I decline to answer. I will continue to hope UVa wins every game and continues to be good in the medium and long term.

I donāt see these odds actually bettable anywhere. I was going to dump a lot on the field at those odds. Only reference for them is from a sketchy article on October 18, right after the announcement. I assume those odds were for the immediate aftermath/interim odds and arenāt very relevant now.

have to be crazy but to take anything but the field. Especially if Ryan Odom wants the job as bad as the rumors suggest.

i would gladly take odom to
Yeahā¦ seems like a quick reaction odds put upā¦ but not by any betting services.
Give me odds that Ron (or Jay) are named head coach during this season and way before March
Thereās rumors that he actually wants the job? Iāve only heard speculation that we may look at him, havenāt heard anything about mutual interest.
At this point Jay getting the nod would be kind ofā¦ strange? Idk just seems like it wouldnāt happen to me. Would love him to get the opportunity if it presented itself but I kind of think this is continuation of CTB ways or notā¦

Fresh you seem confident one of those guys get the job. I know you donāt know anything from within the program so are you thinking we have a pretty good season or that we are just not in a great position to make another hire. Just curious. Villanova gave me hope but I need to see more to get the warm and fuzzies about this team.

I voted for JWilly for obvious reasons. But it would be unusual.

JWilly is not getting a shot IMO if it doesnāt work out for Ron. The only internal option is Ron at this point. And I am cautiously optimistic based on how I see him managing the subs and the gameplan.

He canāt recruit and doesnāt have a record or developing big men. If anything heās been disappointing.

If we go 2-0 this week, itās the Ronchez Era
1-1, cautiously optimistic to see how the season goes
0-2, gonna need to see that ACC win streak in January/February to have a shot to sway over the important @Hooandtrue vote.

Yeah, I say this not at all negatively, but what would be the argument for hiring JWilly? Heās been here a long time and is well liked? That is great, but we are a top level P5 team. Thereād need to be more (e.g. well established reputation as a great recruiter, great schemer, great talent developer, etc).

What rumors?
I just think it makes sense. Say if Ron was still at Charlotte and doing good he would be on the list as an āoutsiderā anyway. Aside from seeing no real home runs that we could hire I think it would be very strong move to stay with what we have in the TB lineage
I think the season is gonna be challenging however BUT I like this group of players AND staff much more than I anticipated pre season
Hire Ron (or Jay)!

Well that is technically an argument, ha.
Iāve been extremely underwhelmed since the 4-13 upset in 2021. A national championship program recruiting at the level we were recruiting and performing in the postseason at the level we were performing? Didnāt love it.
To continue the lineage and get the aforementioned āwarm fuzzies,ā Iād need to see Ronchez as being an upgraded/modernized version of Tony. Tony Bennett 2.0 (probably minus the non-basketball goodness that so many love Tony for.) It looks pretty good so far this season, but it is still extremely early. This weekend will tell us a lot.
Meanwhile, a national search and a program reset would excite me very much. Build a new identity, but with the heft earned from a recent natty? Sounds awesome. Sounds like a lot of fun.
So if Iām voting (Iām not), I would choose to hire from outside.
Nothing against Ron or JWilly, justā¦ a change could be really nice.
Also, Iāve had my fill of slow-paced rockfights on the basketball court and scores in the 50s. I love the fact that weāve had an ethos, I just hate the actual ethos itself.
