My sweet summer child, they are going to boat race us

I don't give a shit that King has any background with Frank. Honestly, that was 20 years ago, any connection that was there is probably flimsy at best by now.
What I care about is that he's an alum with NFL front office experience, and for this role we are going to want someone with that exact kind of experience he has, and I am going to guess it'll be much easier to convince him to take the job than someone who is unaffiliated with VT and has watched this from the outside.
So we got screwed in the arrangement by moving this to Charlotte and foregoing all concession, ticket, and parking sales?
This seems like we got bent over to make it happen
Let's hope the product we put on the field is makes us want to show ourselves on a national stage.
"Playing in Charlotte positions Virginia Tech to take advantage of the evolving environment of the sport while showcasing our program on a national stage."
A home and home to a neutral and home is so dumb
Wasn't this game originally scheduled to be played under Bill Dooley?
edit: This game was originally scheduled in 2006 to be played in 2008/2009

I agree which is why i said we need $25m a year budget minimum, but thats not pulling top 25 paid coaches away from their schools. I would assume we have to break $30m to make big waves. Clemson is about $20m with just the HC and on field recruiting coaches. Five of their assistants make over $1m. I'm sure there are assistant coaches like we have that cant recruit and a number of staff. FSU is about $18-19m and increases by at minimum 500k next year for Malzahn.
If we are patching coaches from top programs to do the same role then we are looking at closer to $1m for an assistant coach as they are making $750k+ at the top programs, that is DC money at VT.
I'm absolutely saying we should. Not out of any disdain for Frank. But if there's any inkling of a thought that we'll do anything, down to the smallest detail, a certain way because that's how we/Frank did it when I was here, I'm not for it. Now obviously there's common sense exceptions, but the entire landscape of this industry has changed.
All credit to Frank for doing what he did, but the identity of the VT brand has to move on. Frank was awesome. Frank did downright amazing things to bring national attention to VT. But that was from 1987-2011. It's 2025. We have to stop trying to drag our history into the present and future in hopes that it will return us to the glory we had.

He was a GA for Tennessee for 2 years, the passing game coordinator for SE Missouri State, and the TEs coach for Pacific!

Anyone who suggests Gruden knows absolutely nothing about college football.

1) He is too old.
2) He has too much baggage.
3) He has never done college coaching.

I am pretty sure there will be tickets available.

I just hate how much of a jerk he is.
Gotta give credit where credit is due though, dude definitely knows how to win.
Might be our only win....
Edit - Oops, thought he meant Wofford! That may be our only win!
Not sure why he would come here, unless it was really all about the money (even then, Indiana probably can afford more than we can).
He's got a great gig where I imagine the fan base loves him. He's in the P2 (meaning $ and security). He's not having to rebuild from the ground up.
Unless he just loves Virginia and a challenge, I think this move is highly unlikely.
And yet another game I won't be able to watch because our only local CW station will be showing Judge Judy reruns or some other absurd crap. Way to go WAVY TV.
That gripe aired yet again, this is a good year to miss two games in a row.

Whit looked like he was being held hostage in Beruit.
If my memory serves me, this series with Wisconsin has been a roller coaster... if every part of the roller coaster wasn't fun.
