It was unfortunate


I think Fu really wanted to be at VT and saw this as a destination, not a stop on the way. I think he wanted to be here 20+ years. But unfortunately, several things made it so it didn't work out. One is that he was the guy following The Guy. but also his personality made it hard for him to communicate to the fan base. This made things go sour when troubles happened. Had he been more open and approachable things maybe would have been different, and relationships with HS coaches and recruits could have been different.

I wanted Fu to succeed but it didn't work out. I am glad we have our new guy, and while I have some concerns about Pry he seems like a good fit for us. I am ready to move on. I hope we have the right mix of keeping with the traditions and keeping Frank involved, balanced with forging a new winning tradition.
