I hope he stays in the NFL and sucks, goes to the SEC and sucks, or heads back west and, well, you know. I'm not a fan of what he did to the Eagles.

Hmm, however you raise an interesting point. Then it would seem that it's between Lawson and Evans.

Increased giving one level. Since Whit has come Hokie Club numbers have actually increased each year. With Fuente coming onboard I think the growth will be even bigger, the struggle will be to keep those numbers up.

Do you all think Lawson could get a redshirt next year? Assuming Evans or Motley win the job.

To be fair Park was planning on coming to VT once he went the JUCO route

Yeah, I trust him too. I guess I wouldn't be completely surprised if it were Motley since Fuente seems to have a thing for big hulkin QBs. That said, I would REALLY like to see what he can do with Lawson.

Absolutely agree. And it really isn't hard to figure out what. Mike was a straight liability for the first several games. Motu was in over his head. Down the stretch he came on a bit, but was still hit and miss.

That weakness was exacerbated by an inability for our front four to get consistent pressure on the QB without blitz help. It's an ongoing theme, but it seems like whenever we express excitement over how good our DL is going to be, they wind up really disappointing us during the season.

In 2016, a revamped front four will be critical in righting the ship. If we can consistently get pressure on the QB without bringing extra pass rushers, it will open up a lot of options for Bud. Motu has to take the next step and find more consistency. And Mook, Alexander and Terell all have to continue their quick learning curve to become a core of the defensive backfield next season. But while it seemed like Motu was to blame for the majority of our defensive woes, I think it was a much bigger problem that our DL just wasn't generating pressure on opposing QBs.

There where other Force users before the Skywalkers, why not after them too.

I think because supposedly all of the Jedi were extinct and Luke and Leia, the offspring of Anakin, were the only remaining Force Users. There are some problems with this premise though. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda were not extinct. They were strong force users. After Luke's failed attempt to train his nephew he vanished and nobody could find him for years. That leads me to believe that other Force Users from Anakin's generation could have 'vanished' as well and were just thought to have been extinct when really they were just in hiding. I think you're right that there could be non-Skywalker Force Users in the universe but we're led to believe there are none. I think the ambiguity there opens some doors to all sorts of possibilities for Rey's bloodlines. I think it's so painfully obvious that Rey is Luke's daughter that the second movie could easily reveal something entirely different. It'll be interesting to see, that's for sure.

They have looked like idiots to me for years now. Can't believe they ever hired this guy. IMHO, he was never an NFL coach.

What's the word on Baylor's QB health situation? If they are running the single-wing with that receiver at QB I'm not sure they stand much of a chance against a healthy UNC.

edit: this is the stupidest thing I have ever said and I want Briles to come run that single wing variant in Blacksburg.

If it's ACC, BC could be an opening next year, although Addazio is well liked up there. The coastal for the most part is set, unless Cutcliffe retires, or PJ has another bad year. GT would at least have players in a spread option at his disposal.

"Top" jobs that could be open next year as of now: Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, LSU, USCw, Oregon.

Yeah, we also don't have an OC/QB coach, but we had #sauces for Cornelsen. We'll probably know everything by tomorrow, since Memphis has their bowl game today.
