What's this?

Rumor was FB didn't want Weaver to be in place to name his successor.

I have no firm info here but that was the tale that was running around. FB wanted to retire after Weaver was retired out of concern who JW would hire.

You're consistent, if nothing else. ** -- MCL3 Hokie 04/22/2021 1:11PM

We ALL saw the trend had begun under Frankie B. To be fair. ** -- 40ozDistrict 04/22/2021 10:15AM

Program was that way before CFB left, now this board is thanks to you -- soflahokie 04/22/2021 10:13AM

We were also so spoiled to what was really overachievement -- VTCALS72 04/22/2021 09:43AM

How long is it overachievement before it represents a permanent elevation? ** -- NokieHokie 04/22/2021 09:46AM

After 2012, the program under Beamer wasn't over achieving. -- Atlee Hokie 04/22/2021 10:41AM

CFB probably wanted that 30th year at the helm, also ** -- TomTurkey 04/22/2021 4:43PM

Right. So it was our own bad decisions. Not some law of nature... ** -- NokieHokie 04/22/2021 10:51AM

Don't know if that is answerable -- VTCALS72 04/22/2021 09:53AM

You can't measure VT now at 1989 levels. We have P5 conference membership, -- NokieHokie 04/22/2021 09:54AM

IMO, there are Hokies that believe VT football is over without Coach Beamer -- 91HokieBob 04/22/2021 10:14AM

Did you hear the podcast yesterday? They did so much better job explaining -- VTCALS72 04/22/2021 10:11AM

Yes I listened. They admitted it was their own fault for not seeing how far -- NokieHokie 04/22/2021 10:14AM

Until resources catch up and the fanbase supports the level of success ** -- TomTurkey 04/22/2021 09:50AM

So we're still 1989 VT because of that? ** -- NokieHokie 04/22/2021 09:54AM

No, I agree with Atlee that it is 2012ish -- TomTurkey 04/22/2021 12:07PM
