I have a lot of respect for Scot Loeffler, I thought he was an incredibly intelligent and dedicated coach. He was a major upgrade over O'Cain/Stiny before him. Virginia Tech was lucky to have him.

He definitely got thrown into a difficult situation, having three different starting quarterbacks in three years is a major challenge. He was a plus in the recruiting department, bringing sought after recruits in Brewer, (Andrew) Ford, Durkin, McMillian and Lawson (and from what I've heard, Josh Jackson aka Charlie Conway is going to be an excellent locker room guy/potential starting QB for us, I believe he has Sam Rogers potential). Most importantly, I really felt like he cared about his players.

I hope he gets another shot being an OC as a major program. He's definitely an OC that needs position coaches that are strong in teaching fundamental concepts and technique. He needs a HC with enough patience to let him install his offense. Wish nothing but the best for him.

I rarely ever post here, but I lurk often and read the insight provided by others. While I think you were originally attempting to add to the conversation, you have grown extremely condescending and arrogant. I do not subscribe to paysites (ie 247), but your links to articles add no value here and I agree with what others have said, it does come off as trying to advertise for them, as if you work there.

Frankly, I've grown tired of seeing your inflammatory posts litter the boards.

No, we don't want premium info for free.

But if you're going to post a link, then it needs to be worth my time to click on it. If I click on it and just see ten images of "VIP Access", that doesn't do anything for me, and doesn't aid in the discussion. On top of it, the text you put in the link isn't descriptive enough. So, it's just clickbait.

The difference there is the quality of roster we are trying to compare. You had a National Championship type roster full of experienced players that have other experiences to fall back on to see the difference and learn a great deal from losing to us.

In this case you have a roster of first or second year players that it was readily apparent were not figuring it out in this game that dont have the experience of an UNC roster to balance it against. I dont think its a learning environment when you continue to let the game go 100 mph for these guys when you have the opportunity to pull them back out, point out a few basic corrections, and then see if they learned from it.

I have more of a problem with the roster that was on the floor though. When its obvious the opponent is using size against us and we fail to put out our bigger lineup to counteract whats allowing them to score consistently throughout the game than I put it on the coach rather than the players. No way Seth Allen should have ever been lined up against Bembry but it happened at least four times in the game and led to three scores.

Oh I get it you guys want premium info for free then when you get it, you bitch about it saying CZY and Evan don't have sources.

Then I give the links and you guys are mad I didn't write it up where you can read it.

Funny, it's right here:

Respect the signal to noise ratio. In other words, don't post or comment or topic for the sake of it. Don't post comments that require further (missing) explanation. You don't have to be an essayist, but a few well-thought out sentences generally contributes to the discussion better. If you're referencing a Tweet, article or YouTube video, link or embed it. Provide a source. Explain why someone should click on link. Enhance the conversation. Make sure your comment is thorough to the point where everyone else contributing to the thread understands it. Don't deal in riddles or mystery. Brevity can be fine as long as there is context.

As I recall, I wrote that particular Guideline.

Then since it isn't against rules I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Since you are only policing because there are some cry babies on this board, that are mad I won't give them the scoops I pay for, for free. You can't pick and choose your targets, I will stop posting the links when there are clear guidelines and rules against it and every other pay site link has been taken down and not allowed on this board.

At this point it's just about you guys ganging up on someone cause you aren't getting your way. I'm guessing since you chumps are bullies on the keyboards you were most likely bullied in school.

Houston is definitely top 5. Probably not the best, but top 5.

I would argue public money or student fees.

I just skimmed the article, but I'd imagine the majority of the funding is coming from donations, no? Clemson actually has a really cool student donor club called IPTAY (I Pay Ten A Year). It's was originally a $10 fee (now it's more I think), and students get 'donor' perks (Source: 4 of my good friends are Clemson grads). I don't think Clemson has mandatory athletic fees.

Unpopular Opinion: I think it's absolutely ridiculous that schools are able to charge students hundreds of dollars in athletics fees when the majority of students do not regularly (if at all) attend sporting events. If I didn't attend any sporting events but still had to pay athletic fees down at Clemson, this would light a fire under my ass.

It just the way things work, whether it be taxes or athletic fees - everyone is force to pay so we can improve quality of life for the majority. If you don't want to pay athletic fees, than select a university where athletics are less of a focus, or a fee isn't charged.

How would you compare that coaching strategy to what Roy Williams does when things start going south by allowing the team to figure it out on their own? I remember in particular when we knocked them off when they were #1 in Cassell where we went on a 20-30 point run and he didn't call a timeout because he trusted them to pull it together on their own, and the long term gain from allowing that meant more than the short term benefit of telling them what to do and saving the win.
