Welp


I believe your assessment is certainly one way to look at the current situation;

Regarding:
HC --> Yep. The biggest gamble. Can he become the CEO of a decent size company? Excited to see. Since Babcock's job probably depends upon his success, I am sure quite a bit of thought and research went in to his selection. I consider myself knowledgeable regarding college football, but, having a job and hobbies, I am going to bet he spent more time than me on making this selection.

DC --> His not liking recruiting has been put out there by some and refuted by others. I'm gonna trust Pry on this.

OC --> Yes, there are examples of people struggling to develop an offensive scheme, but there are examples of those that don't (Scott Satterfield started out strong at FIU and Rich Rodriguez was considered very successful at Tulane as a brand new OC). For every messageboard guru that says "terrible hire," I am finding someone "in the business" that says he is a strong, strong hire.

So... is VT taking a different approach than what some wanted? Yes. What is the ceiling of this group? Uncertain. Could it fail? Yes. Again, excited to see.

While a number of talking heads are looking at the hires in a negative manner, all it takes is to examine their evaluation of the hires in 2016 (Fuente's first year) and you can see that their accuracy is less than 50% in actually evaluating who would be successful.
