I don't care about the record. Their long-term outlook is very poor, probably one of the worst in college football. They had a legendary, program-defining coach, and he's gone. They are located in a sparsely populated area with hardly any talented football players in their immediate vicinity. In proximate areas of Virginia, Tennessee, NC, there's plenty of talent, but Blacksburg is hemmed in on all sides by significant competitors for that talent.
They had an opportunity a couple decades ago with their legendary coach Beamer, the Bud Foster D playing at a high level, and a generational talent at QB in Michael Vick. They came close but ultimately won nothing. At this point, they are **** near done.
