Lea is clearly a quite good D.C. but without taking most of NMSU, he would be unemployed right now.

But isn't that the sign of a good leader? You're able to effectively identify your shortcomings and the shortcomings of those around you, and bring in the correct people? Fair to say that if Pry or Fuente had done that early/often either could have kept their job for longer?

Yup, they have a win we don't. We're worse.

The interview going into the 4th quarter seemed the same. Just a guy who knows he's waiting for the call into the office.

Let me say that in today's environment the caption is inappropriate. While I concur that Pry should be let go I don't think he is effing garbage. To the contrary I truly believe he is a good person who deeply cares about VT and wants the team to succeed.

Honestly I thought about it, but mine just renewed before the season started when there was actual possible expectations. I skim the posts now but really don't know why I do because it's just 90% pessimism with the occasional joke. There's nothing to be excited about which means there's nothing to want to read about.

My personal Hokie expectations of doing anything great ended before Beamer ever left. Then I had a family and weekends became more valuable than sitting down all day watching college football and waiting for the Hokies to play. Then combine all of that with the fact that College Football as a whole now just downright sucks as a product. Basketball is way more enticing and attainable to me to be excited about. Games are not a huge time commitment and the hope that "all you need to do is make the tourney to make a run" helps keep some of the excitement alive most seasons.

I hope football becomes a force to be reckoned with again but honestly the last 3 seasons, "going to games" was just an excuse to day drink in college bars and much less tailgating and watching the game.

John Love, Donavan Greene and probably John's brother Will that is a current commit

Based on last night's performance, who are we worried about losing?

I think what typically happens is they're left alone to do family stuff, church etc. on Sunday. Monday morning at 7:00am he'll be met at the doors to Merryman and given an hour to clean out his office. At 9:00am Whit will have press conference announcing we have moved on from the Brent Pry era and JC Price will once again be interim head coach while the search to fill the position is happening.

... it's about sending a message to the Tech fans that the administration is trying to fix it.

^^^ This ^^^ Any further delay in fixing a problem that can be seen by everyone is just permanently damaging any remaining trust I have in the university as a whole. If delayed, Pry and Whit isn't enough - we need a total clean-out of the VT leadership, including Sands and the entire BOV.

I know I'll never convince you about process. Your mind is made up. The BOV has specific fiduciary and oversight duties. They are bound by law. A threat to the institution is a VERY different thing than what you're arguing. We all get the importance of football. Several BOV members have said football is the most important priority of the institution. I don't know what else to tell you at this point.

If you don't think that what we are seeing out of football is an institutional threat to the entire athletic department, then that's all I need to know to understand why the BoV has VT positioned the way it does.

Firing people doesn't constitute an emergency. In the event of some legitimate institutional threat, yes, they can convene. This is, from a matter of law, a fiduciary and personnel issue so it is routine business.
