Justin Fuentes out at VT / Brent Pry in

[Briancuse]

And all the Krispy Kreme donuts you can handle. Lots of cash in Winston (Krispy Kreme, Reynolds, Lowes)

Krispy Kreme is amazing I'll give you that. However the excuses on here for our football program are just amazing.

 

[Briancuse]

It's a huge base of support to build a program like they have, where kids seem to be there forever. Like we used to have when we had a large chunk of our roster from NYS.

What does that even mean? Kids are there forever. NC is more of a college bball and NASCAR state. The bulk of the support for college football goes to UNC and State.

You sit here and crap on Wake - turns out it's in a very affluent community with lots and lots of nearby talent and a school that's extremely sought after with kids right now.

But whatever.

32% of their roster is "local." That's how DC is building that program.

Who's crapping on Wake? Im giving Claussen a ton of credit it's not an easy place to win. If Wake had all of these advantages why have they won next to nothing until now?

Last 15 years they've had an 11 win season, two nine win seasons, three eight win seasons and five more bowl eligible seasons. This stuff isn't all that difficult to find.

yeah, but other than that...

They have been to a total of 15 bowl games. They have had a nice run and most of it is because they found the right coach.

 

[qdawgg]

So did Fuentes get canned or something? Last 100 posts have been about firing Dino.

No he got a contract extension b/c they couldn’t hire anyone better.

Grobe took them to the Orange Bowl.

Anyway I've used my Wake Forest material up for the season.

Grobe did a nice job. All I am saying is there is no reason we can't do what Wake is doing.

I posted somewhere else that in so many words I think we can too.

Oh that’s nice, I was confused

Over the last 5 seasons they’ve also had the best record in the ACC outside of Clemson.

Rumor is Clawson may be going to VT.

Graham: 'Zero chance' Dave Clawson leaves for Virginia Tech - ACCSports.com

Radio host Josh Graham explained why Dave Clawson leaving Wake Forest to fill the vacancy at Virginia Tech is not likely to happen.

Wake has no advantages over us they are I believe the smallest p5 school that plays football. They virtually have no history and it's an extremely difficult school to get into. They found the perfect coach for them. There is no reason we can't be doing what they are.

We had a sampling of what they’re doing in 2018, as for advantages they most certainly do, like the two I put in my comment…

Must say a bit shocked by this hire.....

 

[Bayside44]

Don't get the first impression Hokie Nation is fired up.

Ha, They thought they were getting Kelly , and Riley as OC !!

They thought they were getting Napier (or the guy from Marshall or Bill O'Brien).

 

[HRE Otto IV]

If I didn't hate VA Tech I would feel bad for them.

 

[RF2044]

Hope he fails.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Yuck. Never heard of the guy.

Not a fan of coordinator hires from factory schools. Just me. I am sure there are plenty of successful examples I just don't like them
