Until I hear more, not going to believe it. He isn't even on their fanbase's radar.

Also, the Fighting Illini colors are too similar to #LOLUVA, I mean come on now, he would laugh every time he saw the uniforms.

Seriously, the University of Illinois? I mean they usually steal our professors, not our coaches. I see a big cultural disconnect between Bud Foster and University of Illinois.

I love and appreciate all that Coach Foster has done at VT, but if he wanted to become an HC, I think he could do better than the University of Illinois. Maybe try for USCe....

If he goes, he goes

We are hiring a new staff. Can't blame him if he's ready to leave. Best of luck to him if it happens, and I'd be happy for him. I'd love the Frank Beamer coaching tree to start getting some legitimate branches.

You can tell Buzz is treating this game as a learning opportunity. Trying out different pressure defenses, utilizing the whole roster, letting guys make mistakes, even calling a timeout at the end there to practice a set play against real competition. You could argue that the score should be more in the Hokies favor but lets be honest, other than the first couple minutes, Tech has never been in jeopardy. Hopefully they continue with a strong second half and head to the tournament this weekend with a little momentum.

Big "what if" scenario: what if Bud does indeed become the Illinois HC (or a HC at any P5 school), and builds their program into a national power. On the flip side, we hire a dud of a coach and our program sinks even more than it is now. How awful would that feel to have a great coach in waiting but not give him the job? Then, to witness his success at another school while our program flounders. That's why I would give our job to bud. On top of that, he's earned the right to be our next coach by helping to build our program. That's something no other coach in the country can say. No one has earned it the way bud has

What's the saying? If you really love something let it go? Bud has done so much for Virginia Tech already, and if he won't get a shot at being head coach here he deserves to have one somewhere.

On the one hand I'm hesitant to put much stock in any coaching rumors (at VT or otherwise) until they're made official by the hiring school. Press conference and all. There have been so many rumors of done deals that my head is spinning.

On the other hand, I suspected there was a pretty darn good chance Bud would be gone after this year.

I also want to point out that the rumor is that he's a candidate. That means relatively nothing.
