State employees receive free tuition for their children at their institution if not other in state schools as well.
Also, I automatically assume that all football coaches' wives don't work. I obviously know that this isn't the case for every coach but if I were a betting man, my odds would be right a majority of the time.
I make this assumption not because of the salary that their husbands are making but because of the commitment the wives have to make to be flexible and ready to pack up and move at a moment's notice.
It's really hard to have a career if you're constantly moving across the country.
I think St. Louis Hokie was asking how often Saban/Jimbo/Harbaugh bring their entire staff to a coaching clinic.

Give it to us!
Hooker going deep again and again.
Until adjustments are made, I expect nothing different than Hooker ramming the hole over and over again. Taking full advantage of his opponent's interior defense.
Y'all aren't even ready for what French and Mason have cooking for you this offseason.
It's a pretty safe assumption, I believe. (Not that I have any direct knowledge of their family situation). I think that most spouses of big-time college football coaches don't have a career. Division I college coaches make more than enough money to support the family, and tend to work insanely long hours, as well as doing a lot of traveling. If there are kids in the house, as is the case with the Stinesprings. somebody has to take care of the things like the house, the bills, the kids, etc. that the coach doesn't have time to offer much help with. There really aren't a whole lot of fulfilling careers out there that offer the kind of scheduling flexibility that a coach's spouse would need.
It put me over the top too. Outstanding work!

This has absolutely nothing to do with gender or personal aspirations.
If I lived in SW Virginia and my wife made 200K, then I would definitely be a stay-at-home-dad and find some hobbies to enjoy, instead of sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours a day. But maybe some people want to sit in a cubicle.
What I was saying, if one spouse is making 200K, it isn't like a second income is needed to get by. Especially in Blacksburg.
This right here makes me kind of glad Torrian is getting some experience outside of the Beamer coaching tree. Stinespring was the only one of the previous coaching staff to only have experience under Beamer and he is the only one who didn't land somewhere roughly equivalent.
why would she if your husband is making 200K+ in Blacksburg?
Because she has personal aspirations? Why make the assumption she doesn't work? Maybe make the assumption she doesn't currently have work in Harrisonburg with the recent move, but I wouldn't assume she doesn't work.
Shane and Johnny too. Didn't see them busting up before.
We will all miss his recruiting the AAU circuit if he indeed does leave the program. Chew has a huge network in that world.
I thought it was about a QB named Hendon

Great KP quote
My favorite has always been,
"..a true champion, face to face in his darkest hour will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, fights, and fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies."
He has two girls who are getting ready to start college this is going to hurt.
hmm... not quite right. How about:
Hooker has taken a pounding all night, but nothing can stop Hooker from scoring!"
Harrisonburg, VA:
Average Household Income = $62,883
Median Household Income = $48,619
Assuming Stiney's wife doesn't work (and why would she if your husband is making 200K+ in Blacksburg?), then they will be making $12,883 less than the average home in that area.
I'm hoping that he has some money saved but if he doesn't, then some major lifestyle changes will be needed. Mostly because you'd have to live the life of a rockstar to not have any money saved with a 200K salary in SW Virginia.
As the wife to a VSP Trooper, very classy indeed! My thoughts are constantly with the ever thinning thin blue line.

Since when!! My mom has worked for VCU since 1976 and I had to pay tuition!
