We may not survive right away in the SEC WITH coaching changes. I guess each show a different thing. #VT4SEC shows that Weaver, Steger, the University, and the program want to be the best by being in the best conference. Coaching changes show that Beamer wants to be better and wants a National Title. Both are positives though, while I think one is long term, the other is short term.
Pep hired as OC
O'cain out
Stinespring tight ends coach and 757 recruiter
Newsome out
Shane special teams coach
Don't care if we keep Kevin sherman or not. He hasn't done poorly in my view considering many of the receivers we've put in the nfl.
RB coach and O-line coach (or wide receivers): Whoever Pep sees fit.
Newsome should issue a formal statement apologizing to the university, staff, players and fans for doing such an awful job. He shouldn't just disappear to JMU without us hearing anything----we all deserve something for enduring grade F offensive line play for so many years and watching it obviate our skill studs on offense. Sure we complained, but nobody got hurt or killed so I think we can all pat ourselves on the back for being good sports on tolerating Newsome.
Don't forget our studs on the O-Line since he's been here... Duane Brown was a first-round draft pick and is now considered among the best linemen in the game.
Why wasn't he more productive in college? He says his coaches never sat them down to watch game film, among other things.
which is my point. His potential was shown in his measurables, not in how he performed while at school as a result of our staff's teachings.
The argument there is, how does a second-team All-ACC offensive lineman get picked in the first round and now considered among the elite in the NFL today (which spans many years worth of college players, not just the 4 years he was competing against), and how does that reflect on the coaches he had in college? If he had played up to his college potential, and how we now know he can play, he would have been an All-American.

Coaching changes, we wouldn't survive in the SEC without coaching changes.
ditto
what this guy said.

Second That!

Wasn't he picked solely on potential?
Exactly

Definitely the coaching changes. As has been said, we'd be dead in the SEC without them anyway.
But also, our ultimate goal is a national title, and to me, the coaching changes are a much bigger step in that direction than moving conferences.
I would be happy with any announcement; new coaches, old coaches staying, etc. I just want to know what to mentally expect next season.
