Mike Barber in the RTD: "Getting it right is the most important thing." There's no shortlist of candidates or timeline for the hire.
The Stadium with some candidates. (Includes some names I didn't have on my hotboard, a couple of which I'll add to the next edition). Syracuse's Adrian Autry is another name to consider, though credible rumors about him have yet to really emerge.
Cincinnati's Mick Cronin a serious option. As I said previously, I don't necessarily know that he's going to be at Cincy forever, but I also don't know that VT is the program to lure him away (it's going to take $$$, and the Hokies famously don't have a ton of it). The relationship with Whit - with whom he worked when the Hokies' AD was in the same position in the Queen City - could be a factor though.
Local columnists don't think there's much to it yet, though.
Meanwhile, "it's a little serious" with Seton Hall's Kevin Willard already.
