Yep. This is part of why I argued against folks stating Vic would absolutely leave us if aTm comes calling. What he has built here is his and is special. And he has been loved an supported by our admin and fans since the get-go.

Yes, aTm is his alma-mater, and he spent a combined 13 years there as a student and assistant coach. But he's spent 7 years and counting here as our HC. Who's to say his experience here hasn't been just as special or even more special than his years at aTm?

It would slightly shock me if he left for aTm....

I know his deep roots for aTm.....but he purchased a lot of land outside of starkville and is raising horses on them along with new home.....the kind of place you dream of retiring too.....set up to be there long term.....along with the program, raising and coaching his daughter during the best years of her life.....I really don't seem him leaving, even for aTm....could be wrong, but hope not

I worry more about coaching burnout with Vic than anything.... he’s one of the hardest working coaches around.

 

[jdbulldog]

He is one hard headed son of a gun...that can be considered a compliment or criticism. There is no question he can be quite sentimental about his players. He works them like an army drill sergeant and loves them for how they respond. He demands perfection. I hope he retires in Starkville and decides to play some zone defense before he does!

That could be one reason to leave for another job.....a new challenge. Hopefully he is happy with what he has built here.

I think he would be an awesome AD.

He'll have that challenge next year. That team will be very young with the 5 seniors graduating the oldest player with experience will be Bibby unless another transfer comes in. Taylor, Wiggins, AEH, Carter, Scott received decent playing time but that's it and along with a great recruiting class it will be very young but talented. Nice challenge to have though

Ambassador. Wasn't that Spurrier's Title?

Damn communists from up north! That’s why.

I think he’s going to have some very quotable moments and funny sideline interactions with next year’s young group. Super talented but very inexperienced. In two years we are going to murder teams with that group, though.

Protest downvotes for Sam Elliot not winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Hopefully the only reason he would need a new challenge would be if he hangs a cpl championship banners from the hunp's rafters. If he does that and he feels he needs a new challenge and wants to move on to aTm I could live with it. Go coach there several years then retire to Starkville where he is a legend. I'm sure we could find a few things for him to do within the administration.
