Also- I wouldn’t even know who to hire. When Fu was hired I

didn’t know what he was about but soon learned and felt he was a HR hire. How wrong I was (I still think Fu is a good coach but has a LOT to learn). Hopefully he’ll learn about keeping coaches too long, etc.

How in the world does one find a coach that has the intangibles needed to win at VT? There are so many moving parts that you (Whit) have to choose what a candidate has will do and what they don’t possess is okay.

Good coach?
Good motivator?
Good CEO?
Good recruiter?
Good talent evaluator?
Good talent developer?
Good game manager?
Good discipler?
Good leader?
Good mentor?
Good communicator?
Good fund raiser?
Good with pressers? (bottle crinkler)
Good at adjustments?
Good attitude?
Good ???

So many things you need your coach to be- what are the must-haves?

I have no clue.
