Our only win being UVA would be the funniest outcome. So, if we're going to continue to be dreadful this year, I'd be on board with that.

I think more than 3 wins would be miraculous

I also think that the only way Montgomery could possibly earn the full-time gig as VT HC would be winning the National Championship

Here's what I THINK will happen - the distractions from this week skuttle our chances against Wofford and we lose a tightly contested game on a game winning FG from Wofford as time expires. We get throttled by pretty much every team in the ACC. Then, in November, we play UVA and they come into the game confident because of how bad winless lil VT is and we smack them in the mouth early and end up winning the game to get our only win on the season, sending the outgoing coaches and players out on a high note.

The new coach is announced before December and we have the best transfer portal season in school history, completely remaking our entire roster and go into 2026 expected to finish in the bottom 1/4 of the ACC but come out strong and win 8 games in year 1 under the new coach.

I'd consider, with the roster we have now and the one we are likely to have in the next few days:

1 win = meet expectations
2 wins = good
3 wins = very good
4 wins = excellent

Not sure what is needed to offer him the HC job next year. Probably better than 4. But if he somehow manages to get 6 wins the rest of the way, you certainly have to make him a top candidate.

Shannon is the only actual potential coach on that list. Shane ain't coming home.

EDIT: Shannon might be the only potential, but I want either a proven HC or a up and coming HC with experience. No more coordinators.

both can be true

the players currently on the team deserve our grace, absolutely. Also, this clearly isn't a good fit for them. I hope they land on their feet elsewhere - I doubt many of the players on this current roster will find starting roles in the P4. Kudos to them if they do. I don't think it hurts them or us to get some fresh blood in the program. For better or worse, the players we have on our team now learned how to be losers. Once you learn that, it's harder to learn how to be a winner. We need a coach who will teach their players how to be winners and let him go and bring in players he can mold in that image. That would be easier than breaking the losing habits in the current crop of players..

I still have to argue that metric. Fuente was considered a top hire at the time. Buzz was an amazing hire at the time. Heck Mike Young, and Duffy so far have been good hires.

Yes Fuente failed. He didn't get the recruiting resources he asked for, he had John Ballein by all reports working against him, and he refused to fire Corny. But the man is still a respected coach. He was hired to be a playoff analyst.

Pry failed because he didn't hire experienced coaches to help him. Not because he didn't try.

I don't think Shane ever would, he's just in here by virtue of his last name
