Herman is winning with players NOT recruited by him
I'm not sure how you see that as a negative. The biggest argument against Loeffler is that he couldn't win without his guys. Now you're criticizing a coach for winning with someone else's recruits?
BTW, he's already historically changed the recruiting at Houston. They have a top 40 recruiting class lined up already, in his first year, and he's not at a P5 school. He's recruiting Houston better than half of the ACC. Let that sink in for a moment.
Aaaaand that explains the financial crisis.
Thank you for your support, my write-in campaign starts today.
Yeah I don't see it. What more does he have to prove at Houston? And really, when a Tier 1 job (Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, USC.... and that's really about it) opens, they'll almost certainly go for a coach who has proven himself at the Power 5 level. They'd be looking at the Art Briles, Gary Patterson, Chip Kelly, Dabo Swinney level of coach.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Oh, I understand what you're saying. As VT_Fencer said, they are probably going to get left out of the CFP again this year. Last year was because of the fact that they didn't have a Champion and this year it's probably going to be because they all beat each other up, unless OSU can come out undefeated. The problem is that conference alignment is so messed up at the moment. As soon as the Big 12 took WVU, they changed things in terms of conferences being regional. I don't know the best way to do it, but it would seem that they wouldn't get much from adding a 5th Texas team.
Gene Chizik thinks Jar Jar Binks is the greatest of all the Star Wars characters and thinks the prequels are FAR superior to the original trilogy
That's what I'm saying.
With all the emphasis on recruiting, is no one concerned that Herman is winning with players NOT recruited by him?
Gene Chizik thinks he's the reason auburn won a national title
Gene Chizik thinks it's great to be named after a small piece of gum.
You know that Gene Chizik is going to be our next coach now...
Bonus tip on the Lutheran church: There are two lots at this church, an upper lot accessible on Toms Creek Rd and a lower lot accessible on Prices Fork Rd. If you're trying to get out of town on Toms Creek, make sure you use the upper entrance.
Gene Chizik hopes that they come out with a non-animated version of Wreck-It-Ralph so he can play Gene.

Oh and DHall sent in his gratitude as well. All those in attendance for Saturday are going to see a lot of love. Tyrod also recorded something that will be shown Saturday. I hope VT Athletics posts them online so those of us who didn't go can see them too.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the ACC get left out. If Clemson loses they're out. No question. The ACC is pretty awful right now. I could see UNC beating Clemson in Charlotte paving the way for ND to sneak in with the B1G champ, PAC champ, and SEC Champ.
Given all the tired arguments against him, remind us of the tired arguments in his favor?

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Assuming any one of Baylor, Ok, or OkSt wins out, I think the PAC will be the one to be left out this year. Especially if Stanford loses to ND.
Gene Chizik throws the basket in the trash with the rest of his garbage at fast food restaurants, on purpose.
Gene Chizik doesn't say thank you when you hold the door open for him.
Gene Chizik will get in an elevator that's going up even though he's going down.
Gene Chizik takes a cart full of groceries though the self-checkout line.
Gene Chizik thinks that Bud Foster is just an ok DC.
Gene Chizik thinks that UNC will bring 12,000 fans into Lane on Saturday.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal To me this looks like a win-win for Houston and Herman.
Houston gets another year (or so) out of Herman to get the program more solidified and in a better bargaining position for Big12 membership.
It makes it much easier for Herman to wait at least another year for a tier 1 job (the only one open now is USC) and at the same time be able to say he wasn't just a 1 and done mercenary.
Leavin' Bristol at 7am in the morning!!! Cant wait!!!
They would if they get left out of the playoff for a second year because of not having a championship game. They'll start to get desperate.
Either one works. If there's a local Alumni Association or Hokie Club chapter that's having a UVa game get-together, that would be pretty cool. Otherwise, recommendations for a good sports bar would come in handy. Thanks.
In years past, I've gone to the Brick House in Surfside (for obvious reasons) but I'm open to other options if there are better ones out there.
Going west on 460, park at the Lutheran church on Tom's creek or in my neighborhood. It takes you longer to walk there from the stadium, but you'll probably be walking faster than the people stuck in traffic trying to get out of the duck pond lot.. And as soon as you get in your car, you can shoot up tom's creek road relatively unimpeded and get right on 460 westbound.
Pro-tip: the guys on the corner of McBryde and Price's Fork charge $20 to park there. Go two houses down and turn left on Burrus and you can park street side for free.
