# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" I've read all the arguments as to why people aren't sure or don't want Bud as a HC.
And I don't care. Bud is my pick until I hear direct quotes from him that he doesn't want it.
Greg Hardy's was affected by time served, basically. He sat the entire last season. Also Hardy's case was thrown out, so while the NFL can make their own conclusion about what happened, Hardy still hasn't been convicted of a crime.
I'm assuming the court would have subpoena power to obtain the records. So, best case he is vindicated by new evidence while still guilty of destroying evidence and not cooperating with the due process at the nfl level. His punishment is based mostly on not cooperating. I don't see any way that the punishment is reduced. I'd be very surprised if this goes to trial. I think it is just Brady's way of screaming innocence until the very end.

# | Bitter blog - Braxton Miller's position switch adds more intrigue to Hokies' much-anticipated opener against Ohio State I can't agree that he will be hit more, but he will be likely hit harder by the LBs as he's looking back to receive a pass and not ahead at the defenders. Plus, he won't be able to slide to avoid the hit. I don't know if that's necessarily his style, but getting to the sidelines to avoid the hit won't be as easy of an option when catching passes in the middle of the field. It will be a completely different style of hit that he'll receive. And even the best athletes can have a hard time figuring out routes and timing in a new position.
Do.... Do we give turkey leg? Take turkey leg away? Post confused gif? Yeah, option 3.
That book was David Wilson wouldn't run inside/Greg Nosal couldn't handle Brandon Thompson.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Well look at that, you read my mind.
If Morris has 2 solid years at SMU and Beamer decides the 2016 season is good enough, it could end up being a more legit possibility than some may think.
From Frenches post:
This issue is a mix of things. It could certainly be that the coaches saw the adjustment, but had young players (Teller and Hansen were just starting to get starter reps in the Miami and Wake games respectively) and didn't want to over-complicate things.
And then from this post:
this year they will finally get to use the same signals and decisions trees as last year.
These two points make me a LOT more confident that the coaches will have an easier time making in-game adjustments with this group this year.
French, what say you?

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" He doesn't have to say it because recruits already know it and it is impacting our recruiting.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" was he not the HC that brought in chad morris? Part of being a HC is surrounding yourself with the right people and allowing them to do their jobs. We've heard for years and years that Frank won't allow OC's to run the offense as they see fit.
There a difference between not turning it over and actively destroying evidence that would have been needed when this eventually went to trial. If Brady had simply not complied and withheld the phone from the NFL he had a case, but the second he had it actively destroyed he was in the wrong. It is his legal responsibility to preserve anything that could be evidence if he even thought there was a reasonable chance this could have gone to trial, which would be hard for him to argue he didn't think it would when everyone was openly debating the possibility of a trial of he didn't get his way.
The legal case that can be made against him for this is not good. At best, the fact he destroyed the phone will be allowed into evidence in the trial and will be hard to argue against. At worst, the judge will instruct the jury (if this is a jury trial) to consider that anything on the phone was going to be damaging to his case, so they can infer the worst about what was on it. There is legal precedence for this, which is described in the link I posted to an earlier reply.
Brady likely screwed himself by destroying the phone. He has a very uphill battle ahead of him, and it doesn't look good. Legally, while he was in the right to not comply with the NFL, he went too far and overplayed his hand.

# | #TeamPie: Introducing the Piesman Trophy - SB Nation unveils the first award for linemen who do awesome, un-lineman things. Herbs and Vegetables are not food, they are what food eats...
His knees are just cursed. He needs to come home to VT and coach the RB's, we could sure use a RB coach...
*sigh* I'm trying to keep this civil, but people are getting awfully salty.
You are correct that they should have records of Brady's texts with those two individuals. However, they do not have records of Brady's texts with anyone else.
So, while:
1) Brady is well within his legal right to not cooperate with the investigation
2) Some of the evidence was still recovered through other means
Neither statement addresses my points that destroying his phone (on the day they asked for it!) is
1) SKETCHY AS HELL
2) Unlikely to help his case when it DOES go to court
I'm sure BillDozer's upcoming season trailer will get it rolling again.....

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" We should have beat Auburn too. As I recall we dropped a pass in the endzone on a 4th down, lost by 3.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Ahem.....10-2 ACCCG.....you left these over there.....
Seriously though, I do think a realistic high note for CFB to go out on would be ACCCG and either a playoff game (or two) or a strong bowl victory.
A 2-loss Alabama, even if it's the SEC champ, won't get the final spot over a 1-loss ACC team
Especially if that 1-loss ACC team gave Ohio State it's one loss....

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" or he could very well end up outlasting a few of the coaches who supposedly use the "Beamer is gonna retire soon" to negative recruit against VT

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" I think for us to get Chad Morris Beamer needs to retire in the next 3 years. If Morris does well he's not going to stick at Sam Houston or Houston or wherever he is long.
We're still in July, where every scenario is possible!
This is a mixture of hilarious and disturbing.
Wait til they give Murland 10 years in the B1G. They might wish for U-like stats...
