2025-26 Coaching Carousel

[FloridaCuse]

Locksley is coming back next year per Thamel. Shocking really. Bad news for us as it might be Fran's next stop.

I wonder if Md can't afford a new coach. Maybe they're waiting for the possible cash infusion of the B1G selling 10% of its media rights to the Univ of California pension system, which Michigan & USC oppose.

I’m pretty sure a big donor for them said they literally couldn’t afford a big coach a couple weeks ago.

Maryland (and Rutgers for that matter) athletics have been a financial wreck for years.

Maryland can't afford to fire Locksley aka they don't have enough money to hire a new one anyway.

Finances for everything in College Park are a disaster area, not just for athletics.

Imagine how bad it would be without B1G $$$?

Are they getting a full share yet? I remember it was supposed to phase in after X number of years.

Whatever it is, it is bigger than the ACC share. A quick scan suggests they are full share now.

I am not a fan of him as a person, but he'll get Va Tech back to being a solid team.

Yeah I don't like this hire as someone that wants VT to be terrible forever

On the bright side, his recruiting was subpar for PSU which basically sold itself. Hopefully he continues that trend and flops at VATech. A permanent 6-6 team is tolerable.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He seems to be stringing them along in case FSU opens up. I would give him a deadline and then move on. They should do what he does if a recruit visits somewhere else, MOVE ON!

 

[PAcuse]

Replacing your former DC after he was fired, you don't see that often.

I’m a little worried about them they got resources.

The guy will hire a good staff and improve the talent there. Good hire for them. The conference just got a little better.

 

[Cusester]

Enter Scam-man.

 

[Archbold44]

He's here to win! No more top 5 teams to play anymore...

Parents of current and future Va Tech female students: encourage them to transfer, that campus just got a lot less safe.
