Where do I go to collect my winnings for the under at 18 hours? Although maybe I wasnt specific enough and lose on the whit over
We need some one that can recruit though
This was the easy part. The hard part will be gutting the entire AD
Fu as HC and Pry as GM / Chief of Staff / Press Secretary
GTFO, Lea is not leaving his alma mater and the SEC for a middling ACC program with champagne expectations and beer money.
I think a Mullen/Pry combo would be amazing
Haven't read this thread, will get to after this conference ends Tuesday.
I will only be happy if we hire Mullen or Beamer. I'd also be ecstatic if we hired Leipold or Cignetti but I think both those guys are impossible targets. Anyone else runs the same risk as the previous coaches and I won't be sold on them until I see winning seasons.
Please No.
Pry 2.0---can talk the talk, good coordinator, but not a good H.C.
Duke can keep him forever.
I keep wondering if a Fu/Pry combo would've actually worked well maybe. Like someone with the x's and o's + on field coaching + someone who can schmooze boosters, fans and recruits. We definitely didn't appreciate Beamer enough for doing those things for as long as he did even though the end of his tenure wasn't he best
Hey, we got our decision out there into the news cycle before UCLA did, at least!
Can we chalk that up as a win, maybe...?
I would take Manny in a heartbeat if that was possible.
Yeah CC has really been stating that how this has been handled from a leadership perspective amounts to negligence. By Sands not dealing with Whit sooner, we have let this fester and find ourselves in a huge predicament now.
And Mehul has posted some things non paywall on 247 today that state even though Sands appeared to be committed to football, his lack of leadership and decision-making relating to athletics have led us to this point. Sounds like that was the official stance of the administration but Sands has just mismanaged the situation completely with football. Total meltdown of leadership. It sounds like a committee of BOV members might be actively putting all these wheels in motion at this point.
Good man, couldn't get it done. Gets a six million dollar golden parachute, he'll be fine.
Time to overhaul the entire thing. Bring in someone with vision, can fundraise and can recruit. Easier said than done.
Had to happen. The team quit---he was completely lost, ineffective and clueless.
Whit is probably gone 9/30. Hopefully the BOV is starting an Independent coaching search outside of his purview. Best case, the search embarrasses Whit enough to coerce a Resignation.
Let the interim HC get a win next week before what will likely be a long, ugly rest of the season.
Whit Babcock, come on down. You're next.

# | TSL/Chris Coleman Predicting (reporting?) Whit to be fired 
Sure....but the question is not about Pry or Fuente..they are both fired and failed H.C.
The question is (as compared to other candidates)...is Clark Lea #1 on your board??? knowing that Pavia (at some point) won't be eligible to play anymore....
Because then you might be the same person that wanted to hire Gene Chizik without Cam Newton...
Whit doesn't get to make a 3rd football coaching hire in 10 years

Have to imagine that we're getting a long-term interim head coach, especially if you believe that the school is going to make a move on Whit by the end of the month.
Whether you like Chris Coleman or not, I think his recent comments about bungling the whole process this summer are right. By keeping Whit you basically made this season a lame duck year if it was going to go south, and boy did it go south.
Hey, the site finally loaded!
I'm actually pleasantly surprised they're moving as quickly as they are with this. I saw the 9/30 BoV meeting rumor thing, but I figured there was no way they would let this fester for even that long.
If Whit isn't also gone, this will mean nothing. Don't light $6M on fire if you aren't cleaning house.
Jeff Bezos as head bag dropper, Sands tells him we need an extra 100m for the football team and we'll do whatever he wants in NoVA for Amazon.
