Ugh 🤮, such a whiny doucheface. He was a perfect fit at loluva, but at least he could get the ball to wide open receivers
Barring some sort of fall off, I expect them to end up ranked before the end of the year. Next week vs JMU is going to be a pretty big game for both teams
edit: Next week is Marshall. JMU is the week after.
Not trying to justify the loss because it does suck, however, this years odu team is miles better than wake or nc state and most likely USCe too.
Tuberville is a fucking idiot.
And guess who hired him at Cincinnati. Lol
If you've seen Kyron Drones play football, yes you have.
Sorry Papa F, I want your other team to do well. Go Hawks
I think Finebaum is a pretty smart/savvy person. He plays a character, and he knows it.
Tuberville is a fucking idiot. I've heard so many stories about how dumb he is. I think it was Spencer Hall who said something to the effect of "if you ever have imposter syndrome, just remember that Tommy Tuberville is a senator."
That's to say nothing about either person's politics - just a judgement on their intelligence.
no court awareness...too mechanical. if you have to think, you're too slow
and how many times in that one game (ODU?) did he slide short of the line to gain?
Also, I wrote most of this before Iowa State's loss to Cincy. So there might be some stats that are a week outdated and others that are not.
I'm too lazy to correct because it doesn't really impact the thesis.
should be at or close to the top of our list...current and sustained success at a fairly comparable program...produces competent offenses and good defenses...should have access to a much larger talent pool at VT than ISU
Here I figured you got extra exercise as every dog in the neighborhood was chasing you for the dog food in your pockets.
"The Argument for Dan Mullen to be the next VT Football Coach" anagrams to: "Dan Mullen needs to be VTs next coach".
Finebaum is certainly one person I would not mind leaving the broadcast booth. I'm sure he'd argue a 4 loss Alabama team deserves in the playoffs.
After the committee recommends him, Whit has only one job....

No! Let Campbell stay at Iowa State and keep doing well. I want at least one of my teams to do well.
Finebaum 2026: Somehow Dumber than Tuberville
And if he's not interested, stop at nothing to make him interested.
Dan Mullen would be my #1, but Matt Campbell isn't far behind. If he's interested, you throw everything you can at trying to bring him in.
I'll take Drones + Mullen over Collandrea + Mullen. But I'm unsure that Drones has eligibility left after this year.
We can afford him. Now, like anything, if a bidding war comes to play, then things can become unaffordable or can remain competitive but one doesn't possess the winning offer.
From his current salary to what we can now payout, he is affordable. No question.
Think I saw every single one of those happen at least once if not multiple times Saturday.
Made one great decision to pull the ball and option right; missed nearly every other read;
Re pocket presence the one Wake player- whose name I can't recall-blitzed from the blind side what seemed liked dozens of times(probably 'only' 5-8 lol) and was never or nearly never even touched much less chipped or blocked-amazed Drones didn't fumble more as he never sensed the blitzer nor did he do the obvious thing and throw to where the blitz came from.
Definitely saw multiple skips, scattered throws over the receiver's heads and at least one spectacularly awkward through into triple coverage on the edge while another receiver was surrounded by 5-8 yards of space across the middle of field.
I was just going to say this. Maybe he's more accurate when it doesn't matter. You can't exactly "win" practice, or, alternatively, losing doesn't sink standings. So without that stress, he makes passes. But in games, with consequences, maybe he gets tense and makes a lot of mistakes he doesn't in practice.
Dean was the only starter. Misses were abundant in his tenure at UF. If we are going to use recruiting rankings as an index, then we also need to see how those classes panned out.
If we want offense, Mullen can sure deliver. But he hasn't fielded a good defense in his last 5+ years of coaching.
I'm not going to lose sleep if we hire Mullen; he doesn't have a particularly low floor but I don't think his ceiling is particularly high either. And personality wise, he is a turd in the punchbowl. We can, and imo should, aim higher.
You're in for one hell of a ride

If their defense can get better/stay healthy I think they have enough offense to beat anyone in the SBC and be a legit top 25-20 team
