I've read French's review of the Hokie Offense rather intently this year. For whatever reason, in my eyes it looks like Loeffler never gelled as the "manager". His play designs, ability to motivate, coach up the quarterback, etc. all seemed to be above average - but it's like there was always a disconnect between the OC and Shane, or Grimes/Searels.

I know this is oversimplification at it's best - but it's like he was so into coaching the quarterbacks and designing the game plan, he forgot to be the boss of the other parts of his offense. There can be coordination, communication, and trust but nothing replaces the fact the "boss" has to be both a manager and a leader for everyone on that side of the ball. I think this shows in the comments from Brewer in the UVA post-game, where he anticipated getting pounded, I heard that and went "whaaaaaaaaa??????????".

I nominate MB to play Rocky in the next 8 films, because he's the epitome of...

CONFIRMED by @CoachFuente

@togray14 will serve on his staff as #Hokies secondary coach.

I agree. In the past when Fuente's offenses have had lots of success they have had very good QB play. See Andy Dalton at TCU and Paxton Lynch the last two seasons. Hopefully he will be able to get Lawson and or Motley or whoever the starter is to play at a high level. I think we have enough talent around the QB to see an increase in offensive production from the last several years, but if the QB can't get the ball accurately on time where it needs to go it doesn't matter too much how much talent you have.

Grimes was a big loss. He was "Running Game Coordinator," which would have been helpful to have when we had actual RB's.

Ok so all coaches. I thought there was some new rule.

I have been screaming for the white face mask for the last 3 years. I love them.

I would note that the offense scored 43 points versus Duke in one of those losses. Again, I think a change was needed, but lets not let a contrived narrative overshadow actual reality.

I think ultimately, Loeffler would be well suited as an NFL quarterback coach. The poor offensive performances this season came with a backup QB. There were some serious situational gaps in the running game, yet in the games Brewer started, the offense was good enough to win every game that Brewer started with the exception of UNC. He upgraded the talent significantly from the 2012 team.

If he is to be damned, it was situational passing game play calling and the complete lack of rhythm with the run game. He needed a strong run game coordinator (I continue to point out that paired with Grimes at Auburn, even with a bad QB they rushed for 6 ypc.)

Technically my favorite is Lexington style - which is not really 'eastern' NC.

Although 12 Bones in Asheville, NC is by far my all time favorite.

Unfortunately this snippet from your link is really the only information out there:
"News Note: South Carolina representatives have reached out to Beamer in the last 24 hours concerning the Gamecocks job."

No follow up, no explanation, and it's several days old now; no one else seems to be reporting it.

Now Chris Low and others are floating him as a potential candidate:

If Gamecocks are going to hire a coordinator, why not @CoachSBeamer? Look at the players they pulled in when he headed up recruiting.— Chris Low (@ClowESPN) December 2, 2015

On the bright side, no where has anyone had anything negative to say about Shane when his name gets brought up; lots of "oh wow I didn't think of that" curiosity, though, and discussion of what he could coordinate in someone else's regime.

I think we should go for it on 4th & short more often then we do!

Umm what?
