I will selfishly hope for the Military Bowl (or whatever it is called now) since Annapolis is 45 minutes away...
I mean except for all the drinking yea great hire. I mean who wouldn't want this guy at practice?
I don't think the alums realize it yet, but this was probably a solid hire. They went with the guy who they trust to win them games, not the popular coach of the week. This is uncharted territory for USC.
My thoughts exactly, I expect 1-2 more mediocre seasons and by season 3 when he has all his recruiticorns and coaches in place for us to start really competing again. I would love to be pleasantly surprised but I expect more turmoil for a few seasons.
football is not the same as basketball. Also, Fuente is inheriting a much much nicer roster relatively speaking to what Buzz inherited. We have a bunch of talent on our football team. What Fuente inherited at Memphis is much closer to what Buzz inherited here. It took Fuente 3 years to build from 2 wins to 10 wins. I hope he doesn't have that much work to do in Blacksburg. I'm willing to give him all 6 years that he has signed up for but I'd honestly be surprised if we're not winning more than 8 or 9 games a season by 2018
I don't think this is out of the ordinary. The CEO should have full discretion.
I'm looking at this just as I did with Buzz. We know that CJF is a dynamic coach who wins but at the same time we know the caliber of players he, like Buzz, inherited. So, while I'm overly excited by what the future will bring, I will be happy with a scrappy team that plays all out for their new coach and maybe a modest improvement in the win column. I'm also hoping that he has some inroads recruiting in Tenn and Miss. Quite a few from Miss on the Memphis roster I noticed.
Hokies!!
wow, that's so typical. Everyone's supposed to be jumping and a ton of people are just standing there with their phones out filming it instead...
That is very exciting. I don't think I've ever finished above 0.500 before
And I am kinda worried he beat our new Coach earlier this year too, but then he did not have a Foster to stop the Triple Option...
CJF really threw me off so used to CFB
I keep reading on twitter that Shane and Kirby Smart work well together...I didn't know they ever had before.
Today is the official changing of the Guard at VT. Respect to Coach Beamer. Wish the Hokies well on improving the product.— cornell brown (@cobrown58) November 30, 2015
The disappointment of your work not being good enough at what you do stings and hurt but also makes me driven for opportunity to prove I am.— cornell brown (@cobrown58) November 30, 2015
Also, on his website/resume, his coaching experience at VT is 'ending' in 2015
Rumor has it that Shane is also being retained. If that's the case, then where's he going? Back to defense maybe?
EDIT: apparently that's not the case?
Drive for show. Putt for dough.
That was tOSU game. It definitely looked sweet on TV, if not on the scoreboard.
Hunley is their D-line coach in his 2nd year......loved him when he played for the Broncos.......
The Hokies have been bumped-up numerous time over the years into better bowls based on our traveling record. All I want is to go to a bowl and play a beatable opponent. I do not think we would fair well against LSU or OLd Miss.
Never heard of it...

Just try to minimize the Civil War references while we're at the dinner table, please.
Yeah, we're looking at this from the standpoint of "can he coach", but CJF was all about hiring the best recruiters at the presser.

Kind of hate that they didn't make the championship game, would've been nice to see the CFP committee sweating a little bit.
