comments from Frank like his iconic three things can happen when you pass line

We are passing more now than the program ever has under Beamer.

[Frank] is responsible for the program's philosophies and directions, so he likely does influence things in that way.

That's what I was saying when I said you could argue he hires the wrong type of OC. Frank wants a multiple offensive scheme that values the run. Every OC he's ever had has put that type of offense on the field. So yes, he certainly does affect the offense in the fact that he has a say in the type of OC we go after, but there's no evidence he does anything at all to control the offense that the OC is running. I have never heard of him overruling a called play in-game, nor giving any offensive directive other than the generic "run the ball more" sort of thing that every coach is going to do.

I've heard my dad talk about this. Never seen a picture until now. I think he said before the yellow can it was just a black and white can. I can't even imagine what the contents taste like.

*Edit for grammar.

Which was obviously the beginning of the end of his tenure. I don't really see your point here. Stiney was on the way out at that point, due to an uproar from the fan base that Beamer just couldn't ignore anymore. Frank was looking for a way to maintain staff stability while addressing the issues that had become too big to sweep under the 10-win rug any longer.

If anything, it's the exception that proves the rule.

Making the best out of a bad situation:

HOAT, is this a relative of yours?

And I'm not sure what this guy was trying to do, but it ended up being very funny:

ohh kill emm..

PS Pryor had to get some sort of written letter/approval from OSU so that he could go and do the Browns Scrimmage at the shoe,

The ball psi isn't critical (and can easily be regulated by the NFL when they choose to enact those measures)

1) I don't like your tone, go to your room.
2) I could pick apart your entire argument, but I don't feel like there is a point. What I will say is that rules are a part of the game for a reason. The PSI may not be "critical", but underinflated footballs are easier to throw and to tuck.
3)

unfortunately, I can definitely see a new HC coming in and wanting to replace Bud. He would have no sense of ownership of half the game. I mean, who is going to tell Bud how the defense needs to change? No one. A smart HC would keep him on and let him be completely autonomous, but if there's any sort of personality clash the HC wouldn't want to go toe to toe with someone who's been at the school for so long and has the reputation Bud does.

It would be like having to give a talk on offensive line play and French is sitting there in the front row scribbling notes for questions to ask when you're done. Sure, he knows his stuff and could probably enhance the conversation, but you would really rather have an audience of noobs.

My issue with the ranking is how much credit they are giving to ECU. I follow ECU and don't think they will be nearly as good as they getting credit for. It's a rebuilding year for them. We play OSU who is obviously going to be in contention for the playoff again and then 2 very poor teams (furman/purdue) and one team that will probably be a 6-7 win type team in ECU. If ECU was to hit their win total over the last 3 stretch as this article suggests I would probably agree with them.

Here are three that don't mention us as being in the top 10 or even 25 in some cases:

I'm convinced that your "fat fingering" is really just a ploy so that we can all post ridiculous gifs and not worry about staying on topic. I approve.

reading tweets regarding this is like reading tea leaves: no one has a damned clue what's going on, but there's lots of crap to look at and any number of ways to twist what little is reported.
