Obviously the kid can run and jump. If he's world class potential, he's might have a longer career and make more money as a track athlete. I'd choose Florida's weather for track and field over those long winters and wet, windy springs for my track career. But give me Virginia's wacky weather for football any day.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Plus, I'm kind of hoping that the Big XII some how misses out on the playoff this year. I think that will send a message to the league that Conference Championship games are important. Until they get one, they're not a good place to be for teams who want to be in the playoff discussion. Herman may be better suited leaving for a job at a school that already has a decent shot (ACC, B1G, SEC, PAC1?)
I wish we could do the endzone of the late 90's time frame once more for Frank!
Careful lest thee be deemed as having irrational hate...
I'm no X & O's guy, but I think it's RichRod's scheme, not the spread in general. Urban Meyer's spread offense has put plenty of players in the NFL. Morris put a handful of WR's an RB's in the NFL. TCU's offense when Fuente was there (I don't think they ran a traditional 'spread' offense there) produced Andy Dalton.
Maybe the scheme is fine, but RichRod hasn't recruited talented enough to players to send them to the NFL. Maybe he doesn't develop his players well. Maybe it's a combination of scheme/recruiting/development. Either way, it's a huge red flag.
Getting OT, but I'd also like to point out how balanced Meyer's, Morris's and Fuente's offenses were/are. Definitely something I'd love to see in Blacksburg.

Really? You can't be serious...
I can't imagine a world where the guy who hired Buzz and seems to sincerely care about Hokie Nation, would hire someone who has so polarized the fan base. In my opinion, regardless of x's and o's, RR is the anti Beamer, and I don't think Whit is dumb enough to make such mistake.
Exactly. Lamar Cobb and Cols Colas were never going to be Corey Moore, much to the staff's consternation.
in there!!!!! 9 hour drive tonight after I get off work at 6 tonight lol.
I hope that you are correct, and therefore dub you:
Really? Were you part of the Silly Nanny football team?

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal I'm not entirely sure why anyone would be clamoring to get into the Big XII. I mean, yeah, its probably better than what Houston is getting now, but the Big XII is the ONLY P5 conference to have unequal conference revenue sharing (thanks to UTex's ultimatum).
#SayNoToRichRod
This put tears in my eyes. Anybody that can inspire this type of loyalty and make this kind of life altering impression on a person is the epitome of a leader. Regardless of how I feel about the last several seasons our program will not be better for losing a man of this caliber and I am proud to call myself a fan during his tenure. Thanks, Coach.
potential recruits ultimately get wise that the system won't teach them the fundamental skills needed to be successful in the National Football League
Building on this, do you believe this is a problem with spread/read-option offenses generally, or is it specific to RichRod's scheme? Should we be equally concerned if Fuente or Morris get the job?
Is it time to head to the game yet?
LET'S GO!!

# | Techonomics: How Frank Beamer's Football Program Fuels Southwestern Virginia 
I'm not sure I understand your point. How is looking at scheme, which French is one of the best, just rehashing?
You do know that Whit Babcock is an alum of WVU (grad school). He has done a pretty good job so far. I am not necessarily a fan of RR (I honestly think there are much better candidates out there) but to say he shouldn't be considered because of where he went to school is asinine, in my opinion.
He earned his bachelor's degree from JMU in 1992. In 1996, he received his master's in sports management from West Virginia University.
Wouldn't miss this one!
Scott Loeffler?
