They could be dead last in the ACC this year, awful roster. They’ll still beat us by 52 in Blacksburg though

Was going to say, we can’t lose to this team but in Cassell all bets are off

Seeing Lawal on that roster makes me upset.

MY’s best bet is to go young as often as possible. Make a run at a good team in 2025-2026. And hope you can retain them.

Naw. He’ll scrape out a .500 record with a few big ACC wins. That’s enough to satiate the Tech fanbase this season. If they are bad next year, then yeah, def on the hot seat.

They have mortgaged their basketball team to pay for football. Their NIL operation for basketball is essentially non-existent now, none of this is MY’s fault but he may get scapegoated for it. I honestly think they’ve done him pretty dirty.

Plus Whit knows he isn’t getting anyone better. The way they gutted the hoops resources, to include NIL as well as seemingly putting a planned major overhaul of Cassell on the shelf, no top coach wants to come there just to not have the resources to be competitive.

It’s a terrible position for any coach to be in, but if they care so little, institutionally, about the basketball team, then it seems like finding a new coach may not be worth the added time and expense for them? Or maybe the just complete the gutting and hire the cheapest guy that they can find.

For the record, I don’t think they’ll fire him. He’s from the area and really well liked, but Whit is not a very good AD imo, so who knows.

Selling out the rest of the athletic department for a 4-3 football team. They may finish strong but is 8-4 worth it? Absolutely not, especially with all they’re set to lose from the 2-deep.

Just doesn’t make a lot of sense given how solid their basketball and other programs have been lately. But hey, football is king in blacksburg, even though they’re now just an average to below average program.
