Would have been....


a legitimate question if asked differently or if subsequent replies were more than an attempt to try and cover your original tracks. If you really have questions about what a guy is like to work for the handling of direct reports is the relevant metric, you do not reference assistants who leave that are not direct reports. If you are interested in getting real answers, the performance and events surrounding various head coaches departing and subsequent replacement searches is at your finger tips on this website and other Hokie related sites.

You never asked how he was doing. You started out feigning ignorance by asking for details and then subsequently confirmed you had access to a list/information, regardless of how exhaustive. You follow that up with a question about whether the guy is difficult to work for which in reality appears to be little more than an implied statement couched in a question. You ignore several legitimate responses by various posters with information you were supposedly asking for and the follow up questions to more clearly define/discuss the issue. Calling you a troll has nothing to do with disagreeing with your point and everything to do with the way you went about asking the questions and trying to get to your real agenda. Babcock's tenure to date would be termed at least very solid in terms of performance with multiple AD awards, increased fund raising, effective and efficient coaching searches, etc., etc.. Nothing is ever perfect but, in the scheme of things I would expect, and imagine most Hokies would agree, that his personnel decisions/management to date would be pretty far down the list of any potential criticisms. You are entitled to your opinion but, do the board a favor and support that opinion with information you deem useful and relevant instead of a thinly veiled fishing expedition to stir the pot.
