ACC is fool's gold. Any ACC wins must be taken with a grain of salt. We can't forget that we got well beaten in the best game the team has played (SCAR), embarrassed by Vandy and then boat-raced on our own field by ODU. Wofford was a nice re-set win but they are an entire step below us for a reason. We never should have even been worried about Wofford - that's the type of game that most P4 teams see on the schedule as an automatic absolute drubbing where the backups get into the game in the 3rd quarter and the starters lose their helmets on the sidelines. That wasn't the case for us (that I know of).
Any wins in the ACC, as great as they will feel, will be against equally terrible teams. The conference is actively fulfilling their prophecy of being a complete pretender of a power football league. I, for one, cannot wait for the ACC to completely crumble. It's a shit league with shit leadership and has been for decades.

I don't disagree, I'd give him an interview though because 4 wins is black magic at this point.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 And none of that happened on the academic side.
So the question is how did we go from supposedly having a plan to make sure we were ahead of the curve in 2020 athletically to only slashing pay athletically and allowing us to fall to the bottom of the pack. How in the hell does that happen. How do you go from trying to prioritize one thing to it being the only thing you actively de-prioritize. I understand COVID, but that impact should have been felt across the board and it wasn't.

I mean legitimately speaking, if/when the funding goes through we can completely throw out what we think the coaching search would be and start over. Having a BoV approved budget that aligns us with the likes of FSU and Clemson and an academic side of the university aligned with needing football to be successful completely changes the game for us and opens up doors that were welded shut even a week ago.

THIS. My goodness, he's won one game versus Wofford. The offense has looked pretty abysmal through most of the first third of the season. Really rooting for Monty this season and hope he can get some wins out of this group and sets himself up for a good opportunity next year somewhere. But everyone associated with this staff should be gone.
4 wins would be incredible given the context. 4 wins would still be abysmal, though. Fire everyone. Let the new GM and the new HC bring in the people they want - no hold-overs for the sake of it.
no - for him to get a look he'd have to win the ACC and make the playoffs
I want EVERYONE gone. Sometimes when you have an infection in the knee you have to cut the whole leg off. You can't keep the "good parts" to a bad leg.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 The athletic department cut positions, reduced salaries across the board, and reduced benefits to the employees during COVID. Some of the benefits have still NOT been restored to the staff that stayed.
Don't forget incredibly boneheaded ways to lose games. Brilliant until the last 2 minutes of a lot of games.
edit: Also inappropriate behavior towards female staffers at Kansas
edit 2: It was students at LSU before he was hired at Kansas, but was cited in his being placed on leave before he and the team came to "a mutual agreement to part ways".
Yes. 4 wins would be incredible this year.
I mean he was a hell of a coach his only deficiencies were pretty basic SEC violations and paying players which was working and is legal now.
So really presumptuous premature question, if Montgomery manages to win 4 more with our current hot mess. Does he get an interview or the job?
So is Florida hiring Freeze or Briles?

He's not really been doing so well as of late.
I thought this was the link to use. That's what I used a lot in the Iditarod thread. Got it from this comment containing instructions, and bookemarked them both.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 I'd love to know what that 2020 plan would have been and why it never came about. If it was solid, I'd also be curious to know what they're doing to make sure they never miss that boat again.
I know we're not in an ideal state now, but if we take what we've learned and don't make those same mistakes again and strive for continuous incremental improvement, we will be better off for it. I feel like we've been spinning our tires for a while the goal should be to never allow ourselves to fall into that rut again.
