Incredibly, SG did last 9 years here, even with being The Devil. There were certainly people that SG rubbed the wrong way and some of those relationships may have gotten to a toxic point. He also had a lot of successes with the program, especially considering where we were in the Hussey/Stokes years, and clearly cared about Virginia Tech (and not only the basketball program). I think we've also had 5 seasons now since his firing, have a new athletic director, and have a top notch coach in place (hopefully for as long as SG) with a program that appears to have tremendous potential right now. The continued shots at SG do grow tiresome, although I suppose there are a lot of fans who still get a pop from them.
