Except unlike most of the folks delivering these arguments, I have watched more than a dozen hours of Michigan and Arizona game film and Ibam telling you, this will not work in the ACC.
Me and 9 of my closest friends will be there... Lets go boys
Thank you for articulating this so well for those of us who feel the same but are unable to express it in a logical fashion.
The word of French for the people of French, Thanks be to French.
We've gone over the RichRod discussion ad infinitum and each time I hear pretty much the same things. This just rehashes the same tired arguments that come from an attitude that is predisposed to disliking the guy.
Preach it!
So someone should ask DW4 to talk to him about football and track.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Is is before the two sides have even sat down to negotiate. They said they are willing to go even higher on the base plus incentive pay. He could be looking at 3.5-4 million at a G5 school.
I really don't understand how anybody could want RichRod. It boggled my mind before this piece was written. I don't even know how anybody could make an argument for him now.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal Houston wouldn't make this move if they didn't feel threatened...They definitely think they got something special in Herman. I tend to agree. They'll be in terrific shape if they can hang on to him. For our sake, I hope they can't.

As someone who has been on the #saynotoRichrod wagon a longtime I say well done.
I agree. Plus, to me his resume just isn't that impressive. I think though that as Beamer said he does not want to divide HokieNation he has to have some input into the next coach. I mean Whit has to have at least asked Frank, what do you think of so and so, what's the word in the coaching circles, etc etc. And if Frank is concerned about dividing HokieNation he would have to have said (hopefully) that a RichRod hire would do exactly that. Plus as you say I don't see it as an exciting hire that would draw top talent in VA at least. Plus his wins at all programs has been just ok. I mean after WVU, which was how many years ago, how well has he done?? Not good if you ask me. So I am with you.

# | Houston is serious about keeping Herman, Board approves $3 million salary proposal There has been serious talk recently of the Big 12 expanding. Houston, with Herman on board would be very attractive. So that is a wise investment for Houston to make.
Just hang around and be late. Post-game rails are the best and are a close second only to pre-game rails.
Great article, great insite,, passion and well written. I agree with a number of previous comments, Brewer has a future in coaching. I hope he can get a jump start on that st VT. Thanks, Michael!
I'm going! Wooop!
I mean it kinda sounds like you're expecting these coaches to act like teenage girls. I don't think that's the case. IF Bud were named the next coach I'm pretty sure the first order of business would be to come out with a statement that he's happy with the direction the program is headed and there won't be any changes at this time. Behind closed doors he'd make it clear to all coaches that "we still have a job to do to send Frank out on a high note and that will be our primary concern. We will evaluate where we stand at the end of the season so lets go out there and finish strong!"
....or something. I doubt very much that it would get catty.
"Nothing about his preferred offensive or defensive system is attractive to recruits who want NFL futures"
Soooo onboard with this analysis. And this is the main criticism (maybe the only criticism) I have had with the Beamer era. We had great success getting the most from our unheralded recruits with an unusual scheme - and it was brilliant and innovative and we caught the world by surprise.
But after we caught lightning in the bottle with MV, and almost won it all, we should have cashed in on our popularity and shifted away from the gimmicky stuff - particularly on D, with the "smaller, faster players". 220 DEs? There are only so many Cory Moores on the planet.
We should have dumped the gimmicks. They served their purpose, and then some. But we never evolved. I don't know if it was "if it ain't broke don't fix it", stubborness, or what.
And as you say, Richrod, is just idiotic. That's just going backwards, IMO. We need to get a system in place along the lines of the NFL, and land guys that can and will produce in that system.
More of an issue for others than me. But yes, add it to the list.
You forgot the key dis-qualifier: he played football at, graduated from, and coached at, WVU. Only thing worse would be hiring a UVA alum. (see Stokes, Ricky)
Oh nice, I actually will go west on 460 after the game. Where do they allow people to park? Is it around closer to the Inn, or is it down by the duck pond lot?
