7-5 and the PR team acts like we made the playoffs.
Whoa, stop being reasonable. Hot takes only, please! /s
Sam Siefkes (SEEF-kiss)
I want a season that makes people pronounce it "Sam CHEFS-kiss."
Someone in my group chat brought this up too, I'm curious about how he made his way to interviewing in Blacksburg.
The smoke is a dress.
We'll finally know what it feels like to be an SEC school.

# | Dept of Ed: NIL payouts from school are "financial assistance" which are subject to Title IX. You're not wrong, but weren't there like seven sequels to that movie?
When money is involved...
The smoke is blue/black, not white/gold.
You gotta stay tough. Those Boston Terriers will get after you.
Thanks this legit made me laugh out loud
plot twist - it's the same color smoke but it just looks lighter because it's dark in the background as opposed to light
"Virginia Tech and Coach Pry are getting a remarkable leader in the coaching world," Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said. "Sam is a fantastic communicator, teacher and has unbelievable knowledge on how to stop offenses."
If all this is true, especially the part about teaching, then he can be successful. I still think the reason Scot Loeffler wasn't successful here is because he wasn't a good teacher of his knowledge. Is he a good motivator? Yes, which is why I think he's still doing great at Bowling Green. He probably also realizes that Bowling Green level is his ceiling and he better stay where he can be successful.
Story time!
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but these are confusing times.
The long defensive coordinator nightmare is over!
Long live the Defensive Coordinator!
Did this guy ever work with Arians? Is Siefkas a Bruce Arians recommendation? Just curious.

Leigh Fordham sold me out.
46 days and the coal ran out.
Please come round here another day.
Sit yourself down when you're ready to stay.
5 wins tops, IMO. Won't beat a P4 non con team.

Whit Babcock= 12D chess
As others have said, we all need to reckon with the fact that we are a lower-mid tier program in 2025.
If we want to be a top 20 team again, we need to win games. That's it. We win, and we attract more talent, better coaches, etc. which leads to more wins. It's a train on a circular track, and our train derailed a decade ago.
To get back on, at some point we've got to figure out how to win with less to work with. Maybe that means a DC with no P4 experience who was 5th or 6th down the list of candidates.
Don't get me wrong - I have zero faith in Whit Babcock or his leadership, and serious doubts that we will see success during his tenure. I think football under his supervision has become a complete fucking dumpster fire, and he is the common denominator along with some of the "old guard" still hanging around Merryman.
But I think a lot of our games have been very close to the kinds of wins I'm talking about - the kinds of wins we need to pull off while working with less. Pry was right to fire Marve because of this - over half of our losses were the result of his inability to adjust. All we can do is hope that this guy can do what Marve couldn't, despite the resume. At some point those close games either have to turn into wins for us and things start to turn around - or they don't, and we fall even further off the tracks and have to try to start over again with a new AD.
