Easy. The ACCCG winner.
The CCGs are now the de facto first round of the playoffs. Which is a big part of the reason the Big XII-2 is starting to come apart at the seams.
is that from the top row? i swear those are my identical seats haha

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" There's also a lot of DC's who made fantastic HC's. Saban, Jimbo, Chip Kelley all come to mind.
To me the more controversial statement is that TCU will get in over the acc champ without a CCG victory of there own.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" I think we're a big enough program that there's no need to gamble on a coach with no HC experience
I would love to see something like the following scenario (you can use any conference, I will just go with the ACC)
Lets say you have the following set up
Atlantic: Clemson 12-0 - ranked Top 5
FSU - 11-1 - only loss to Clemson (possible top 10 but at worst top 15 ranking)
Coastal: Virginia Tech - 10-2 - Top 25 team (loss to undefeated OSU and another non-GT team)
10-2 VT defeats 12-0 Clemson in ACCCG.
Which of the 3 teams, if any, gets a playoff spot?

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Pure speculation, but I think Morris wants to stay in the state of Texas. That's where he coached HS ball, and it's also very easy to move vertical within the state.

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part I: Foster's place in a post-Beamer world and College GameDay chances I don't envy Whit Babcock making the call for the next HC.
Maybe he's just cultivating mass

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" How does that sit with the alumni
It's not a big a deal. How many times have one of us done that at our job? Plus, IIRC, Beamer's raise was small, but the assistants got a sizable raise, no?

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" I would not be surprised if that was a bit of a fib.
Overall point is that a 2 loss bama could very well win the sec and slide in to the plyoffs. So it doesn't seem like such a controversial statement to me once you let the air out of it.
My favorite picture I took that day:
You are making the dangerous assumption that all the people involved or who have useful information were already questioned.
We must have different definitions of "worked out".
Re-reading my post it does say "balls" way too often...lol.
Uh, that principle in the second paragraph of my post applies in both situations... note how both are mentioned. But let me spell it out for you more specifically.
In a criminal proceeding if you destroy evidence and get caught, you get charged with additional crimes (obstruction of justice and/or destruction of evidence) and if the prosecution is allowed to tell the jury about it you're more likely to be found guilty on your original charge.
In sports rules-breaking investigation with punishment meted out by a Commissioner, if you destroy potential evidence, you are quite likely to get punished as if the missing evidence proved your guilt, or receive an even stiffer penalty.
See Georgia Tech for another example... very minor NCAA athlete benefit infraction, but GT tampered with witnesses and stonewalled the NCAA investigation, so they were hit with some pretty hefty penalties. Had they cooperated the NCAA would've basically cleared them of the original charges and issued no punishment.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" I hear this brought up a lot and it is true. But, it's also true that most of the top D1 coaches were also great coordinators, so the fact that he does his current job well should only be perceived as a positive as it relates to his chances of being a good HC.
^^^^^ This
At this point, this whole ordeal is really not about the deflated footballs anymore. Its clear by the wording of Goodell's decision yesterday that the issue now is Brady's complete lack of cooperation with the NFL.
Part of that is not handing over the cell phone. Certainly Brady was within his rights to not do so. But if there is a possibility that this might go to a trial a trial situation or at the very least continue through an appeal process in which the phone recrod might be useful, having an assistant destroy it is not a good look.
If the NFL is moving towards citing "lack of cooperation" as their reasoning for the suspension, I really don't know how, in federal court, a judge would be convinced otherwise.

# | Hokies, Yellow Jackets Readying for Another "Dogfight" at the Top of the ACC Coastal in 2015 GT's offensive passing scheme:
we have some freshmen we think could play, we'll see how it goes. We'll trot some guys out there.
I don't know how anyone thinks this is a valid scenario. If I were someone's apprentice for 20+ years, then that person left, and I was not given the job, no way in hell I'd stick around and do the same job for a different person.
EDIT: Foster almost took a lateral career move to TA&M this season. I don't think he's sticking around if he didn't love the staff here.
