I think that has always been the biggest question for us, in that are we going to legitimately fund a program to compete or if we would continue being cheap.

I think the biggest question is if the P2 want to expand/what's the threshold where VT makes other schools money?

The other thing I wonder is if the P2 will implement an ACC-like revenue sharing in the next round of realignment, or will the bluebloods leave all together.

Anyways, it's way to early to tell, but I don't expect VT to get promoted to the top level, even with the added investment. As Bill C loves to say, "this sport hates a usurper"

Counterpoint: Monty has no incentive to play for next year, his only motivation is to put the team that has the best chance of winning on the field. If Drones gives Tech the best chance of winning, he will play, and should. At this point, we are what we are.

Even if Drones is the best QB in the room, I also think trying the backup when the starter isn't performing consistently enough can have a motivating effect on everyone. The backup probably practices differently if they believe they have a real chance to play meaningful minutes. The starter might be more prepared if they feel the competition every day at practice.

I would agree except for OL. Need continuity in OL play, and if you get a new OL coach, you're going to lose two of the best three players on the line, as they came in with him.

Keep in mind the timeline here. 2018 was also the first year the Transfer Portal existed. That 2018 class had 7 defensive players, three of them Defensive Ends. Four of the seven transferred out and three of those were after their position coach was fired. The three that remained were all on the two deep by their Junior years.

On this note, I'd also like to skip the "our staff sucks but position coach X is actually good and the new head coach should try to keep him" discourse.

We need a fresh start across the board

I try to defend Drones at times, but when given the choice of keep or hand off he makes the wrong decision 80% of the time. I am not sure if he calls his own number because he doesn't trust the RB's or because he wants to have inflated stats. But our QB has the most rushing carries just about every week.

As for passing, he has no pocket presence on third down. He skips the ball to often and just seems to lock on to somebody and throw into double/triple coverage way to often while somebody else is running completely free.
