I'm fairly confident that our offense will look significantly better next year. We have a bunch of talent. VT is an attractive job opening. I trust Whit to hire a guy who will be able to get the best out of our current roster. I'm pretty sure, with how soft our schedule is next year, that the next coach will be able to get this team to at least 9 wins next season. UT, UNC and ND are the toughest match-ups we have. The rest of our schedule is a cake walk for any of the top 5 or 6 coaching candidates on the market. With VT being a top 5 destination for a good coach that should put us in a pretty good position.

Obviously this is why they did.

I doubt very seriously if Bud will be HC at VT this year. I'm not convinced he'll even be retained. I'm preparing myself mentally for a Bud-less VT squad next year. I recommend you do the same. If he's retained, well, lucky us!

Yeah, to be honest a lot of what's being said about Fuente right now reminds me of what was said about bringing in Loeffler, which scares me.

Zimas and Winecoolers!

I've been trying to reason in my head Lefty's positives and negatives all season. His schemes are good. Play calling MOST of the time is great. Then the head scratcher occurs. Like the 2nd down play in OT: Travon going outside tackle to boundary side. We had been pounding Sam (when we did run the ball) all 4th quarter running N-S (yes he did go outside tackle some but he turned it up-field just about every time and he was successful for short yardage). We needed to get at least 2-3 yards min to get us to at least 3rd and very short. I did not understand Travon to the right side.
That play broke the bank for me. I didn't understand why that play, with that personnel, at that CRUCIAL time.

I thought that or the next play was the perfect time for the same play that got us the lead vs OSU - but what do I know on this topic... nothing.

Sorry Lefty, I think you have done VT a service and helped us transition from the Offense basement to the 1st floor, but we need to be on the rooftop. You have shown you can be a great QB coach. Circumstances didn't help you, but it is what it is. We all rise to our own level of incompetence.
Time for VT to move on offensively.....with Bud as HC!!

I grew up in Charlottesville. It has its perks. I hate the traffic though. And I live in NOVa now. Let me repeat those. I live in NOVa and I hate the traffic in Charlottesville. It seems to be worse every time I return. Every time. I'm not looking forward to driving down for Thanksgiving this year because my parents live about 2 miles away from the construction at Rio and 29. That's pretty much the only way home for me..so I'll have to deal with that bullsh**.

Otherwise, I don't really have much to complain about but it's not an area I see myself ever living in again. Nice to visit but I'm happier in NOVa. I will probably retire to a small town somewhere in Virginia. Somewhere kinda out in the sticks where it's quiet and has beautiful scenery.

ACC is pretty bad in terms of WR right now.

One continuing trend I've noticed, our communication sucks. It takes too long to communicate a play from the booth to the QB. And then, once the play has been called in, pre-snap adjustments get lost on at least one skill position player every snap. I can't calculate how many times I have seen a receiver with his hands in the air looking at either Brewer or the sideline two seconds before the snap. Now this could possibly be a came of rope-a-dope, where Lefty is intentionally having his player feign confusion the same way Jim Brown use the feign injury, but my gut tells me there are so many variables in a Loeffler play, not everyone can keep track of everything going on.

If you're a defender and you see your cover assignment throwing his hands up right before the snap, you have a pretty good idea the ball is most likely not coming his direction, seeing as though he has no idea what the hell is supposed to do.

They've already interviewed Lane Kiffin and Paul Pasqualoni. Is Barry Alvarez still in the running? Our sources say yes.

Scary stuff.

Actually, I heard that they will announce after the loluva game that Mike London will be the new HC and OC, and that he will be bringing in Al Groh as his DC.

I also heard, from the same source, that wearing a costume Superman cape will actually allow you to fly when jumping off of tall buildings.

i didn't understand why we didn't run up the gut more often. UNC showed 6 men in the box quite often. run at them. What happened to "taking what the defense gives you"?

To overcome talent issues...
