What we need in a head coach is probably going to depend on what the football front office looks like and who ends up in there. Recruiting may not be as important for a head coach going forward if the front office is finding and signing the players (yes I chose those words specifically).
We need to change our perception of college football, find talent evaluators and recruiters for the front office and find an X's and O's guy for the head whistle who can also motivate the players.
I also think the structure is going to be in place before the end of the season, maybe not with all the front office positions filled, but they will be identified.

Dwight Vick is tweeting that he would be interested in some kind of role with the program. I wouldn't hate it
That guy was DC without the redeeming qualities. And I'll....I'll just leave it at that.
It was only in the last few years he started occasionally admitting when he was wrong. Which made it all the more frustrating when he would still right-margin a thread with goalpoast moving, haha.
His wheelhouse would be player development (aka be a big brother), recruiting, fundraising and maybe as an offensive analyst.
Quite literally nothing else, lol.
Dead cat bounce
I was one of the people saying that DC's overall argument was usually right, but the points that he would use to make that argument were often wrong or nonsensical and he would move the goalposts.
His turkey legs had started going up before that, he was early on the Fuente hate train, and as the Fuente era slowly came to a close DC started gaining followers and more upvotes.

Very little ROI in that some times. But there are aways to keep in touch with coaching camps, but going to the schools cost a lot for little gain. Pry went and saw EVERY ONE and that didn't really help one bit.
Yeah, he wasn't the only one...
Look how many posts we've already got on potential new coach candidates, and just think....we've likely got like 4 more months to speculate
I think it's less the conference and more the salary and resources. If Indiana was Indiana in 2019 we could 100% steal their coach. But Cignetti fired up their big boosters and fundraising arm, they have money and they're all aligned. He won't leave unless it's for a ton of money at a better situation
I resemble that remark , lol...(though still a ways til retirement .
If we need to go beyond the state of VT to get players,...
Are you talking about Quebec? Montreal?
😉
There's others on here that do the same...
I think it's classic coachspeak - he's got to find a way to motivate the team over the next 9 games and things could get dicey. You don't motivate anyone by trashing the current circumstances.
Put another way - there is no benefit to him being brutally honest other than fans want to hear it.
As a head coach, totally agree. But as a fun thought experiment, what level of responsibility would you be willing to give him? If he was on staff in any capacity it would still generate some buzz. Analyst? QB coach? Co-OC with someone experienced? And I guess we could open this to other players you'd be happier to see on the sidelines next fall
There's no way we go back to the Memphis well

The issue with DC was never what he said
I mean, I mostly agree with your larger point but sometimes it was what he said.
As an example, I have a pretty good idea of his political leanings based on stuff he said. I shouldn't know that.
The issue with DC was never what he said, it was always how he said it. But yea wish he was still here to rub it in my face. I know a few of y'all are friends with him IRL, y'all should bug him to come back.

We need to pump a truck ton of cash into our program. Put the word on the street that VT is dropping loads all over the place. Put forth such a number that everyone will know VT is serious. We do this and I think just about any candidate will consider us an option. In today's landscape money talks and bullshit walks. At this moment in time, it's all about the Dough Rae Me.
