# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" What is he supposed to say?
What if Beamer had said, "You know, we've had a pretty good staff the past couple of years and I'm happy with our continuity and those guys recruiting efforts, but I don't think our future coach is in Blacksburg right now." ---- Do you realize the sh*tstorm that would cause?
We already have enough issues recruiting with his impending departure so there is no way he's going to undermine the current staff. This is a lot about nothing. Beamer will be gone by the end of next year at the latest, Shane moves on, Bud will remain DC and we'll get an HC with a more wide-open game-plan (e.g.-RichRod type not saying RR).
I've been adamant with the belief that Foster is not HC material because of his past, but do not believe that is the case any longer. I feel football has become too big of a business with too much money at stake, to not hire the best candidate. Transgressions are easily forgotten these days with a winning season (see Dana Holgorsen, Bobby Petrino, etc.). That being said, I don't see Foster as the figurehead/fundraiser/glad-handing personality that is required of the position. I see him as much more of a football junkie, in his own world, Jim Harbaugh type. Oh wait....
I know JT has progressed since the first meeting, but we had our way with him that day.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Raekwon McMillan is going to be a beast. He barely even flinched, just gave whatever was coming at him a Cesar Millan look that stopped the "mannequin" in his tracks.
Big fan of dAft punk.
Yeah, at least now I'd likely recognize him if I passed him on the street.
Well done.
Like frightened turtle.
It's good to have a sense of humor when getting pumped up. It helps alleviate some of the tension.
French brought up the point, as did the WF LB. The Hokies have ALWAYS shown tendencies on offense. It's been a thing since 2006. Can't cover a blitzing LB who knows where you're going and you can't/won't counter.
That's always been something I don't understand about the Hokies. Coach Foster is one of the best in-game adjustment guys in the business, but over on offense...

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" OT - Just started rewatching the 2004 season. I hate to open old wounds, but damn... Hokies got jobbed on a LOT of calls in that SoCal game, the phantom interference call not withstanding.
Conspiracy?

# | OT: If you are desperate for football LFL on Fuse I went with a group of friends to an LFL championship game (Baltimore Charm vs.... ????). We had a groupon (which helps). We had a lot of fun (we also got pretty hammered before, during, and after). They hit pretty hard, with only some well placed safety gear.
PIE!

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Gotta ask I've seen this on numerous threads here and people on Twitter. Why the love affair with Rich Rod? He has a cloud around him regarding potential NCAA violations and player unhappy with his style, including one player specifically calling out the atmosphere as not being a "family" while at Mich. I want a coach who will keep the VTFamily tradition alive, where players feel like family.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Bud Foster's coaching search is like when you go to the car lot looking, even though you have a nice care with low miles and is in good shape. If the dealer wants to give one away, you talk, but you don;t have to have a car. I suspect Bud's price tag has been pretty high for an unproven head coach.
One of my clients at the time of the Clemson coach change happened to be a pretty heavy hitter booster guy for the Tigers. He told me first hand that they were seriously passing the hat around for Bud. He said that Foster reminded the old timers a lot of Danny Ford, and they were smitten. At the end of the day, economics played out, and they knew that they could get Swinney to move up for the bargain basement contract.
I don't have info on any of the other incidents, but I believe we came closer to losing Bud to Clemson than to anyone else.
