Just so we can go back down the list

1) Boundary corner Harris as playing off man and the quick curl was open all game. CHECK
2) Harris was susceptible to the double move CHECK
3) Delay blitz by the mike linebacker was a problem. CHECK

Why is it that Shane gets all the blame for not playing mcmillian early but doesn't get any credit for his progression?

It's not just that Shane didn't play Mcmillian early, it's that his rotation never made sense. A snap here for JC, a snap there for Trey, a jet sweep for Travon, etc.

I never felt that Shane put one of his guys in a consistent position to succeed until literally everyone but JC got hurt last year, and until Frank Beamer stepped in earlier this season and said "Travon is our guy moving forward".

Tyrod did pretty good against the Pats again. Unlike Brady he didn't throw a single INT the entire game.

Hopefully whatever bowl we get, the team can nab another W to send him swaggin all the way to the bank and retirement!

Good decision. They currently have the number one recruiting class in the country. Firing him would have been a mistake.

I would say a major portion of Memphians are Tennessee fans with Ole Miss, MS St., and Arkansas rounding out a majority of favorite teams around here. I occasionally see a Hokies logo around and I feel proud. I've been known to chase someone down in order to have a conversation with an intelligent person. That being said though I think Memphis is well represented here but much of that has to do with basketball.

People still hate him for his OC days. But really he and Shane are easily our best recruiters, and I don't have much to complain about our tight ends this year, or our depth at tight end, or our tight end recruiting. Malzahn apparently tried to take him last year, I just think if someone on our offensive staff should stay it should be him

to call him an underwhelming recruiter is silly

Not if you had much higher expectations for him coming into the program.

If I'm easily the best football program in my state, and I have easily the best facilities in the state, and I hire a running backs coach who proceeds to struggle year after year to establish a coherent running back rotation... I'm going to be pretty underwhelmed by that guy's recruiting if he has Shane Beamer's W-L record on the recruiting trail. In the coaching game, if you aren't a great tactician or developer of talent, you damn well better recruit.

It's not just the talent he's brought in, it's all the talent that has left the state under his watch. If I am being very generous, I would say that Shane has met my expectations as a recruiter. If I think about all the talent that Tech has missed out on, I could easily say I've been underwhelmed.

That twitter handle does that pretty frequently. They are always tweeting at recruits.
