Hacker 82 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 If true, it will fall under the category of curiouser and curiouser. It begs the question was Johnson driving the bus Weaver threw Seth under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhokies 47 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I would guess this was to keep the current players from transferring and hope that the recruits will stay. Will have to wait a few years to see if this was the right move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 If true, it will fall under the category of curiouser and curiouser. It begs the question was Johnson driving the bus Weaver threw Seth under? I found myself in a similar situation five years ago...but I didn't go back...you should know what I'm talking about... I would guess this was to keep the current players from transferring and hope that the recruits will stay. Will have to wait a few years to see if this was the right move. Johnson was well liked by lots of folks (players/AD staff/recruits)...his departure was the proverbial straw. Glad to see him back at VT!

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 From looking at a few different boards...seems to be a hire that the fans can live with too. Also noticed that current players are very excited on his return to the VT sidelines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Bullseye. Well that and he's qualified for the job. This is a good move by VT and I couldn't be more excited! Go Hokies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend11 32 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah, I think I'm with the masses in saying that I'm pleased with the hire. I think it's safe. We know who he is and what he can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 No problem at all with the hire -- and I think I'm growing comfortable with the process as well. Go get 'em, JJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 This could end up a good hire. I just can't understand why VT wouldn't look at a proven HC at a mid major conference. VT has a lot of exposure because of the football team and playing in the ACC. I just think they could have went after a bigger hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, VT isn't going to pay the bucks it takes to hire someone that isn't a cast off or a raw assistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoard 18 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 LOL, VT isn't going to pay the bucks it takes to hire someone that isn't a cast off or a raw assistant. There's a thread on TSL right now with people complaining about BB ticket prices---yet the fans wonder why Weaver won't pony up for a better coach.

Exactly. Football can't pay for everything. Basketball's got to carry its own weight, and why shouldn't it? VT's an ACC school, and Cassell isn't as cavernous as JPJ. With 2x UVA's enrollment and alumni, VT should be packing them to the rafters most every night. Basketball tickets aren't THAT bad, either...

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 But you forget... it's basketball. It's not football. Do they even keep score? I didn't think so. VT will care about basketball the day they introduce a three point line! That'll be the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
