Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving with family and friends and appreciating all that we have. Although I do wonder about Woodstock's almost cannibal-like reaction here.

All I know is that in Fallout 3 "Andale" is where the cannibals lived.

Had I gone to public school I would have gone to Hayfield. I was just over the line from West Springfield's district. I would not have cared about football, however. It took VT to make me care about football, and then eventually lead me to caring less about football.

Happy Thanksgiving Fam! Regardless of the football hardships, I am still very thankful for this community and the connection it gives me to VT that I would not have otherwise

I played against Abe and Clarence in both NCSL and high school. If I recall correctly Woodson was able to get them transferred in because the school was only one of two in Fairfax county with a planetarium and claiming they wanted to study... Planets?... Was enough to approve the transfers.

The other school that had a planetarium? Mine. TJ. And we didn't accept no transfers.

It's a reasonable question. One thing I think could help is to benchmark our salaries nationally instead of with the conference.

Of course, the problem is much easier if the coaches just win.

I agree but

1 ) They struggle to even get the ball inside to Poteat or Wessler

2) Poteat seems to have basket on the brain so rarely lets the defense collapse in to leave an open shooter.

3) this team struggles passing to open shooters in general. They only had ten assists last night total. Their second half where they played SCar about even they had nine of the ten assists. Only one assist in the first half.

Because the market got reset like 2 months after we hired him, if not even quicker. It was all more competitive at the time. I'm not sure how we're supposed to account for that, anticipatorially overpaying someone is never gonna be a thing VT does.

"I think we may have been brought here under false pretense, as the pardoned turkeys this year were from Minnesota. "

make up your mind. Do we have good talent next year or not?

You're missing the very next sentence, it's good compared to what a first year coach normally has. The roster undoubtedly regressed from this year, but there is still talent there. I have no faith in PRY to improve off 6-6 with next year's roster, but another staff with more experienced coaches? I give them a shot yeah.

I get that Schumann has no hc experience, but that's the new norm on coaching hires, there's not a lot of great options for coaches with hc experience. And if there is they'll go to top programs. Schumann has learned under Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. Pry learned under James Franklin. If you ask me whether I'd rather our program be modeled like a Georgia or Alabama or Penn State I'd take Georgia and Bama by a lot. They get top talent yes but I also believe they get the most out of that talent. Penn State has not a dissimilar level of players and they are never close to the level of the other two. To me it makes sense. No hire is ever a guarantee but I see evidence pointing toward Schumann as likely success and potentially a very high ceiling

This isn't true, resources wise we're 5th in the ACC at worst

Then why is Pry outside the top 50 in pay? Why is he outside the top 9 in the ACC? Our highest paid coordinator is making less than 10 other coaches that we know of just from public schools minus Pitt. Our total assistant pool puts us below NCST, FSU, UNC, Clemson, likely Miami and Pitt.
