He hired the hottest coaching prospect available in Fuente

When everyone else wanted him. The results have been middling recently —- but very few people were jumping to criticize the hire when it happened.

He also hired a proven winner in buzz Williams who revitalized our bball program. Then he went out and got Mike Young and so far that’s looking like a better hire than buzz.

Babcock’s Olympic sport hired have been mostly positive in my opinion and our directors cup finishes have steadily improved under him.

Finally, Babcock has a cheap fan base that has a poor history of donating that he and the hokie club must convince to change their ways or VT sports will lag further behind as our budgets shrink.

Now he’s not perfect but why has he been so horrible in your mind that he’s worth firing?
