He might do fine at that level. I hold no ill will, he was just the wrong guy and we were being cheap. I imagine ODU might be happy to get an OC with P5 experience, even if he was a dud.
It's not about slandering. More interested in what their fans think about the product they just purchased given recent results.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
Ah right. I forgot about StingTalk's latest insecurity update, where any negative remark about another team, serious or not, triggers a series of fairies and one bot, the latter of which notifies a random dumbass of the post so that he can deflect it back at Tech by any means necessary.

And he was the best of our coordinators!
Serious question, would you have said that pre 2021 season. I recall Thacker making im game improvements and the team playing better in the 2nd half of games prior to this season. I was always pissed at the quick scores we typically gave up at the beginning of games. Obviously this season was mind boggling bad.

I bet he does a decent job... Not sure he was the problem at Tech, just took the fall.

The pass defense was the biggest issue we had. But ranking 130 / 130 will do that for you.

I don't know what ODU is paying him but I can pretty much guarantee that his quality of life metric just shot way up.

The older you get, the more that counts.

OC at Old Dominion
I am glad he landed on his feet and his office is not at Bobby Dodd.
He will be able to blame transitioning from the 3-O for his failures at Tech.
I wonder what his excuse for poor performance at Temple will be. Doesn't really matter now.

He was a reason for the team's poor performance but not the only reason.
