CONFIRMED by @CoachFuente
Hokies' defensive line will continue to be coached by @coachwiles

I think he meant the @beamerball twitter handle has been picked up by some random person, not Guerry handling the vt handle
He means this guy: https://twitter.com/beamer_ball
Thomas Guerry is the director of high school relations. So not a random guy.
ND & FSU are irrelevant. Both will have one two less wins than UNC (if UNC wins) and a loss to Clemson. UNC will leapfrog them easily if they win.
But getting into the top 4 might still be difficult.
Some more scoop on the UVA coaching search that would rule out Mike Sanford if true

Cornell :)
oh snap! well done.
What's funny is their website shows the latest tweets from Mr. Anderson (@beamer_ball), the guy who just took the handle, and there is a big fat "Hello!" tweet sitting down there. Hope they clean that up quick. They're lucky Mr. Anderson hasn't tweeted out anything blasting the Hokies or anything explicit in nature.

# | OT: Spurrier's "Open Letter" to USCe Fans (and a possible jab at CFB) Spurrier abandoned his team because he had no stake in them, didn't care anymore, and was worried about himself more than his players. Anyone who has ever spent years building or organizing something and then has to hand it off knows how hard it is to let go of all that work and pride you have poured in, always wanting just a little more time to perfect it. Spurrier was selfish, Frank was selfless.
At what point does moving defensive coaches to offense hurt the defense though? Offensive staff already outnumbers defensive 5-4, not including the hc
I'm glad VT didn't do that, but I'd love for Shane to head up another program, and eventually meander back to VT when it makes sense.

# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song Didn't we miss an early FG against UNC and then ended up going into OT? So if Slye hits that one we beat UNC so I don't know if the offense didn't do enough to win the game.
It would be difficult to leave Mississippi State, a real football program that's competitive in the SEC, for UVa. I mean, why would a coach do that if they weren't forced out?

# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song The whole uniform was fantastic. It wasn't screaming for attention and when you did notice it, there is nothing not to like. It should be promoted from "throwback" to "normal. This uniform and all maroon would suffice for this hokie...
Link for PR thread?
I disagree about Mullen, I have read that he enjoys being in Starkville and at Miss State and I don't see him leaving for awhile. He was my top choice for Tech, but I think it's also going to be hard to up the ante with his paygrade at Mizzou or UVA.

# | Can We Talk About How Good Our New Special Teams Coach, James Shibest, Is Going To Be? I don't know how many yards it went for, but that's a hell of a punt with Oakman bearing down on you like that. Granted, the punter isn't exactly a small guy himself... He's got a little bit of the Nic Schmitt thing going for him

# | Can We Talk About How Good Our New Special Teams Coach, James Shibest, Is Going To Be? also, in the video, wouldn't it be legal regardless since he still had the ball when the D made contact?
And Dykes hates it at Cal. So, that would give him some reason to leave but he should probably pick a place that isn't so pretentious to move to.
1) Call Recruit
2) Hit pound button, say "You!" really loud
3) Hang up
4) Feel good about self
5) Take nap Call Timeout
And we should all be thankful for it
Beamer made the decision, and announced it early, because he didn't want to divide Hokie Nation, not because he wanted a farewell tour.
The farewell tour just sort of came together both spontaneously and will a little help from Whit and the VT organization and fan support.
The farewell tour was organic, not fabricated. Beamer got it for 29 years of service. He did a lot for VT, and we all recognize that. Spurrier wouldn't have gotten the same treatment, no matter how carefully they'd have tried to orchestrate it.
🏈 STICK IT IN! 🏈

# | OT: Spurrier's "Open Letter" to USCe Fans (and a possible jab at CFB) Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!
Brohm looks like a possible candidate, but has at least two schools interested.
