@JagerHokie Franklin is our guy why are we having this poll? Need to have 100% support. Even with the talent we have a very challenging schedule. Can't fall apart before the first snap.

@petebvt @petebvt being a true Tech fan we know all the things that can go wrong. Expectations low; hope high. #LGH

@hokiebammer Ty @hokiebammer. It was a great press conference. Can't wait for next season. Stop by Lot 5 for a beer.

@1999AMtheBurg We have the combination of a dumpster fire and a train wreck.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@1999AMtheBurg At some point Whit needs to be brought on the carpet for Pry and Fuente.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@1999AMtheBurg Whit hired Pry. Pry made a series of bad decisions. Where does accountability begin and end?

@AndyBitterVT When the highlight of your football program is enter sandman you may have a problem.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@petebvt I like JC but the entire staff and Whit need to go. It is unwatchable.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@AndyBitterVT I am worried that the highlight for this year at Lane was the Metallica concert. Potentially downhill from there. Good times.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@SonsofSatVT I think the analysis makes sense. With the evolving NIL landscape we need new and innovative thinkers. The Billy Beane equivalent as an AD. Not sure that Witt is that leader for this evolution.

@treadmillhorse Social Media reflects life. <20% create most of the problems. It's unfortunate that we get to see mental health issues in real time. Don't post if you don't want to open yourself to lunatic fringe.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@DeferredWalkOn Good list. Are you taking feedback and making updates. lol.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@petebvt @petebvt the first step in this journey begins with Whit moving on. He is the brain trust to put in a head coach, dc and oc with no previous experience in their respective roles. Should we be surprised as to where we are? Probably not.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@pabooth89 @hokie_fan25 @WDBJ7 I agree with you @pabooth89. While I think our coaches could be doing better. Dragging Coach Pry's name through the muck is not the right approach. We are better than that.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@AndyBitterVT I read an article last year talking about putting players under formal contracts. I don't know if this is wishful thinking or if there are kernels of truth here. In business if you take money there is an expectation of services delivered.

@petebvt I have limited my karaoke repertoire to just In-a-gadda-da-vida. Everyone wins.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@boundarycorner Long time Hokie fan. We barely made the threshold for bowl eligibility and now we are commenting on who we are playing. I hope the kids have fun and represent. Go Hokies.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@treadmillhorse We just need to retain the talent and add to the foundation that @CoachPryVT and his staff is building. Extremely happy with this year's outcome given the starting point.

[Rich Pierle @PierleRich]

@petebvt @petebvt your analysis isn't wrong. That said as Hokies fans we can at times be a bit broken. Beating UVA is still a thing and Beamer did get us expecting bowl bids. While I won't hold a loss against Pry I will be sad if we lose.
