Need a picture of the wife, to see if she's qualified.
After having 12 or so hours to process, my biggest question is around scheme - are we running Foster/Pry's scheme, or Siefkes's scheme or a mix ?
You don't hire this guy as DC if you're not using his scheme, but you also don't give Foster a coaching role if you're not using his scheme... so are they going to meld a gap fit/fill & spill with 3 high safeties? My purely speculative idea that these two mad geniuses are going into the lab to cook up something really unique.
I wouldn't say I'm optimistic about the hire, but I am quite intrigued.
This schedule has the same potential and let down as this past season. 6-6 to 9-3 is the range. This go around, W/L will be a much more contributing factor than this past season. Period.
Mixed emotions. He's has his +/-
I think he's a good a hire as the Hokies were going to get.
I think he has more upside potential than downside, so I'm good with the hire.
And.......I'm way more happy that the DC Discussion threads are now dead.
Agree that having Bud as a resource should be a huge bonus for someone this young stepping into this role. I just hope that Bud can focus on the processes of managing that side of the ball, the art of play calling, and being a sounding board, while letting Siefkes develop the x's and o's of an innovative scheme that isn't Foster 2.0 that's a decade outdated.
wasnt marve given a "good riddance" by the fsu fans? Seems like a very different situation here where all feedback on this guy is he has been successful everywhere so far on an upward trajectory
Louiseville -> FSU -> Miami is a tough three game stretch.
Can't see us winning more than 7 games.
This is the way.
Like it or not, it's what we do best at TKP!!
After seeing this staff squander multiple games this past year I just don't have much optimism even if the other team doesn't seem to be in a good place
The Cal game is Thursday or Friday so it'll be at night
all along I thought we might go G5 or NFL, so mine was a little better than that..."okay, cool,
let's see what he can do"
I think the underrated comment is that he's used to coaching guys getting paid (and players coming and going). I don't think he'll have any trouble handling the room.
4-8* with UofL being the only >1 score loss
All depends on Cal game time. If noon then 5-7
Good precognitive work.
Right but we don't have that yet so we have to judge them on stupid criteria for now!
Nobody should be stoked about any candidate until they see some results on the field.
That's where the criteria are.
But likewise, anyone who says "Meh, I'm not impressed" is using the wrong criteria.
being able to pitch the latest thing in NFL defensive trends will also help recruiting...
Yes, last two meetings we have gone there. 2018, 2023, now 2025. It's bs. FSU has played in Blacksburg a grand total of twice in the past 20 years. And we will have played there four times. #goACC
Thanks. That is a good perspective to know. It is such a known area of needed improvement that, at least in my mind, recruiting has become a big want with every new hire.
How tf does Florida state avoid playing us at home every time we play? We've gone there the last two meetings, correct?
I could still be angry and incensed in the Fuente era. I'm days away from total apathy now. Whitt and this hacky carpetbagger have pushed me this far.
For all we know, Pry decided he liked the guy 3 weeks ago, then proceeded to vet the hell out of him and talk to like 40 references to see what other people think of him and what he's capable of. Maybe he was chosen, and like I said elsewhere wanted to interview the guys currently on staff to see who he might want to replace.
Remember, we brought in all sorts of guys in on D in the portal, so maybe we had him then and waited for his birthday or his son's birthday to announce. Who knows - we sure don't.
We are all going to be majorly depressed after the first 2 games, but we might win a few after that. Hard to know, really.
Is this the first time Lousyville has come to Lane since joining the conference? I think it is. Wild that it's taken this long
6-6 is the new 9-3. it's sexy
So, LA, this is not meant to be a snarky comment. It is a serious question.
If Bowen is one of, if not the best, recruiter on staff...why only have him out there a couple months a year? If he is the best, he should be a road warrior, no? Seems like being in the ACC at the moment is like having one hand tied behind our back, we need our best guys meeting with recruits as often as possible.
Really appreciate your insight, btw.
