# | Steven Godfrey suggesting that Pry's seat is much hotter than we think I mean, you're right though. Not so much a meltdown IMO, more that the opposing OC makes halftime adjustments based on what he saw from Marve's game plan. Marve seems to be incapable of making counter-adjustments and gets blasted every second half
Pierson Prioleau
The down side is not getting another 40 million if he'd continued to have a long and successful career. But, as for Pry, he wouldn't be getting the same level of buyout. And he has the same downside - greatly limiting future income by not performing well. Plus, if they're buddies, neither one would be doing the other favors by going down on a sinking ship together. Fuente made that mistake, let's hope Pry doesn't.
You are correct - our D was having their way with them in the first half. Better to try to get more points on the board before the obligatory 2nd half meltdown. /s (kinda)

Those cops were very outnumbered by very large, very strong men.
Lowest completion % is telling.

Hokies are the lowest rated P4 team in NET rankings and it's not close.
Woah woah woah fired? it was a "mutual agreement to part ways" 🤣
How much of the passing defense numbers was because anybody could run on us?
oh noes, only 21 mil, that's not enough to feed Latrell Sprewells family. That's a lot of money.
Getting to be an old school fart but 100 hundred percent agree - you can't completely destroy an outfit like SI and then try to rep the beloved brand. Just humiliating
Yes, but he may never have another coaching job in his life after being fired for incompetence mid season. Don't forget taxes ate at least 11 million of that.
Pop lock and drop it baby
And I'm LOVIN it
If there are my wife wants me to go to that bowl.
I GOTTA BE ME!

# | VT, UVa, UNC and NC State fined and reprimanded by the ACC for weekend fights For Lane stadium itself, I was only ever on the field for the 2007 win over FSU. Prior to that there was the 1983 Squeaker in 1983 at Lane NORTH where- after stomping them 48-0 -we tore down their goal post and carried it out of the stadium; and then at the first ever VT bowl win in the Peach Bowl at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium on Dec 31st beating NC State. (Ah, NYE in Atlanta was sweet that year!)
No one wants to fire their buddy, but when you have to, you want to make sure they're okay, cause they're going to be your buddy longer than you have the job. That doesn't mean he won't fire his buddy.
Fuente got $32 mil from VT and spent 6 years coaching with his best men. I dont see the down side
Usually. but IIRC UVA had under 100yds offense the 1st 1/2 and 3 pts. The defense was stopping them.
We were up 17-3 and were in absolute control.
I'd have rolled those dice that the def would get a stop and they might get into Love territory.
Seriously, you want the coach you recruit to feel good about his initial deal, or you'll immediately lose him if he works out. You can't start out with bad feelings about contractual issues, or it will surely not work out.
I get wanting to save money, but to some degree you have to play the game.
If there is a stat for conversion rates on 3rd and 7 or longer, I bet VT would not be highly ranked.

I don't think straight points per game ranking is that great of a stat. Teams like Jacksonville State, South Alabama, Texas State, North Texas, etc. all scored a lot of points, but who were they putting them up against? And some conferences (like the Big 12) seem to favor trying to outscore their opponents rather than play serious dense, so that skews things as well.
Regardless, looking at those rankings, I would say our offense is the problem. But watching games, and watching our offense and defense play, it felt like our offense wasn't the problem. Watching our D that could hold strong for awhile all of a sudden give up a bunch of big plays just felt inexplicable. And watching the games, it felt a lot more like our D was the problem, not our O. I know that's very scientific and technical, but it's not often you can give up 21or 28 points in the second half and win.
