If we can do that you'd be certifiable not to have the Hokies in the top 10
"there's a decent chance he would lose his job again after one season?"- This is why an OC hasn't been named yet, and also why with each passing day it will be Davis or Mines more likely.
Similar question RE: Brown as Moorhead... why would he leave his current situation (collecting fat buyout checks on the couch) to be VT OC when there's a decent chance he would lose his job again after one season?
Except WVU's OL coach... he's going to be great here apparently.
90% of coaches come with uncertainty
Alex Bregman to the Red Sox for $40 million/year for 3 years. As an Astros fan it sucks to see a leader who was there for the entirety of one of the better runs in MLB history, but I think everyone in Houston knew he was leaving. His bat had dropped off a bit the last couple of years, although he should do well in Fenway.
This post IS my point... lots of questions around Brown- you pointed them out perfectly. So I guess we aren't trying to upgrade from Bowen in any considerable way. THAT would require money, which we only have top-40ish of.
I have all 40 of the primary discworld novels, but the city watch are my favorites. I started with Guards! Guards!, but Men at Arms and Night Watch may be my top two.
I had to check for a moment and make sure that this wasn't a real company because sadly I could see someone doing that
Looking for recommendations for eating and things to do in San Diego (Mid Marcb). It's been over 15 years since I 've been there but craving good mexican food. Is the Toronado still around? how about the Aero Club Bar?

Ingredient labels are your friend.
Most have some kind of sugar.
I've gotten so I don't even look at salad dressing any longer, I start with vinaigrette.
If you are at a restaurant and want to make sure you don't get sugar, tell the server you are diabetic and cannot have sugar. Have them ask to make sure there is no sugar in condiments and dressings.
What's your point?
I think the takeaway is pretty clear... Do we have the cash to be consistently top 25 in most sports. No, not at all of them, and not consistently. Could/should our most visible programs be in the top 40 most years? Yes, absolutely.
Has Pry led a top 40 unit since being here? No.
Could Neil Brown be an OC hire that gets us to that level? Maybe. He's definitely not a sure thing (hasn't been a play caller in over a decade) but when he was, he was good at it. Given the headwinds, i personally think he did a decent job at WVU. But what would he run here? The Air Raid? Would he run something RPO based? What's he looking for in a QB in 2025? I don't know any of these answers.
Lady Hokies have four games Friday and Saturday, including two ranked match ups.
Lets take it to 9-0 with no runs against.

Well its the excuse and rationalization for everything. Facilities, support staff, Mike Young getting no money, Losing Kenny Brooks, losing Mansoor Delane, not being able to afford Barry Odom, Merryman not being only for football players, the list goes on.
There's 68(?) P4 schools. VT is somewhere between the 30th and 45th best resourced. That means that there are between 38 and 23 schools that are worse off than us.
Problem is, VT fans expect us to be a top 25 program year in/year out. The funding isn't realistically there for that goal, but we can/should definitely be better than we have the last 5 years.
Depends on how costly is too costly for ya. I've been happy with Dymatize Elite (especially the Pebbles flavors) since i started using this product. A large 5lb jug of that is going to run around $50-60 depending on where you shop, and you aren't concerned about the sweeteners that are added. Personally, I'm planning to switch to Naked Whey soon... the price is about 2x per pound compared to Dymatize, but the argument is that the absorption is significantly better which helps make it closer to a 1:1 cost per absorbed gram of protein.
Low or virtually non-fat yogurt can be made with only skim milk and cultures, so that is not ALWAYS the case, but reading the labels is great advice, as most yogurts add other ingredients for flavor, texture, or appearance. (I read the labels.) Almost everything in an individual serving size has other stuff in it. We still buy the whole milk (stony brook organic), as my wife prefers the taste and texture in her smoothies, but they make one that has Skim Milk as the only ingredient.
Honestly, that's what I'm hoping to see. Would love to see a spread offense evolve (successfully) at VT.
A quick AI questions gives the most common M last names in NJ as:
Miller, Martinez, Murphy, Martin, Moore, Moralis, Morris, Mitchell or Morgan.
Michael Moore maybe?
Going to Geneva next week for work. Won't be there long enough to do much other than wander around in the evening. Will be staying in the city center. Any restaurant recommendations? Also, wife is requiring I bring back chocolates, so any chocolate shop recommendations in the city center would be welcome as well!
Ha! I was thinking the same thing when I opened the thread
So you want to hire a sure thing... we don't have 'sure thing' money. There's at most 20ish 'sure things' out there, and for the most part they are rapidly climbing the ladder/chasing money.
But it seems like we do have money to hire an experienced coordinator. Neal Brown is just that. He spent 6 years as an OC (2 at Troy, 2 at Texas Tech, 2 at Kentucky, each time leaving for a promotion/raise). And he's been an HC ever since.
If we were getting him as an OC after his time at Kentucky, we'd be ecstatic. But he's been an HC since 2015 (including a pretty good 3 year stint as HC at Troy).
Hiring Neal Brown now would be like hiring Fuente as your OC now.
