[Tony4Canes]

Bump not sure which HC threads was first but merge them into one Maudes

 

[SinCityCane]

There's always a buyout owed by the school. Canned for doing a **** job and walks away with free millions. What a joke. How is this the norm?

 

[The U is back to work]

If I was VT I’d hire Dan Mullen. Tell him don’t worry about recruiting just get portal kids with production. Can’t recruit to Blacksburg and I don’t know what their NIL situation is but can’t be amazing.

Mullen has made a lot of money. He can pick and choose. There will be better jobs that will open up soon.

 

[M3N]

Both programs are dead

 

[arizonacane]

If Beamer were to leave South Carolina for VT, then Mullen would be the first choice. Maybe Saban is he wants to coach again and USCe makes him competitive in NIL.

He is at unlv lol. VT would be a huge step up

It's the market.

UNLV and UCLA both have more upside as a program than VA Tech.

 

[TboneJones]

Both programs are dead

UCLA has infinitely more upside than VA Tech being in the B10 and wealthier alums if you can get them to spend the money. Where will VA Tech be come 2030? The ACC won’t even be around.

 

[RozayCane]

I could see it

 

[Tony4Canes]

 

[QuattroCane]

Talk about a meteoric fall from grace.

 

[Brickell]

Still don't know why they didn't just do this on Sunday considering the fact they play this Saturday against Baylor.

 

[RozayCane]

Can’t believe they didn’t been fire that weirdo

 

[theribdoctor]

 

[QuattroCane]

Another job that's good, but kinda not. T. Boone is gone, and it's unclear if he left them billions; they're the perennial little brother to OU.
They should go after Jimbo.

They and VT are in tough spots.

 

[Golsen82]

Sources say Barry Sanders or Dez Bryant are next to coach

 

[caneingville]

Mullen seems like he would be a good fit for Ok State too, no?
