[QUOTE="COOL MAN, post: 129402887, member: 1080466"] Others around here presumably have a more informed perspective on this point, but I've somehow gotten the impression over the years that Foster is among THE worst interviewers ever. Of course, since his dream job presumably has ALWAYS been down the hallway, it can probably be persuasively argued he therefore never pursued any other HC job as seriously as one might expect from the outside. OTOH, I'm fairly sure he's been among THE highest paid assistants in the country for a fairly long time, so Tech has at least earned his loyalty. But I guess I always thought he privately expected Beamer to hang it up [B]at least[/B] 3 or so years ago. Anyway, it'll be VERY interesting to see if he FINALLY gets his shot in Blacksburg; guess it depends to what extent Whit feels the Program needs to be torn down and rebuilt. I wonder if the consensus among Tech fans......who I myself am not exposed to......will prove to be [B]award the good and loyal soldier[/B] or [B]bring in a new regime[/B]. Guess I sort of assume it'll be the latter, as fans always think what they [B]don't[/B] have currently is pretty-much automatically going to be better. [/QUOTE]
