More stable? Most SEC jobs expect success pretty darn fast. You could be out in 2 depending on your performance. What's your definition of stable?
I am torn between Go ACC and Da U has a huge recruiting window so screw them....so let Miami win 2-0 with no receivers catching passes and that can be it.
But, he did and they didn't.
Fitz would be a terrible hire imo. His last 3 non-covid seasons all had 3 or less wins.
I am actually very interested in the Miami-UF game. I know that as a good old Hokie I'm not supposed to want Miami to win, but I would love to see them run UF off the field.
I agree on both counts. I did think David Teal had a good take on these guys. My point, having not been entirely clear, was that if we swing and miss on a couple of our primary targets, these two could certainly be on a longer list of secondary candidates.
Excellent points. Will need to see it as last year's replacing replacing individual stats with advertising during game was annoying and proves your point.
This is UF in sunny Florida as the hotbed of recruiting. Top 15 is a bad year. Napier has back to back top 10 classes. How is Tennessee out recruiting UF? Or Clemson? I would say there are only 4-5 schools that should consistently recruit better than UF, Bama, OSU, Texas, and maybe Oregon. I would say Michigan but they haven't been consistent enough for the last 30 years to do so. You might argue UGA but I think Kirby is just a better recruiter than most.
Mississippi state just signed the 22nd class after going 2-10.
Mullen has recruited at the levels that the schools recruit at with coaches that get fired. I dont see him recruiting better at VT than Pry or Fuente, however I would be his roster management and use of the players would be better.
He has to get the "cousins" excited about their program again before he can rip their hearts out when he leaves again.
Yeah but did Iowa St QB beat the hokies? Nope checkmate!
At least we won't have to worry about Florida taking Mullen off the table.
Odd fact.... the Iowa QB is now 52-6 in college as a starting QB. He went 49-6 at South Dakota State and is now 3-0 at Iowa making him the winningest QB is college football history passing Kellen Moore. Moore however did all his at the FBS level.
Matt Campbell would be a great success.
You'd have to really convince me to hire someone who doesn't have significant P4 wins on their resume
What do you consider 'significant P4 wins'?
Aren't they taking out one of the remaining 9 holes for the new business school buildings (I think?) that they showed plans of building a year or two ago?
If that's the case, why stop there?
This was my question haha.
To add to your 3rd bullet, it sounds like good coaches are interested but they need the commitment you mention. He also said there are plenty of coaches who would take this in a heartbeat but that probably says something about the quality of the coach willing to do that.
The point he's made on several podcasts now is that being first to market doesn't mean what it used to because whenever Florida opens they'll reset the market anyways. This move was to keep any amount of fans showing up to games to show that Tech was at least doing something after the ODU ass kicking.
If you're going to raise the white flag, you may as well do it with style.
Contemplating calling your comment "noise" to justify a downvote...
Make that 31 now but still may not be enough
Well Rutgers handing them the ball helps. 38 should be enough.
Technology maybe but actual employment by those operating the screens is yet to be seen.
Zero faith they will
1. Get more advertisers
2. Use the screens effectively
Most of the new video boards have the ability to be able to split the screen however many ways is desired and can be changed again with simple programming. This is not new technology at this point.
Looks like it's actually fewer screens than before though so fewer ads possibly
More viewing area equals more advertising equals more $$.

Why would you do that Tulsa? Pooch punt out of bounds not give Ok St ball at 40
Two NFL personnel types with similar jobs from small/obscure towns in SWVA...wild.
If BOV approves a budget increase and revised structure as expected, should start hearing more names of candidates for GM and HC as agents get even more active.
More fun to speculate about coaches because they are more visible but GM hire may be more important; and would surely need to sign off on the HC.
