Tweet has two quote tweets - one from a Hokie fan tagging VT Football saying 'future hometown hero', the other from a Vol fan hoping he goes to Tennessee. Chris Cole liked the quote tweet from the Hokie, but not the Vol.
Edit: it's poop again

I meant more for the season as a whole, not just the ODU game

Fuente slipped Andrea Adelson some of that buyout money to write a piece making it not look like his fault, lol? Maybe he is jockeying to get picked up somewhere this season, next off season
ORrrr
Some power donors have grown tired of Whit, sent some folks Adelson's way...tightened the leash on him
It does, though I didn't see that asked
I'm glad all this came out, thinking more about it. I'm sure changes have been made already, but the administration staff has had at least some of their dirty laundry aired out. Big time donors, if they weren't already aware of this bullshit are aware now....hopefully they've been on the line with Whit all day, letting their expectations for the future of the football program known.
He is also looking for his next job
Well this article didn't do him any favors on that front
Yeah, I mean all the shit rehashing aside, it ends on a hopeful note
Just noting that the article is specifically talking about summer workouts, so weather past August doesn't really matter, in context
At the time, freshman football players on campus for summer workouts were housed in dorms without air conditioning, sometimes three to a room, for up to two months before being moved to their permanent housing for the year.
"There were nights I sweated bullets and couldn't sleep, and I had to be up for practice," one former player said. "You can't preach doing the little things to us, and then y'all got us doing this. It turned into a big deal because I'm not getting good rest or I'm not making weight. It doesn't make sense."
One thing that is being glossed over, that I hope this article puts to bed. Shane wasn't coming here. Shane did not want to come here.
people who did not work for the school but had deep Virginia Tech ties reached out to Shane Beamer to gauge his interest in the Virginia Tech head-coaching job. They said if he wanted to be the head coach at Virginia Tech, they would talk to Babcock on his behalf.
That conversation never happened.
Reads to me people told Shane - "yo, if you want it, we'll talk to Whit and try to make it happen" but Shane declined, since the conversation never happened.
The article points to dorms, apparel deals, dedicated facilities, etc but none of those things went backwards from Beamer to Fuente.
They might not have gone backwards, but they also didn't go forwards, while everyone else did.
Times change. You want to be competitive in recruiting, you gotta offer at least comparable amenities that the big dogs are offering.
No A/C in dorms in the summer for players, coaches running a clothing drive to get gear for the players, stipend checks coming late/delivered to the wrong address, among other things noted in the article.
That is just straight up athletic department ineptitude. That is on Whit.
They shoulda filmed a season of damn Last Chance U at VT
To me, the fact that he declined to comment indicates he will be looking to get back into coaching sooner than later
I didn't realize the trashing of our program was so much more of a three pronged approach of disfunction between Fuente, Whit and Ballein
If I'm reading between the lines correctly, DC feels that Pry & Co failed in the portal so we will fail getting top HS targets as well
