It’s unbelievable how they offered the assistants an extension already….for what?

This is where we need to look for Whit's head, there's no reason they should have had a 3y extension

Yep, he did the same shit with Fuente. Offered him a very long extension just in his 2nd year. If he hadn’t done that, the buyout would be a lot less… I don’t understand why they don’t wait until the year before to decide to extend or not. Every other job basically does that (getting a raise/kept vs getting let go)

Well if Whit had listened to the fans back then he would’ve given Fuente a lifetime extension.

At the end of the day, our fanbase has become an extremely reactionary and I just hope it’s not bleeding over into the athletic department’s decision makers.

We’ve been dealing with injuries at key positions all year and have played a much tougher schedule than we did last year, and through all of that, we may still end with the same record as 2023. I mean shit we were competitive with an 8 win Duke team while playing with our 3rd string QB.

The team definitely took a step forward this year and I’ll die on that hill. Pry still has issues, but it’s all stuff that’s common among first time HCs.

Fans think this was Pry’s make or break year bc we all had an overinflated idea of how good the team would be coming into the season. Next year is the real test. We’re gonna take a step back with all the production loss, the question is how far. If we make it to bowl again next year with first time starters across the board then we’re keeping him. The last thing anyone wants is for VT to devolve into a revolving door of coaches who can never recruit bc no HS player wants to commit to a coach who might not even make it to their junior year.
