I'm rooting for him. I obviously don't know this for a fact, but if I had to guess, Cody is one of the only kids from Giles County to ever make it out on a D1 scholarship to a school like VT, and he just didn't have a hometown mentor because there had never been kids in that position before.
Regardless, I think he realizes that his football life isn't immortal and he is seeing that window closing. His film does look impressive as well. Hopefully he gets a chance.
I meant you have zero optimism in Bud succeeding as the VT head coach if he were to get the job at this point in time. I agree that Loeffler won't be here next season. His coaching abilities were extremely suspect to me from the very start. Sorry for calling you out, one thing that has irked me is that the same people who thought Loeffler was a good hire seem to overlap with people thinking that Bud should not get a chance at head coach. I could go back to those threads and find plenty more quotes from others but I really don't understand the thought process behind why everyone unanimously agrees that Bud is a great DC, but needs to prove himself before getting a chance at being the VT head coach when Loeffler was the exact opposite of being proven. I mean, why would anyone have more faith in Loeffler than Bud, and if you do, you should reevaluate your views on coaches.

# | Dan Wolken tweets Fuente to VT "is happening" but stops short of saying it is a done deal. I still like Matt Rhule and Tom Herman better... Still a good hire, and he reminds me a lot of Frank Beamer. Hopefully he can get the job done recruiting-wise, though.

Source must have meant Bud Selig.
Well if the last two or three times we discussed this particular confection on this very site didn't settle it, I don't think 3rd time will be the charm.

Mullen is the best proven head coach of all the names mentioned. I still think it is highly unlikely that it happens. I would be pleasantly surprised. Any hire of out of Mullen, Herman, Fuente, or Morris would be fine with me, especially if Bud is retained.
It may be the alcohol but what if Bud were the HC and Fuente makes the jump to P5 as OC? Cam Cameron makes 1.5 million / year at LSU.. Wonder if he'd consider it.
I know. I know. This is offseason talk.. but my heart and my liver can't handle this.
Edit: This was a stupid post. Make it stop.
Then let's start a fucking kickstarter or go fund me or whatever those damn kids are doing these days.
Bud and Morris have basically the same HC experience.
Morris is light years ahead as an OC.
Bud light years ahead as a DC.
Right now we prefer an OC oriented guy. And its not close. This is the key to restoring recruiting in VA.
Bud strolls in Whit's office tomorrow with Applewhite or someother up and coming OC...and they are telling the same offensive story and it makes sense is compelling to RBs WRs and QBs (don't forget the hog mollies or whatever people call them)...if Whit doesn't have a gentlemen's agreement... I think the decision gets a WHOLE lot harder.
Pie is better than cake. They should not be mixed.
Kbj gets it old school. The rest of you tweeters are lazy pikers.
YASS
Mullen it is!
Yeah, they don't have an AD or President. It has always made sense to extend Cubit.

# | Dan Wolken tweets Fuente to VT "is happening" but stops short of saying it is a done deal. I fully expect an announcement Monday/Tuesday. If not i'm camping outside Whit's office, i'll report anyone entering or leaving. I'm tired of this waiting game shit.


I didn't read all of this, but when I venture into a conversation about Bud "deserving" to be the next head coach, Randy Shannon is my person of comparison. Great DC at Miami, bad HC.
Great coordinator does not equal Great Head Coach.
In Whit I trust.
From the article...
It's a spiced poundcake with layers of pecan pie and pumpkin pie, topped with upside-down apple pie, slathered in cinnamon buttercream and edged in oat struessel
It's 3/4 pie to 1/4 cake. Why? Because even the Dodo Bird that thought this up knows that pie is better.

I'm #DCU4life but the last cap movie was just phenomenal.
Admittedly, I'm looking forward to the civil war movies...as they're going to include spidey (I believe starting in the second iteration)
