It is not uncalled for. I liked the hire. Still say it's an improvement

over Beth and Dennis (but that's a very low threshold). But the nepotism and seeming placid coaching style can (and IMHO should) be called out. This is a very senior laden team, which has grown over the years they've been here. Brooks is doing them a disservice by not actively coaching and helping them have the success they deserve.
Kenny got out coached this afternoon. And this is not an isolated incident.

It is a huge jump but some of his teams at JMU were good enough -- VTBBALL15 01/07/2019 6:29PM

If those JMU teams had to play a complete ACC schedule every year, -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/07/2019 7:21PM

Brooks may not have been ACC ready, but he's due a little more time. ** -- IB4TECH 01/06/2019 10:31PM

Just reciting what happened. Facts be facts. ** -- saret 01/07/2019 09:54AM

So Kevin was solely responsible for hiring Whit????? ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/07/2019 08:28AM

Refs should be made to go into VT lockerroom and explain why -- hokiepro 01/06/2019 6:37PM

I’m sure the films will be critiqued and sent to the ACC for review. -- RJHokie 01/06/2019 6:39PM

And they will just shrug (if not laugh). ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/06/2019 7:17PM
