They seem to have a great fan base and SEC-similar culture. What led to the current mediocrity?

Not sure what happened other than they have hired bum coaches.

However, VT about to hire Shane Beamer or Mike Vick to restore the feeling.

Beamer hung on too long



They probably should have promoted Bud Foster to be the head coach but instead went with Justin Fuente who did ok with Beamer's recruits but things quickly went downhill when he had to bring in his own players.

Justin Fuente


He was a really hot name at the time. They hit on a few guys that a lot of people wanted, but those guys just didnt pan out

They are a poor, small program.

They were awful prior to Beamer and have been awful since.....for decades and decades.

Virginia is the better program.

It's hard to replace a legend, you rarely hire up

Virginia Tech is definitely the poor Texas A&M of the ACC.
