David Teel talked with Whit Babcock about recent extensions for Fuente & Buzz, and he was pretty candid about his philosophy on salaries, buyouts, etc.
Here's the link for those interested:

It's a really good read, and once again, reinforces the notion of how important giving to the Hokie Club is and will be in the future. A couple interesting quotes that stuck out to me:
"I don't know that it's something we can always do," Babcock said, "but when you get the right guys or ladies in the right spots, I think a long-term contract is appropriate. ... Hopefully I pleasantly surprised both of them. Someone taught me this a long time ago: With coaches or administrators, you want to be somewhere you're celebrated, not tolerated."
...
"Even though they are very high salaries," Babcock said, "hopefully in time it will be a pretty wise buy, so to speak. ... It is a stretch of our budget, absolutely. ... (But) this is just where we choose to invest."
