No but our ST coordinator still will lol

And there it is.....

easy money.easy. under

Same

I honestly don't think I've watched a single minute of men's hoops at all this year. That's how much I've checked out.

Have to disagree with you on this. I found the side tracks on the DC Discussions threads much more amusing than work, and am concerned we are about to enter the "dead period" of offseason. Really not in the mood to talk about mens shooty hoops since we decided to pull the rug out from under it. My first real perspective on what it's like to be a LOL football fan.

The old Scott Loeffler effect?

Lose to ODU at home and some fans will have a hard time with forgive and forget. Add losing badly to two conference teams with bad records - NCST and FSU - will have some calling for a change. Looking like we can't complete with a mediocre L'ville team? But yes, we beat Miami, LOL, and improve W/L and I'll be happy.

I think Bowen's biggest issue on offense is how dreadful the offensive line has been, and coupled with that fact that he's bound and determined to run a heavy downhill, between the tackles run game with an awful OL. The offense can be explosive and put up points quickly, but it's not efficient and can't control the clock and stay on the field with any consistency. Also the QB position hasn't developed as well as we had hoped, but with a more effective run game I think it helps the pass game as well.

I really think Moore will help significantly with the OL issues. But how quickly he can work wonders is the question. Pry IMO has this year to earn an extension. If not he's probably gone after 2026.

Bowen's first year, though....was....woooof

but his offense has looked at least serviceable the last couple years. I still think VT could get a better OC but Bowen is fine. Just fine. He's not Cornelsen bad. He's not Chip Kelly good. We can score points. His scheme seems to mostly make sense. For the most part, he builds the offense around the personnel. There are occasions where I scratch my head. Like, why does the best player on the team only have 3 touches by half-time in a critical game against a rival?

I don't hate the Siefkes hire. I don't love it. I think he needs to prove himself faster than Bowen did, though, if he's going to keep his job longer than a year or two. Pry's putting all his chips on Siefkes, essentially. If the defense turns around and plays good solid football next season and we win 8+ games then I think Pry earns an extension. If not, well, I think he should be let go. Whether or not that actually happens remains to be seen. I think there are still a lot of local politics at play in VT football and, frankly, I think that's holding us back but there's not much that can be done about it, sadly.

Just between Foster and Pry there is A TON of college DC experience. The three of them should be able to come up with something over the summer. Scheme has not been an issue as much as role execution and in game adjustments.

This guy knows how to polytech.
