Not saying it was a trash hire…..I’m just not on board with…..


concept that there wasn’t evidence out there that should have caused hesitation. I’m not convinced that Whit wasn’t more interested in creating the perception of a “smooth transition” than he was about finding the right guy. I give virtually no weight to the fact that ESPN liked the hire. All they noted was the superficial (turning Memphis around). Digging deep might caused Whit to look at the impact of Odom and Dickey. How was Memphis’ recruiting and how is it projected to be different than VT in terms of culture, geography, academics etc? Does the complete lack of P5 experience raise a red flag?I have no idea what Whit did to vet Fu but claiming that “everyone said” as a defense does not in and of itself mean that Whit did a great job with the hire.
