of Tennessee.
hmmmmm
That title gave me heart burn.
I trust in Whit, he's gonna go out and get a great hire. Look at our facilities and the Recruits from VA, we can lure a top tier coach to VT. How bout those Hokies!
Hey...ESPN fixed the title
there we go
49-3
For those of you who don't know what this means, that was the score of the Arizona-Washington game, and yep, AZ got the 3 points. They aren't having a great season LINK. Personally, this is why I'm not the biggest fan of Rich Rod. He's ok, but he didnt do great at michigan, and had just one good year (and counting) at arizona. His 3 great years at WVU were a long time ago
Who is your guy?
Pretty much ANYONE but RR and Golden.
Well, once you do enough research to determine who you want, let us know so we can point his flaws out as well.
There are no perfect candidates.
RR just doesn't have "flaws" he has huge neon signs above him! DONT HIRE ME
Interview both Foster and Justin Fuente, see which one gives the better interview
Hire Fuente, retain Foster.
Dream scenario, right here.
no no no

I would bet that "writer" is from South Carolina or Georgia. Since I have been living down on that area, I have experienced about 1 in 4 local types that don't realize there are two different states.
In their defense VT/WV used to be the same state. So yeah there's that.
Constitutionally speaking, they still should be.
Scholars also question the constitutionality of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
But amendments are part of the Constitution, so they are always constitutional. The process with those three was certainly questionable, but they're certainly more important than the existence of West Virginia.
Not a scholar on the topic but if VA was a part of the confederate states at the time, why would the Constitution of the United States matter to a different country?
Because the US accepted WV in as a state, which still considered the confederate states part of the USA.
And Article Four of the Constitution says
And Virginia never consented.
Interesting. A short article I read by the WV department of culture acknowledges WV was not created with all states in agreement.
When I retire, I'm going back to school and auditing classes. So much to learn
Diverging here. But, as part of the reinstitution of the Union, the South had to agree to the post-civil war amendments. Thus, the Southern state legislatures didn't ratify in a political process as designated by Article V of the Constitution.
During the Civil war, the laws of the Constitution were challenged. In fact, a major basis of the war was the constitutionality of state secession. Thus, the lack of constitutionality in of the formation of WV is pretty much a signature of the time.
These changes were absolutely necessary, especially in hindsight. But, whether they were constitutional, probably not.
Vermont and West Virginia were never one state ;)
YOU GO TO HELL. YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE
This is what I have been saying all the time. All these doubters or VT haters just don't understand. We are not a rural as some make us out to be. VA has great talent. We have great facilities, and play in a weak division of a weak p5 conference. Then we have one of the best fan bases. To me its a no brainer.
Possible wild card...French maybe?
I'd take $120K if they wanted a film consultant.
No doubt you'd be an asset for them!
Please say no to Rod......I'd rather it be Herman
"Who will replace Beamer at West Virginia?"
--------------
If you take this literally, it means "Who will replace Beamer as head coach of VT, and then win at West Virginia?"
My favorite espin messup related to us is still when they switched the Fords around last year.
Here's a crazy thought... Butch Jones. Was Whit's HC at Cincy. Its not a big stretch to say the least. Know nothing about salary. Its been three years, and given UT has not had a breakthrough season yet, could be ripe for the picking.

FTFY.
The hatred for him during the Battle of Bristol would be immeasurable
This is why I don't exactly fall all over myself to read Travis Haney's words.
Who will replace Beamer at Samford? - Harbaugh
