Sure, but look at where the program was when they arrived.
VT made great strides under Greenberg, but the program slid into irrelevance when Weaver inexplicably fired him. Buzz and Chew rebuilt the program from scratch in two years to get to the middle of the ACC.
So while you can make the case that A&M is the better job, I think Buzz and Chew had a decent shot at clawing to the top quarter of the ACC in a relatively short time frame, and maybe Buzz still does. It's all about recruiting and coaching.
It's difficult to compare opportunities, but VT with the right (and committed) coach isn't a bad one. They play some of the best teams in the NCAA. Every year.
The EVP of BMS referred to the game as the "Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol" in the article. Just when I thought this game couldn't get any more American, they sold the rights to the largest chain of truck stops in the country. I will be quoting Ricky Bobby the entire time I'm in Bristol.
Excellent article Brian!...one of the best I have read on here.
I got my tickets and reserved a campsite near the track. This is going to be awesome.
Grant Hill, Allen Iverson, Moses Malone, Alonzo Morning, JR Reid
Are you giving him the Bucky treatment already? Says 6'7
That might be true, but how is his scowl game?
That's one year. And no one in the SEC did anything in the tourney

# | Buzzketball Loses a Coach, Gains a Recruit, Left With More Questions What bad news are you referring to?
This makes me feel like this picture.
That's awesome. If he works and scowls like his brother, we will love him
I just...could...not...read all of this...without skipping ahead.
So what we just got is a 7 foot version of our current totally awesome LeDay, already coached by big bro on how to run the straight and narrow...
In essence, the perfect early Christmas present. I'm good.
Agree, there's a way to deliver bad news and this ain't it.
What it seems to say is that is TAM is committed to taking their program to the next level.
This looks a lot like VT taking Fuentes from Memphis to me. Not judging, just an observation.
But, while I'm at it...How awesome would it be if Buzz decides to do the the "Frank thing"/"Coach K thing" and just settle down and create a freaking monster BBall program? He will make millions at VT, and, OK, maybe a few million more if he moves on....but damn...the chance to become statue type guy, adored by all, with grandchildren (and then some) proudly telling tales...that has a value, I would think...
Buzz...I'm talking to you. Be the ball.
Like you've come to expect from a LeDay, Seth can dunk it as well as his older brother.

I enjoy that his dunks were tracked as a stat.
In all the fawning over A&M and highlighting the advantages of working at A&M instead of VT, I think the author left out a big personal draw for Coach Chew that ultimately was what tilted the scales in A&M's favor.
Coach Kennedy gave Chew his first D1 coaching job at Murray State in 2007. Coach Chew feels a lot of loyalty to him and not just any "better job" would have drawn him away from Blacksburg & Coach Williams.

# | Zach LeDay Announces Brother Seth Will Join Him at Virginia Tech And that is how the maestro does it!
Heck yeah!
If he's got Bucky's size then no doubt he'll switch positions to QB.
