# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal I can't wait until our new coach is named...this whole coaching transition thing isn't exciting at the moment. I'm glad we haven't been through this in almost 30 years...this constant chatter is becoming white noise that is drowning out and detracting from the #ThanksFrank movement.
damn you, you beat me by seconds haha.... someone please delete mine
Gen Chizik has no idea what happened to that $180,000 that went missing at Auburn.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal All I'm saying, is lets not knock Bud for recruiting, and get the same starry eyes for someone who won with other coach's recruits like a certain Timecop

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal The point is that it buys Herman and Houston time to put themselves in a better position
And I could easily see a place like Penn State or UCLA (borderline tier 1) or Georgia or Auburn or LSU going after Herman after next season rather than the names you mention for a variety of reasons. Just look at who Texas and Florida hired recently...neither came from a power 5 school or a long record of big success.

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia As a Pulaski County native it's really awesome to hear that people are retiring to the county for any reason. The fact that VT Football is bringing them in just makes it better.
As long as you stay southeast of Dublin/Newbern/Draper Pulaski County can be a pretty nice place, low cost of living, nice scenery, good place to retire overall, but I'm biased.
Gene Chizik wears a lot of cologne. He always saves the last spritz for his crotch area and says "...and one for the ladiezzzz...."

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia But staying power is far different when you consider the amount of funding they get now. The money then pales in comparison. I've been unable to find any historical ranking data to see where VT was before Beamer, but that'd be an interesting thing to look at. My point though is that the image of the University changed with the success of the football team. The University grew, received more funding, saw an increase in applications and student body, and became a household name nationally and not just regionally.
Aren't you being a little unfair? Do we REALLY have to consider UVA candidates?
It makes me sad when every time someone brings up an interesting article, it's from Grantland

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia It's hard to say whether the University would have top programs in Engineering, Architecture, rising programs in Business, and other major research funding without what Beamer did.
It's not hard to say that, because VT had top programs in Engineering and Architecture before Beamer was head coach. They were both top 25 programs even then.
That's all I'm saying.
EDIT: Sorry if I'm a bit caustic on the issue. I think Beamer has been influential, and a positive influence. It's just sort of a pet peeve of mine that VT was also pretty awesome when I chose to attend...

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Hey, I don't think it's legit either. I'm just saying that Bleacher Report isn't quite the joke that it was 5 years ago.

There's no secret way over the mountains, sadly. Well, there is that shortcut through the old Dwarven kingdom...

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia As many as 4,700 properties in the region may be owned by out-of-region football fans, primarily
season ticket holders. Realtors estimate about half of those properties, or 2,350 homes were bought with the expressed intent to attend Virginia Tech football home games.
Pretty interesting study attached.
Looks like someone asked Shane about the running back rotation before the picture was snapped.
