Too bad Belichick was hired at UNC need be a great DC for us.
Humans got COVID and College Football got NIL. Ever since 2020 life has gone downhill!
We are so back!!
When does the season start?!?!?

Perhaps this is the reason for the defense guys heading to the portal?
Well, our portal makes a lot more sense now.
Sorry, but I want an experienced coordinator even if it is from a non-P4 school. Don't get me wrong, love JC, but now is the time to bring in someone that has done it before. JC promotion would just be a Hamilton redo and we deserve better.
I want JC to have success, but this isn't the move right now. Maybe he can take that role at Marshall if the new DC doesn't want to retain him.
Pry sounds suspiciously like dcWilson. Coincidence? I think not.
Let's gooooooo!
I know it's a Weaver move, but give JC a chance at DC.
He's earned it.
Wow, we did the thing. That must've been one hell of a meeting Pry and Whit had.
Okay well those were all needed.
Color me nervous to have yet another OL coach.
BREAKING! 🚒🚨
File that under things I did not expect to see. Wow.
All of this - we have arrived at a place where regular fans with jobs paying in the thousands are being asked to fund the compensation for players most of whom are also being paid in the thousands, while the top conferences take in billions and even the ACC is paid hundreds of millions. It's perverse.
Long term one of two things will happen.
Option 1: College Football remains a cartel, controlled by a few interests with a lopsided labor market. Interest drops out as the lack of structure tanks the competitive appeal for all but 20-ish teams who form their own division of the sport. The rest of the programs starve and I get another hobby.
Option 2: Substantial reform. Players form an association and receive a significant fraction of the value generated by television viewers and advertisers. A competitive structure is formed with rules bargained between the universities and the players association that deals with the allocation of compensation, talent, rules for treatment of contracts, endorsements, etc.
Option 2 is the better and sustainable model. Option 1 is the more likely model, in part because of what I started with above. People are so fucked off at the concept of sharing the big pie that they'd rather everyone get none of it but like 20 people.
It sucks.
If you have your AD, your university president, and your BOV pulling in 3 different directions (sound familiar) you have no chance of sustained success. The problem with Virginia Tech right now is that there is no shared vision for the university.
Guitarman (VT employee who has talked to president sands about this many times) seems to feel that he understands the importance of football. So take that for what it's worth 🤷♂️
I think there was a comment or article posted here recently of the new GT AD calling high net worth alumni and they responded with "I was waiting when someone would call me."
That was probably me. My in laws are connected at GT, the old AD was doing a terrible job.
Now I have no idea if that is the case with us or not but I just don't buy the claim that since we don't have a law school or medical school our alumni base is too poor to donate
I agree... I too dont buy the prestige-grad-school argument. I can speculate all day, but I don't know what the actual reason is.
