1:  Is Seth’s seat hot? Should it be? If so, how hot, and if not, when would it potentially get hot?

Chris Coleman: Seth’s seat is not hot, and unless the program completely collapses, it’s not going to be hot as long as Jim Weaver is the athletics director.

I want to talk about a couple of things here: down seasons and athletic directors.  First, let’s talk about down seasons.  Every team has one.  In Seth’s third year at Tech, the Hokies went 14-16.  A team that featured Zabian Dowdell, Jamon Gordon, Coleman Collins, Deron Washington and A.D. Vassallo did not even qualify for the NIT, and lost a lot of close games late.  That was a much more experienced Tech team than the current one is, with one future NBA player (Dowdell) and another future NBA draftee (Deron).

Florida won back-to-back National Championships a few years back.  How did they follow that up?  With back-to-back NIT’s.  UNC made the NIT two years ago, which is terrible for them.  Point being, everybody has down years.  This is a down year for Virginia Tech.  It happens to everybody at some point.
