If we paid 8.75 and Whit offered him to stay through end of season, then -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:09AM
Staying through the end of the season isn't Dec 15th. -- HokieToph 11/16/2021 12:48PM You don't believe we can get to a bowl game? ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 12:53PM As of now, there is no bowl game on the schedule. As of now, the season -- HokieToph 11/16/2021 12:55PM The money is immaterial. The timing is about recruits and getting the -- 97Hokie 11/16/2021 11:28AM Money is immaterial. LOL. ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:31AM Not immaterial. But not the first priority. A cost of doing business ** -- Beerman 11/16/2021 11:37AM I'm guessing last year played into this as well. He took a cut due to Covid -- Hokie1744 11/16/2021 11:20AM Pay a little over a million to avoid a bitter divorce.., -- lawhokie 11/16/2021 11:41AM You think it would have been a bitter divorce? No way. Fuente wants another -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:59AM Yes, Fuente wants another job. -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 12:17PM Merely staying until 12/15 is not a bitter divorce. C'mon man ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 12:36PM In this context, absolutely. They don't have to beat each other and throw -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 12:40PM Right, so Whit lied about it. Which is the entire premise of my initial -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 12:46PM Because he didn't lie. -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 12:49PM The season could potentially go through a Jan. 1 bowl game. We aren't -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 12:55PM You're right, we're not giving him $2.5M -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 1:10PM Hogwash. That would be part of negotiation. Whit would tell him what he was -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 1:34PM Of course they agreed on a statement. -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 1:46PM So you're now asking Whit to negotiate on a hypothetical date? -- HokieToph 11/16/2021 12:59PM I would have thought so too. Seems you could tell him he is gone 12/15 and -- JACHokies 11/16/2021 11:16AM You don't want a lame duck coach in charge of keeping your current -- HokieToph 11/16/2021 12:49PM New math ** -- UberHOKIE 11/16/2021 11:11AM This is a dog and pony show ** -- Tombo 11/16/2021 11:11AM Classic definition of one. Whit isn’t an idiot -- AirForceHokie77 11/16/2021 11:20AM Plus the state jobs hiring requirement ** -- Tombo 11/16/2021 11:21AM The compromise helps both parties -- One4VT 11/16/2021 11:10AM Doesn't change the analysis. If we are helping Fuente at all by letting him -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:11AM You want Fuente in charge of keeping the recruiting class intact? -- HokieToph 11/16/2021 12:54PM From Fuente’s perspective, if there is value to VT… -- lawhokie 11/16/2021 11:24AM But the suggestion is that Fuente also wanted out early. You are ignoring -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:25AM If Fuente did not want out early, he’d have gotten ten -- lawhokie 11/16/2021 11:28AM Yes but your "if" is contrary to the narrative. ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:30AM I don’t think you see this through Fuente’s eyes -- lawhokie 11/16/2021 11:39AM Thus my conclusion that Whit is lying about offering to have him stay -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:44AM Why would he lie about something so easily refuted by the other party? -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 11:59AM It would have been unusual for this to end any other way** -- lawhokie 11/16/2021 2:43PM Thanks, I will ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 12:07PM Narration; the art of storytelling. Stop being dense. ** -- IronBlood 11/16/2021 11:34AM Stop being a jerk. ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:35AM Unless making the job publicly available has value of its own -- Beerman 11/16/2021 11:15AM Treat them right? That's what contract terms are for. This isn't a charity. ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:17AM Ah, but the press conference IS just a show -- Beerman 11/16/2021 11:20AM ??? What's your point? Of course the PC is a show. The $$$ isn't. ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:23AM Right. So why are you connecting his explanation with the $$$? ** -- Beerman 11/16/2021 11:24AM So you don't think Fuente wanted out now? ** -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:27AM I don't know the details. Neither do you. -- Beerman 11/16/2021 11:29AM No, I'm not. It's one of two scenarios as I pointed out. Seems like -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:33AM Mod seems to have problems with Whits statements about why -- One4VT 11/16/2021 11:17AM No, that's my point. If both parties benefited, at most you would just -- ModerateHokie 11/16/2021 11:24AM If you are correct this is BS -- VT ChemE 1986 11/16/2021 11:14AM He is not showing well here - seems like he doesn't give a crap ** -- EmpireHokie 11/16/2021 11:17AM
