I mean we may lose ground for other reasons (2 .500 seasons in a row, questions surrounding Pry's job security), but i'm not sure about this being the reason, Belichick is 72 and has 0 proof of concept for succeeding at college level. He also carries the baggage of having an 'unfun' culture, which imo is easier to sell to NFL players who are making huge bags in a business vs 16-17 year olds who are still looking to have fun in their college careers. Belichick's image also took a hit with Brady won a superbowl on another team and the Patriots proceeded to suck
IDK I'll believe it when I see it. It's either going to go very well or very poorly. I don't think he's going to be able to keep up with the college landscape for long, if at all.

Fu even did Whit a favor by embarrassing the entire VT community at ODU. That was a disgrace. If Whit fired him that week, named an interim coach- nobody would have batted an eye. Am I making too much of one game? No I am not. Fuente had not won shit. He had no equity and he embarrassed the school as much as ever on a football field. If Whit was serious about winning, he would have sent a message then. The program was out of control, and the talent on the field was so poor and poorly coached that a 3 win ODU beat you. An in state school- it killed recruiting for years. Whit missed a huge opportunity.
I think a lot of people (including Fuente and Whit and fans) thought that VT could just recruit itself and churn out top 20-30 classes.
Yeah and this is the part that i think is very dumb of an athletic director. Yes - CFB changed drastically in the last ten years, but coaches have always had to be able to go in a recruit's living room and talk to him and his parents. That is the bare minimum and Fuente sucked at it and couldn't be bothered to try improving.
indeed
Maybe someone with a brain told Delane... yeah some bullshit magazine blogger guy rated you a certain spot. Do you realize that once Bama's, UGAs, OSU's, LSU's, Oregon's, Penn State's corners declare for the draft, you will be a 6th round pick that projects as a safety? Maybe that's what happened. If it did, they did him a favor.
So we don't have 90% returning production...I predict an undefeated season!
You guys pumped up for Pinstripe Bowl part 2 on January 3rd? Where we trot out tiny, skinny players and walk ons in the beloved Orange and Maroon and look like a high school team? Can't wait to see that on ESPN at 7:30pm.
well, it fits with burn it all into the sun!
Pry is a car salesman who used his "pitch" last year and convinced everyone to come back.
That pitch is not ever going to work again.
Until Whit is gone, this program is going to bottom out due to terrible decisions made by Whit & Pry (with his terrible coordinator, position coach hirings). He was recruiting at a level that was good enough to improve the program if he hired the right coaches around him - and he failed to do that.
Sad state of the program.
Honestly wondering if he didnt get the draft grade he wouldve liked? I saw earlier on someone gave him a day 1 grade so I was expecting him to just declare for the draft...
If that were the case - I think the time to announce it would be yesterday.
1) So we could find someone worth finding before they get hired elsewhere
2) So the players know who it would be so they can try to keep some of them
3) So we can start to lure some portal players over
Don't forget the evaporating defensive secondary
We are such a fucking poverty ass school.
Man Pry isn't a good enough GameDay coach to be getting his ass handed to him in the Portal like this
Not to fear... we are offering guys from Richmond, Utah Tech, etc. to replace them.
Every good returning player we had is gone
Not great
Last one out, please turn out the lights. Sigh.
So are we fucking concerned yet? Or was he "passed on the depth chart"????
Nah, just a sign we're a de-facto mid-major program.
Feels like Georgia Amoore all over again.
Secondary getting raided... maybe a sign of coaching changes 👀 🙏

We better all start, its gonna be a long offseason.....
2 forced fumbles and 7 bass breakups this season
As a bass fishing school this stat hurts.
Wonder what the chances are that he's going to go play with his brother?
