That's my fear. All these openings are pushing WB to reach for a hire.

It's not a good situation to be in. When you are competing with UF, USC, LSU, OU for the small pool of candidates available, VT gets pushed to the rear. At this point, I would almost say give JC Price a year and see what's available in '22 but that is a huge gamble as well and may possibly affect recruiting negatively in the interim. I hope Whit has his guy and we are wrong as well.

Seems to me Whit might have been outworked -- 4thosehokies 11/28/2021 5:05PM

Not necessarily. Big Fish with big budgets as competitors. ** -- Bburg Mac 11/28/2021 6:07PM

We would not want Napier. His offense sucks ** -- HokieMark88 11/28/2021 5:36PM

They looked just like us. We could have moved to the Sun Belt -- OldRetiredHokie 11/28/2021 5:43PM

Napier and Riley weren't on Tech's radar so why would you think that?? -- MaryWashGrad 11/28/2021 5:29PM

That's way too logical ... but not nearly as much fun! ** -- Hokie PE 11/28/2021 5:38PM

How so? -- PF 11/28/2021 5:22PM

I think Napier had to be on our list. ** -- VT NatChamps 11/28/2021 5:34PM

Napier would have been seen as Fu 2.0 -- PF 11/28/2021 5:36PM

After last year's botched December press conference... -- Stockleybridge 11/28/2021 5:19PM

Scary for Tech, but could be ** -- OldRetiredHokie 11/28/2021 5:39PM

Amen and amen. POTY ** -- VT-ACC 11/28/2021 5:20PM

The big fish minus Campbell are drying up -- 6thStreetHokie 11/28/2021 5:19PM

I think he was all in on Napier and got stung ** -- JoesterVT 11/28/2021 5:18PM

No one has been named somewhere else who I thought was coming here. -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2021 5:15PM

Agree ** -- VictoryTurkey 11/28/2021 5:26PM

Sorry replied under wrong comment. ** -- HokieOkie101 11/28/2021 5:14PM

All the other schools were working on it too. I doubt -- HokiePail 11/28/2021 5:14PM

What if we can't announce the hire since they are coaching in a -- VTStylez9 11/28/2021 5:07PM

I’m thinking this is more than likely the case…. -- VT-ACC 11/28/2021 5:12PM

Here's a list. Let's play which coach -- HokieOkie101 11/28/2021 5:17PM

Based on the above post, you have to name the OCs and DCs of those schools -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2021 5:26PM

Not necessarily. Only 2 coordinators from above teams have ben mentioned. -- HokieOkie101 11/28/2021 5:38PM

That's two. Plus the OC from Georgia. Lanning? ** -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2021 6:00PM

Maybe it's Gattis. -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2021 5:14PM

Would that be a conflict of interest? -- HokieOkie101 11/28/2021 5:20PM

No. Not a conflict of interest. ** -- Exit37 11/28/2021 5:37PM

I don't think so. He was an unpaid mentee. ** -- WarDarnHokie 11/28/2021 5:27PM

If it is Gaddis then… -- VT-ACC 11/28/2021 5:19PM

If he limits his search to P5 HC's he is delusional. -- Maroon Baboon 11/28/2021 5:23PM

Agreed. I think at the outset he said his wishlist…. -- VT-ACC 11/28/2021 5:28PM
