# | Hokies Nearly Earn Storybook Lane Ending for Frank Beamer, Drop Home Finale to UNC 30-27 in OT It's fun to talk about...but I'm starting to grow weary of the discussion. The overconfidence in each rumor baffles me. At first it was exciting but I'm starting to get to the point where I wish they would just name the next coach already so we can start analyzing his background and doing deep dives into film reviews of teams he's coached. This speculation step is tired and we need to get to that next step soon.
all that being said, I think we can all be happy that Christmas is coming to Blacksburg early this year :D
Navy at Houston PK
Baylor -1.5 at TCU
Ohio State at Michigan -2.5
Ole Miss -1.5 at Mississippi State
Notre Dame at Stanford -3.5
Florida State -1.5 at Florida
Oklahoma -4.5 at Oklahoma State
As a fan, I'm enjoying the ride and discussion myself. However, there are plenty of advantages to Virginia Tech having its coach in place sooner rather than later.
Hokiesports bumps your yards per catch avg. to 27.5....may not include the bowl game. I miss those snaps from UNDER CENTER to play-action bombs.
It is still called the Andre Davis play to me and my friends.
I have never seen a player repeatedly stretch a field like he did. You knew he was trying to get behind the defense and they still could not stop him.

The pick six comes to the last week..
Navy PK
Baylor -1.5 --- Bears still have a chance to play for
Ohio State +2.5 --- Still big talent gap
Mississippi State +1.5
Stanford -3.5
Florida State -1.5 --- The SEC east is really bad
Oklahoma -4.5 --- Baker Mayfield is that dude
Fret not! There's still hope!
Bruce Feldman/Stewart Mendell discussed Beamer potentially joining the selection committee next year. Perfect opportunity for him to talk about all the teams that will get after ya.
Add has Lawson with that dialed in cannon throwing to him...
Well he was asking for a high five and Fuller obliged...
Check the video I posted below - I'm not sure there is anything "unintentional" about the swat...

Vick to Davis. No sweeter words that season on a pass play.

He has more yards and TD's on fewer catches than Boyd. I think his profile will be huge next year.
IDK, I think Fuente still fits the bill. The recruiting prowess is kind of subjective and we're not sure what this guy's definition of good recruiting is. Fuente might be an ace recruiter in his mind even if he isn't in the minds of others. I think that the QB Coach / Spread Offense tags indicate that this guy doesn't have as much of a defensive background which is why I think it eliminates the defensive coaches (Smart, Miles)
I'm fanning the flames a little bit here too but we can't necessarily rule out Bud either. He didn't specify the capacity in which the "recruiter/spread/QB Guru" was going to be hired/working. It could mean that Bud is the next HC and he's lined up an ace OC. (FWIW, I seriously doubt this scenario but can't discount it)
If you look at Whit's track record for hiring coaches Dan Mullen probably makes the most sense. I still think Tom Herman is going to be in Blacksburg come January. One name I haven't seen yet (probably due to his lack of HC exp.) but who might be an interesting hire IMO is Lincoln Riley.
Just think what Ford will do next year when we hire an offensive minded coach.
didn't andre davis have a 1000 yard season, but back then they didn't count the bowl stats towards the season stats? Thought I recalled something like that.
edit: confirmed 1070 yards in '99 with a crazy 25.5 yards per catch.

Bear Bryant or bust



Tennessee went to the locker room after Boykin's catch in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Refs told them to come back out. The actions of a team shouldn't affect the call.
