TD incoming, D is gassed
Yeah, but HH transfered down to play in the weak SEC...let's see him play some real teams
I dont like to talk bad about our players, so I'll try my best to remain silent about our QB... but it's a damn fucking shame we let HH and QP walk.
ND's freshman QB playing on the road in a hostile Lane is better than BB. FUN!
I'll give Corn credit on that drive.
I'll be surprised if we get to 17 offensive points. Corn blew his load on the two scoring drives
14-10 at half, ND never looks back. Book it
Man, HH or QP woulda landed that right on a dime, or so it seems this year
Jesus, come on
Look at the difference between the helmets and jerseys. They're definitely not the sAME color as what we wore in the early 2000s
Maroon helmet and all purple everything else!
That settles it. There is a 53.333% chance we're going to win!
Y'all are so LAME

I've had to travel to Wilmington for work on a number of occasions, so no info on good places to live...but if you are into craft beer, hit up Pour Taproom, Flytrap Brewing, and Flying Machine Brewing

# | The Case for Justin Hamilton: A Page from Clemson's Book (Edited) Let's look at the examples he uses in thread
Again, look at Manny. He knows Miami and markets the program well. He's been a leader on transfers, COVID, NIL. He's made changes when needed, showing he recognizes issues. He inherited a program that was 2-5 to end 2018 & looked awful. Is more change really a fix?— 💫🅰️♈️🆔 (@ADavidHaleJoint) September 27, 2021
Does Fuente check that box? Nope didn't inherit garbage. Inherited lots of NFL talent, once they were gone, the W's started slipping. Also note the part about Manny "making changes when needed, and showing he recognizes issues"...we don't get that benefit here. We get told that it is "ludicrous crap" to suggest Corn be relieved of play-calling duties.
Or look at Tony Elliott. Dude was OC for two national champs. He recalibrated an offense to fit Kelly Bryant and went to the playoff. Do you really think he just forgot how to coach? Or is it that he's got a super young offense with minimal depth still trying to find an identity?— 💫🅰️♈️🆔 (@ADavidHaleJoint) September 27, 2021
To start with, Corn doesn't have the type of goodwill that comes with winning two natty's. Is it a super young offense with minimal depth the excuse? Nope...depth, maybe, to a degree, since they can't keep players in the program and develop them (best developmental program in the nation, amirite?).
Has Mike Norvell messed up? Yes. But also... is FSU better by spending more money it doesn't have and moving on to a 4th HC in 6 years? Hell no. Norvell is a sharp guy who will learn from mistakes.— 💫🅰️♈️🆔 (@ADavidHaleJoint) September 27, 2021
4th coach in 6 years? Damn! We're not quite as bad as FSU, but those same 6 years with one coach, we're on the same trajectory. No one wants to start and endless cycle of hiring and firing coaches...but when the body of work points to a subpar product that shows signs of decline each and every year...its not just changing for the sake of changing. It's recognizing the problem and doing something about it. We had good records when we still had Beamer's players, so a part of the problem is evidently recruiting. I'm not the most knowledgeable X's and O's guy, but we've got some on this site who I trust when they say Corn's play calling is shit a lot of the time. So with Beamer's guys, was the talent level good enough to overcome the playcalling? I dunno, maybe. But with each and every year looking worse than the year before it, there is zero reason for me to believe that next year will be better.
If Hale was referencing Corn/Fu in this thread of his, you'd think he'd have used them in one of his examples. Oh wait...maybe he did reference them
In general, you can have great coaches who don't always get results. You can have terrible coaches who, for a year or two, make things look good. But coaching changes should be about the people more than results. Because the right people will *eventually* get results.— 💫🅰️♈️🆔 (@ADavidHaleJoint) September 27, 2021

I do agree with that tweet completely. It's not just about results, it's about recruiting, it's about fan engagement, it's about alumni relations, etc.
And yes, I do believe the right people will *eventually* get the desired results at VT, but the first step towards that is getting the right people.
