Many of us have spread the #ThanksFrank word on social media, and with good reason. Can I suggest that we now start a #ThanksBud campaign? He's also been a HUGE reason for our success.

maybe when he retires or leaves for another position?
Frank leaving is killer but I think when Bud leaves it's going to hit me pretty tough. It's like a parent dealing with empty nest syndrome once all the kids are out of the house.
More like a divorce. Seeing someone you still love with someone else.
Huh... interesting analogy. All my friends who are divorces seem to want to see their significant others burn in the fires of hell for all eternity and would view anyone they are with as the poor suckers who fell for it.
When the time is right
Agree with the other posters here...this is Beamer's time to shine right now. We can show appreciation for Bud at a later, more appropriate time.
Whether he gets the promotion or not, if he's still here in 2017, I'm all about focusing Hokie football on the rock of competence.
Shit, if he leaves, do I have a second favorite team?
I think if he is still here in 2017, he won't be going anywhere if VT is doing well or back to form. He is starting to age out of HC starting timeline, so he would probably just ride out as one of the greatest assistants of all time.
Point taken... But I'd be rooting for Buffalo even if they weren't playing the Cheetahs tonight.
Those man-crushes. They'll get after ya'.
I was thinking about this during the game Saturday. While it was definitely Franks last home game, it might have been Buds too. And he did an awesome job against a UNC offense that has been insane all year.
I said it in another thread, but if LSU or UGA open up, and either school takes a proven P5 coach, the flood gates could open, and Bud may finally get that head coaching opportunity at a school that he can win at. IMO, unless VT offers him HC, he's more and more likely to leave with every job that becomes available.
He may end up somewhere else -- maybe even as a HC. But he won't be the new HC at LSU or UGa...
Lets say LSU hires Strong from Texas or Jimbo from FSU. Where would those schools turn to? Well, FSU would probably go after one of these top minds we keep talking about in Fuente or Herman, and they would get either easily. Texas would probably go after guys like that, if they can't land someone like Saban (who I'm hearing they would make an offer he can't refuse). And if they do get Saban, where does Bama go? Probably to someone like Larry Fedora or Dabo Swinney.
Memphis, Houston, SMU (if Morris goes), UNC, Clemson all open as possible landing grounds for Bud in this kind of scenario. THAT is what he means by the domino effect.

Bud for VT HC!!
League of Legends gif. Nice.
Well supposedly he's a candidate for the Illinois job. IMO this is something we should expect and of course it doesn't mean he'll leave.
