Sure there is also emotion involved because your initial post clearly stated your opinion that VT can never be a consistently elite program that matches or passes the current elites. And one of the best posts below is the one that states the ages of head coaches at several of the blue bloods.

Roy and K probably have 10 years left at most. After that there are no guarantees their next coach will be able to sustain their program levels. There will be plenty of opportunity for others like VT to build elite status over time (just like a UVA).

If you want an objective discussion then you need to be open to new perspectives and learning new information. Even if it means your original stance is shown to be flawed.
