Oh good grief. If you define "Hokie" as excluding a Jew from New York City, then sure, he wasn't a Hokie. However, if you define "Hokie" as someone who loves and wants the best for Virginia Tech, then Coach Greenberg was an amazing Hokie. He went out of his way to reach out to the student body. He put up his own money to buy NIT tickets. Paige (@pgberg) is a Virginia Tech alum and said this after her father was fired: "i will always be a graduate of VT & always cherish my time in bburg, hokie nation has been so supportive..". Get a grip - Coach Greenberg was a wonderful Hokie. I don't especially mind the decision, but we don't have to start treating Coach Greenberg as an unperson.
