Is to hire a HC in waiting... and impose his mgt & decisions AND public persona as VT football to the public to include Press conferences. If Fu is ok with that arrangement he plays along and gets paid but it won’t look good to any potential future suitors or most people’s ego’s either. The new Co-HC with full authority (except any ‘deals’ he made coming in the door as to who (coaches) do not get let go immediately) would officially ‘rule’. This, for Now
at least eliminates a payout to Fu, as he would continue getting paid, BUT if he left he would get whatever was negotiated up front or now based on this new arrangement. This protects & expands the recruiting reach and comfort levels for recruits as we would be showing stability for the staff. Many here cite recruiting as the #1 problem and issue to repair and most fear gloom and doom for the future if this ain't fixed fast. THIS WOULD solve that issue. My Hunch is we could garner a new person in that regard with a lower than market pay Package that may work... brings me back to Shane Beamer (or WHOMEVER) BUT I think he (or whomever) may Agree to less $s coming in, and we could potentially have our cake and eat it too. Don’t want to turn
This post into yes or no Re Beamer it’s i personally feel he could utilize lots of past experience and would also not let the recruiting slide Continue. Odds are also he would enjoy the Hokies already on staff, to give them an honest shot and frankly what a hell of a recruiting story with safety for the recruits. If Fu were presented with this evolving scenario privately, he may just make his exit more graceful, Timely and also more budget conscious for Tech. On the other hand, he could also be thrust into Actually becoming OC at same pay For a year or So, then gone. This fixes ‘better than today’ where we are and puts a
Cork immediately into recruiting negatives. Another plus for Fu is he has less to worry About (instead making his focus to
Score big and recover much of any shadows now on his resume) and potentially adds some lustre to His ability for The next HC job, unless he just stays at New position with a lesser package.
