He is demonstrating willingness to make changes to staff based on sub optimal performance.
SET THE TONE!

# | Bitter: Expect no further updates on coaching search - NDAs have been signed The more time passes, it seems like VT's athletic leadership is on par with Dan Snyder's leadership of the Redskins.
He's just distracted since he's in negotiations to become VT's head coach. /s
Has reportedly fired his defensive coordinator and two defensive position coaches after 1-6 start where defense was allowing almost 35 points per game.
Christian Ellis apparently disagrees.

Because someone else will be willing to pay him more.

Why should he make at the top of the salary range especially as he was fired for underperformance.
He could get sued if he did that. Pretty sure that happened to Bert. But what if he took the median HC ACC salary (~$5m) - that would be defensible in court.
CAN WE PANIC NOW?!

BYE tried to run the Rutgers TE play, but got called for a false start.
Meh, it happened at USC and they have an amazing recruiting classes coming in. Happened at Michigan State too. UNLV. Probably a bunch of other schools too.
I think it's more common than you realize. It's a really easy way to push a player into the portal (not saying that's what happened to Ellis).
The overall process is disjointed as all hell
I get Underpants Gnomes vibes from South Park:
Step 1: massively increase athletics budget
Step 2: …
Step 3: profit (i.e. win CFB national championship)
Oh my God. I remember seeing that commercial when it came out. Would be hilarious if they tried to make something like that today.
good luck I guess. He couldn't find the field on an atrocious defense - not sure if that says more about his inability to compete, or more about our player management. And I'm sure there is room for both to be suspect.
Maybe VT is behind on player payments.
This would absolutely fuck us in the short and long term.
The idea behind it is that they are promised some sort of return on their investment, like a stake or portion of the broadcast monies. What it means for the schools is that they get a chunk of upfront money, and they get less income for some years afterwards. Maybe a good investment for the schools trying to weather the change in CFB right now, but /shrug?
Disney: When you have to make commercials to try to convince people that you really can afford a vacation there, you're too expensive.
He could argue his salary expectations were diminished after his mid season firing in embarrassing fashion. The average ACC coaching salary is about $6MM (without knowing private schools contracts and assuming a median). I think you could easily make the argument that would be a good faith offer.
Assume he needs no permission to do so, either. Also not afraid to buck the norm and chuck 'em quick.
