With all due respect to Brock, this isn't a massive loss for VT by any means. Don't see how this recruiting season has been so bad either. Certainly hasn't been great, but it is starting to pick up. Plus, it's a long time until February.
Stability brings multiple championships
I don't thing they go together. I think more lies on coaches knowing when to call it quits, or if coaches don't then when a school knows it's time to move on.
Since 1999 FSU, LSU, and Ohio State have won 2 national Championships under 2 different coaches.
The exception of course, Bob Stoops has taken Oklahoma to 4 NC games and (though in a lot less time) Nick Saban has taken the same school 3 times
R Rod gets brought up because of the offense change up and the change to a program he has made at Arizona (Preseason #22)
Be interesting to see what Bud would do. As head coach you are more hands off. It wouldnt be the same defense or maybe he would just hire a DC for looks and still do it himself and then I guess it would be all good
Turk's comment's make me think that it was probably something that is technically illegal, but wouldn't usually be prosecuted (stealing condiment packets from a dining hall, filling his backpack with toilet paper from a public bathroom on campus for use at his apartment, jaywalking, etc.) or a situation where the school has a more strict standard of behavior than the law requires (sexual harassment along the lines of cat calling that wouldn't meet the legal standard of being illegal but is a violation of the school's standard or the law considering someone legally capable of sexual consent, but the school having a stricter standard of when someone is able to consent).
Woah, woah, woah. Pump your brakes.
Tennessee has a lot to be excited about. They have a lot of talent and the metrics and polls alike believe in them quite a bit. I think they win 9 games. But top 5 by the end of the year? That's a bit much. That offensive line has to not be absolutely terrible first. 120th in sacks allowed per game, 125th in tfl allowed per game, 103rd in ypc, and 118th in adjusted sack rate paints an ugly picture. Throw in that the offense wasn't really great at anything even with Dobbs in (struggled some against Bama and was poor against Missouri and Vanderbilt) and there are too many real concerns about the Volunteers to say that they'll be top 5.
I do think a decision has been made that we want Bud no matter what, HC or DC. As such, and with Beamer getting up there in tenure, I could see this as active Bud promotion regardless of a decision having been made, or a decision to be made. Imagine a solid offense focused HQ with bud at the continued helm of the D. That to me sounds championship caliber, and I like to think Bud would be juiced up about it. Maybe I'm wrong.
So I take he ratted out Revis and left the team...
All speculation btw
5.5 hours from Myrtle Beach.
....but how do you know?
Bud is a great DC and has been for a long time. That is his strong suit; not head coach.
That's the one.
And let me confirm that Mommas Little Yella Pils is also good on the beach.

# | Ohio State's Joey Bosa and Jalin Marshall out for Virginia Tech Opener Let's cut to the chase. Can the guy who does the awesome graphics work over at 11w post the game poster now so I can correct his work again? I am going to have a super busy August so now would be a great time. One of you anOSU fans make this happen please.
I don't want to speculate in writing what the possible transgression was, because that if incorrect is not fair to anyone involved, but the scenario described with Melvin, CJ and the hearing seems to be accurate.
This is more than kids, the former band director ran that place like a strange frat house. The details coming out in the lawsuit run from eye rolling to straight up disgusting.
One of the best beer festivals on the east coast.
It is on Saturday on Jefferson St. In front of the library.
I'll be there.
Unlike many Hokie fans, I am completely open to the topic of discussing a post-Frank Beamer era. While I want Frank to coach as long as we are going to bowl games, he has been the head coach for nearly 30 years, so it's just fun to talk about what might happen when he retires as it will be completely different than what we're used to.
The name Rich Rodriguez has been brought up quite a few times. At first, I supported this idea, but then I got to thinking: he just seems like a scummy guy. I mean, he completely botched #2 West Virginia's game against 3-8 Pittsburgh that would have propelled the Mountaineers into the National Championship during the 2007-08 season, and then he left for Michigan the next week. Being that Frank Beamer has been our Head Coach since 1987, I'm not quite sure that would go over too well around here.
I want stability more than I want a championship. Stability brings multiple championships, as recruits are more inclined to commit. I want the family atmosphere that KeyBird brought up. Bud Foster would certainly bring that kind of atmosphere. And while he has no head coaching experience, he has learned under one of the best, and he is one of the best assistants in college football. He has consistently put a good defense on the field now since 2004 (2010 and 2012 were rough years, but they were still good enough to get the job done). I am confident he can lead a team.
You're challenging the almighty French's opinion on the play of a lineman?
So you clicked on a thread to post an abandon thread gif?
Thanks Musky. Suspensions happen, injuries happen it's just part of the game. As I said in my intro there will be no excuses. If VT wins it will be because they were the better team that night.
We'll see. I think he takes plays off and isn't super explosive off the ball.
I didn't say he wasn't good. I just think he's overrated.
Overrated consensus All-Americans are not only precedented, they're fairly common. I trust my eyes far more than the hype train and the guesses of a bunch of sportswriters who vote on these things.
Microfestivus in Roanoke NEXT Saturday. I'm going! The lineup of breweries looks pretty good so far.
I liked the beers better at Full Moon AND they'll fill any growler.
OBX brew station had a couple decent beers but, they will only fill their own growlers.
I brought three insulated growlers from home. Guess where I got them filled.
If I remember correctly, these were the rankings on NCAA Football 2005 (2004 season) for USC and Tech. Random fact of the day.
Yes, I know but let me put it another way.
It took me 5.5 hours to get from Roanoke to Nags Head.
The family next to us got here in 6 hrs from Connecticut.
Roanoke area is a geographical oddity. It's 5.5 hours from everywhere.
Sounds like he made a conscientious decision. Good for him, best of luck at NC State.
He'll need it.
