Yeah, I think it's actually the potency of modern offenses that will draw the pendulum back. Some program somewhere will start to say to itself during a coaching search, hey, we can put up 50 a game. If we could just old the opponent to ten fewer points, we could be national champs.
When everyone is an offensive juggernaut, no one is an offensive juggernaut, is essentially what I'm saying. We'll eventually hit a saturation point where trying to hold your opponents to five fewer points per game will be the smartest strategy because there's nothing left to do to make your O any better.
But I think any sort of movement back toward D has been significantly hampered by the failure of Will Muschamp, who at one point was the hottest head coaching prospect at his level.
And no I don't mean a return to 1970s football. I just mean an increased value on defense. And I do think we'll eventually see the trend for coaching hires to swing back in favor of DCs. And then eventually back to OCs. So on ad infinitum.
It's a pendulum, though, and the NCAA like the NFL is a copycat league. Someone will hire a DC that makes a big run at a school and we'll see more programs hiring DCs for the head job.
What would the clause be structured like? A bigger penalty for taking a job at an in-conference program than for leaving the conference?
Can't wait till we have sports reporters tweeting pictures taken with long lenses through Bud's living room window.
Andy Bitter, calling on you, buddy.
A team full of cloned Fullers coached by a staff full of cloned Fosters.
FOSTERWATCH 2014 has been thoroughly excellent thus far.
I watched that game from the north end zone stands with my friend who was pursuing his masters in forestry. After it was over, I turned to him and said, "We're in serious fucking trouble next week."
I remember in 98 and 99 all the computer science majors falling over themselves to learn COBOL because the demand was ridiculous for people to fix all the code prior to the year switch. There are some guys living in beachfront houses deciding whether to take the yacht down to the Caymans or the jet to the south of France this weekend, all from money made adding two digits to the year in several hundred thousand lines of code.
Bud to the Jets.
Good to see the Darren Evans pipeline is still flowing.
To hell with Foster's agent. Where is Foster's agent's agent?
I like to think that going 2-0 against aTm was a factor in R.C. Slocum being shown the door.
That's what she said.
Now THAT'S a word I can get behind!
Because the runway at the Blacksburg airport is just long enough for a dragonfly to land.
Schroedinger's glass.
Is he walking toward third?
Nobody with any sense of when to quit drinking ever thought ordering Gumby's pizza was a good idea.

I took exception to him telling people to stop with this stupidity. I get thinking this is dumb. It is. That's part of why I enjoy it. And it's actually on topic to the original thread of is Bud getting a raise and extension from VT. If anyone is taking this to heart, that's probably unfortunate for them, but don't say it shouldn't be talked about. It's stupidity, but it's relevant stupidity.
Frickin hillarious, which is why I love it. Yesterday we were analyzing hat placement on the table beside Josh Sweat. Today we're tracking flights that have no association with any college for no apparently reason. Viva LA offseason!
I'm giving you a leg, but you deserve the entire damn turkey for that one.
I bow to your Buddha nature.
We're about to run out of Fullers from THIS generation. The recruiting class of 2032 looks promising.
We could nickname the Lane Stadium crowd "The Twlefth DB"
Sorry. My tinfoil hat was on crooked.
I think that exact idea has been floated more than you think. I just think it's a non-starter for most agents during negotiation.
