Keeping Foster and landing one of the hottest names out there? I'm really not sure VT could have done any better post-Frank.

VT administration is a lot smarter than UK's

Actually odd, I think he could have done a lot better than VT. Several SEC jobs better that VT open.

While I'm no Memphis fan I understand how their fans feel. The same thing happened at CSU last year. When programs like those, and WKU is another great example, manage to hire a really good coach all it takes is 1 or 2 outstanding seasons, and a bigger school swoops in and hires them away. After the year WKU is having I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to them yet again. Seems to have worked well for Florida, and I'm sure VT has desires of returning to their better days, and competing for the ACC title.

Much easier road in ACC to playoffs ...
