I can appreciate this take. I think I look at the room as a whole and see a few things that don't scream "development". Could some of that be related to OL & QB play? Could some of that have been related to the scheme? Likely. I hope my assessment of his ability to develop the quality recruits he brings in is proven to be wrong.
Burden was only WR coach in 2015, the year before Wiggins and then got shifted to RB coach when Fuente arrived. He had Ford, Phillips, and Hodges, all on their second years. He also benefitted from working with probably the best passing game architect at VT in Scot Loeffler so I don't know if you have enough evidence to say he was a good WR coach.
Bingo bingo. The amount of people on twitter who argue the opposite is actually staggering. Billy Ray Mitchell chief among them. Like how much more evidence do you actually need
TCU got him
Being poor sucks
Eh sort of agree. He hasn't developed the highly rated high school guys, but Kaleb Smith took a huge step forward in the one year under Mines, Stephen Gosnell was an afterthought transfer but improved every year and is now in the NFL, and though felton didn't improve from 23 to 24, he came to VT as an athlete masquerading as a bad football player.
Or this softball is dropping off at the exact same time as the last two seasons. This is what happens when you have poor depth
This is why you don't play that school. No benefit.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting story.
I'm willing to give Mines the benefit of the doubt based on your last paragraph. We'll see if they can start to bring in more 4 star WRs for Mines to work with with a competent surrounding staff.
Also, since the only WR coach between Mines and Wiggins is Jafar Williams, that's probably negatively skewing my opinion.

Thankfully, he did not have to worry about Germans shooting him like the guy at St. Mere Eglise. For those not familiar with the story:

so he is still eligible!

We have insurance on that. It'll pay the diver and we'll get repair money, then we'll take the board down.
Never forget
Well, to be fair, one is no man either.
Ok, I didn't remember he was our WR coach for such a short time.
