Tomorrow's frontrunner -- today!

Time for a new game to keep this coaching search interesting. Every day, it seems like we have a new frontrunner for the job. I'm expecting the announcement coming on Sunday, so there's still time for four more frontrunners.

Over the weekend, it was Morris. Monday, it was Mullen. Today, it's Fuente.

Who do you think the new frontrunner is going to be tomorrow? Not who you think will be hired, but who's going to be the hot name in 24 hours.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

This is also a metaphor for the last few weeks.

Damn, that horse is movin'!

I accept the title of head coach and request an advance on my first payment of stone-cut oats.

I, for one, support you as the next head coach.

... or you can take the horse pill, and see how far down this rabbit hole goes.

Haven't heard about Arians in a while. I feel like his name is about due to pop up again.

Can someone create a sweet spin-the-wheel GIF with all the supposed frontrunners? Like we had for the Shane RB rotation.

Maybe we can ask Rece Davis to borrow the ACC Wheel of Destiny and put all of the coaches over the ACC teams.

The first one I did was

According to one booster, Mike Price and Jon Gruden are getting interviews merely as a courtesy - the job is nearly guaranteed to go to Al Groh.

At that point I just laughed and decided that was as far as I needed to go.

Stiil seeing shades of the ACC as of this minute:

Ralph Friedgen is the fan favorite, but it's hard to ignore the recruiting success Doug Marrone and Butch Davis have had.

This is just too much fun.

Given the school's academic values, a guy like Butch Davis, Bill Callahan, or Derek Dooley would be a perfect fit.

They've already interviewed Lane Kiffin and Paul Pasqualoni. Is Barry Alvarez still in the running? Our sources say yes.

Scary stuff.

Actually, I heard that they will announce after the loluva game that Mike London will be the new HC and OC, and that he will be bringing in Al Groh as his DC.

I also heard, from the same source, that wearing a costume Superman cape will actually allow you to fly when jumping off of tall buildings.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

Give that cape to Mike London after this Saturday.

Pain is Temporary, Chicks Dig Scars
Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

nah..we want to keep London around in Cville as long as possible. The last thing I want to do is encourage the man to jump off a building.

Onward and upward

If that actually happened, I might be tempted to try that Superman cape thing.

Wait, what?

THIS IS AN INVENTION OF THE DEVIL.

I'm here for the memes, I just stay for the football.

To add to this in an off topic way, the coaching name of the day effects all teams even ones who still have their coach. I heard a report on XM that Tressell would be the best fit for LSU.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

sticking with it......Dan Mullen

Pat Narduzzi, simply so Pitt fans have to worry about losing their coach for the 100th straight year.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Ruffin McNeil, ECU's playing Cincinnati so its only likely

I went to class with Frank Beamer. Does that qualify me?

Jon Gruden. It's a done deal.

Grumors......

Heard from a source close to the program that Beamer feels rejuvenated and nixed his retirement agreement

So rotating running backs worked great, right?

So let's do the same thing, but with head coaches.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Rotation? Why not all of them! Chadrich Rodriguefeuntermanullenoster for head coach!

"Exit light..."

How soon we forget serious candidate Larrry Fedora...ahhh, the good ol' days of last Friday.

Saban. He's hungry for the challenge of winning a Natty at VT.

Now I'm hearing that the playoff selection committee is going to select the best coach for all 100 and whatever division 1 teams during the off season.

Everybody is getting a new coach.

Leonard. Duh.

Wooooooohooooooo. It's like the redraft function in Madden. I love beatig Tom Brady and the browns every year.

Slightly erratic, mostly sane, always a Hokie.

Vincent Fuller

Vincent and Nina as co-head coaches!!!

I would like to see Chip Kelly resurface. :-)

The older I get, the better I was...Go Hokies!!!

This is going to be great for the ACC.

We will see Rich Rod's name pop up once, hate it or not.
