Part of that is following a legend. That's tough
The other part was having Bud on his staff. Not saying that was a bad thing (thought it was great), but it was the major part of Frank's program.
What everyone expected was for Fu to come in and tweak the offense to make it more effective; keeping Bud Foster's defense. Unfortunately Fu's Memphis O-coordinator left for another job and we got "plan B." Our offense went down hill, as did our defense. We sucked on the recruiting trail, severing ties with VA high schools while making TX our number 1 recruiting ground. What they didn't realize is the majority of those TX recruits jumped ship as soon as a closer university offered a scholarship. I don't blame them...I blame Fu. That was a stupid focus!
Hopefully all of that is now water under the bridge, so it's time to rebuild the program. I really don't think we're miles away from where we should be with proper coaching and hitting the portal to fill holes. Hopefully recruiting will swing back to VT after so many guys headed out of state to play.
Time to revive: VA2VT
