that was my bad! totally unintentional. I think i must have hit it while scrolling. Have corrected the DV with an UV. 🫡
I think we can find a middle ground between being a giant tool and not caring. Pass on both Brown and Pry.
Fire up the flight tracker
I might be more inclined to agree if not for the perception of the players on the field the last two weeks. Did he do some good things, especially in mending fences? Yes. But if the foundation was solid, the entire team wouldn't have been a complete void after the Vandy loss. Just too many inconsistencies on the field for me to trust his foundation.

I'm sure that directive came from the BOV/Sands. They want to control the message and know that Whit would be asked tough questions.
Yes he was polarizing, but also condescending and continually moved the goalposts if his initial argument was proven wrong.
I had several interactions with him like this. We all come here to talk VT football and to have fun. It's not fun when one guy is consistently being an ass and talking to you like you're a child.
I would welcome him back if he learns to interact with other adults like peers and not subordinates.
He is already transitioning for retirement. Don't scare people.

I guess if we don't have the prestige or the money to hire the best we can, we have to try to lure people back with their nostalgic views of the glory days of VT football
I'm not even saying that we need to separate ourselves from the Beamer era. It just feels like anytime any opening comes up, everyone's first instinct is to figure out what former Hokie could fill the role. I get the idea that VT wants to hire people who want to be here, but that list of individuals has to be bigger than just people who have previously been here.
Yea I think this is my point. If we need to go beyond the state of VT to get players, that makes sense. But recruiting the entire nation seems like casting a net far too wide. The only schools that do this are the 12ish bluebloods who have coast to coast name recognition and a bigger NIL pool.
He generally got upvotes from me to counter some of those DV. I agreed with a lot of his comments even if I wouldn't use the same language.

And both DCs as well
Jeff King was one of my favorite players when he played, but at this point, I think we need brand new perspectives and experiences that don't have any ties to the Beamer years or the way things used to be. It's time to move forward and upward and onward and Burt Ward.
Oh my gosh. Yes, I even remember Jeff King with the Pirates. Had forgotten him.
A professional baseball player with Pirates and Royals too.
As another person with a common-name doppelganger, I appreciate his range.
He's also a huge Iditarod champion:
Jeff King (born 1956) is an American musher and sled dog racer. He is generally credited with introducing the sit-down sled which has largely replaced the standing sled traditionally used by distance mushers.
King moved to Alaska in 1975 and began racing in 1976. He won the Yukon Quest in 1989, and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1993, 1996, 1998, and, at age 50, the 2006 Iditarod,[2] making him the oldest musher to have ever won the event, a distinction he held until 2017, when Mitch Seavey won at age 57.
Why is it always have to be a Hokie?
yeah the tone of the posts definitely came across arrogantly - I totally get that
