I'm still mad that we passed up the opportunity to call the Gregg Boone wildcat the thunderchicken and went with wild turkey instead.
If we go air raid can we please call it the flying gobbler offense?
But planning to defend an Air-Raid style offense that includes an above average mobility QB is a nightmare for a DC to try to plan for.
It seems Brown has molded the air raid scheme to his personnel wherever he has been. WVU ran a more run heavy variant of it the last several years with Greene. But definitely more wide open passing and better tempo than Bowen.
But with scheme change I wouldn't rule out attrition. I also wonder if it does end up being Brown if we couldn't poach some additional players/staff from WVU. If you're Marchiol and your former HC is now OC down the road at VT running the scheme you're familiar with, that may be very tempting over an unknown with Rich Rod.
Do I think he's an upgrade from Bowen. Probably. Does he excite me no not really.
Also pop or drones running the air raid would be quite weird.
Very surprised at one very conspicuously absent name that i was certain would be mentioned as a candidate by now -- Egbert
Nope!
A whole lot of smoke around Neal Brown. Not going to lie, that would be a great hire and makes a ton of sense on multiple levels, especially with Matt Moore and several of his OL now in town.
Couple of interesting notes/connections about Brown that I didn't realize previously:
Matt Moore and Brown are apparently very close, some WVU sites refer to them as best friends actually. Worked together at Texas Tech, Troy, and WVU.
Brown was OC at Texas Tech 2010-2012 and his first recruit/commit was none other than Michael Brewer. Apparently knows the Brewer family well.
Brown played at Kentucky under Hal Mumme/Mike Leach/Tony Franklin and comes from that air raid coaching tree. Bud Foster and Tony Franklin are close and played together at Murray State.
Tom C?
I was thinking he had until 2026 anyway.
But with changing out both the OC and the DC, it makes even more sense.
Anybody tracking flights this weekend?
Does Ted Lasso's Premier League schedule conflict with ours?

Hokietopher : Ever since Coach Fuente fired him, his confidence has been shattered.
HokieAlum6144: Why'd you say that name? You promised me you would never say that name!
Hokietopher : What, Fuente?
HokieAlum6144: Aahaahh!
Hokietopher : Fuente! Fuente! Fuente!
HokieAlum6144 : I'm not listening
Without any real marquee wins to hang their hat on, the home losses to UVA and now Syracuse combined with the home blowout loss to FSU have likely sealed their NCAA tournament fate. I just hate that another injury has hit this team that already had a short and inexperienced bench. The injury to Suffren has impacted our perimeter defense and ability to penetrate defenses and losing Micheaux obviously limits our size and ability to defend in the paint. Really tough for the girls who stuck with VT and for CMD who is really doing a great coaching job IMO.
Maybe Bowen's route tree didn't match our WRs strengths?
Not just Caleigh. The whole team gets really careless with the ball at the worst possible times.
Nah, winter workouts need to be like the weed-out courses. Find out who is going to put in the work. We have lost the S&C battle for a decade now

Sorry. Couldn't resist. From our visit to PR last year.
Carys is quietly our best player this year.
Unfortunately Carleigh is good for at least 3-4 horrible passes a game. She also apparently has trouble with simple layups.
You can tell Carys and Carleigh really care... Not the defense we needed tonight but really encouraging fight from a very young roster tonight
Let's get to work!
Losing Rose while also facing probably the tallest team in the ACC didn't help.
