# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song Oh gosh he had a clear path to the end zone the second he got past the linebacker
My Hope for 2016: Fuente puts the players in position to succeed and the offense comes out firing and stuns teams early in the season with tempo and schemes we're not used to seeing in Blacksburg. The QB gets eased into the starting role with easy quick short passes and leaning heavily on a strong running game early in the year. As the year progresses the passing game improves as the QB becomes more comfortable and later in the season we're able to hit long critical plays off play action. VT storms out to a 10-0 start and becomes a dark horse contender for the CFP.
My Expectation for 2016: The offense struggles early in the season with new QB play and a different scheme and concepts. We start the season 1-3 or 2-2 and rely heavily on the defense to keep us in contention in the coastal division through October. VT finishes the reg season with 7-9 wins and a bowl game. The offense shows signs of progress each week.

# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song best radio call I ever listened to
If a WR runs a route and nobody throws to him, does the defense even need to cover him?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the dearth of catches by receivers not named Ford or Phillips is more a factor of not being targeted rather than drops/defensive plays. So yes, they may have been on the field, but as really ineffective decoys/blockers, more often than not.*
*this statement made completely devoid of hard stats, just my general feeling from watching the games this year.
Since red lines supposedly indicate HC to coordinator moves, somebody must be floating a rumor that Spurrier could be the new OC at Aggy? I'm guessing that the smiley emoji means that it's just a joke or a pipe dream from the map's creator.

# | Can We Talk About How Good Our New Special Teams Coach, James Shibest, Is Going To Be? In Stroman's defense, it wasn't like he was turning the ball over. Should most of them have been a fair catch? Yes, but if he didn't catch them and let them bounce, then our field position would have been a lot worse this year.
I rather he lose 3 - 5 yards, in attempt to make a play, than let it bounce and it goes another 10 - 15 yards further.

# | Can We Talk About How Good Our New Special Teams Coach, James Shibest, Is Going To Be? Meh, that was close to being legal in my book. Rugby style kickers have a disadvantage because they can run out of the tackle box. He (and his 3 protectors) run to his left - the two defenders in the clip are actually outside the tackle box when he kicks it.
That's ridiculous. You can take years off recruiting OL. Just recruit a load of DL and TE's and send the leftovers to OL when needed. /s
Edit: Doh! You said that right there on the bottom....
ehhh...bye now

# | Loeffler's Adjustments Help Fuel a Victory in Beamer's Commonwealth Cup Swan Song I still partially believe Lefty wasn't totally set up to succeed. I think he isn't a fit for Hokie Nation, but I'm sure other coaches are reviewing game film and he will be picked up.
We may not think he is great, but he wasn't fired. So many other schools would be thrilled to have a coach like him.
Correct. He took over the co-OC job this year when CJF decided to focus on HC duties. I'm going to assume he'll be co-OC here with CJF for a year or so before CJF relinquishes the reins.
They probably wouldn't earn their bowl game incentive bonuses to start. While there isn't a huge amount of incentive, I would imagine any of the coordinators we have left aren't likely to land high pressure HC gigs either, so their need to be with a new job ASAP is likely much lower than say if one of them was offered a HC position.
Plus I imagine many of them want to coach their last game with the kids they've recruited developed spent years with as well before they have to leave.

# | Reports: Torrian Gray Will Be Retained on Justin Fuente's Staff I've never said I'm not a shameless attention seeker.
Man, I'm still thinking Dickey. Dude doesn't seem to want to be a HC anymore based on his resume. Probably medical reasons as to why he doesn't want to be "the man". Anyway, I'd love to have him here as well. Helped running game everywhere he's been. I think Cornelsen stays on as OC with Memphis and Dickey comes to Blacksburg.
And Emma gifs
Haha, yeah, I checked other threads but I also tried to embed a tweet that VT Football and Hokiesports both removed. Then I found the original one.

# | Reports: Torrian Gray Will Be Retained on Justin Fuente's Staff Curses, beaten by a few seconds...enjoy the following GIF instead:
There's a really nasty echo in this thread...
In Fuente's 3rd year as OC for TCU the offense averaged 40.8 points with Pachall, not Dalton. They had 231.6 passing yards per game and 208.6 rushing yards per game. 350 passing attempts and 532 rushing attempts. I think there is evidence he can get it done without an NFL bound QB.
Granted, I'm not sure if Pachall would have been drafted if he hadn't gotten a DWI and left TCU.
