He also said our non-shutout streak ended. We were not shut out last year. We scored against both Miami and Wake Forest.
Torian Gray also made the list among longest tenured DB coaches in the country:

yeah I need one, especially now that it is Friday
The value of Steele is that he does this for every. single. team. Basically every player you see playing on a Saturday, you can look up his relevant stats and recruiting ranking.
He then compares all the units across the board. He lists players, 1-250, at each position. He's got betting odds. He's got NFL draft data. He's got national recruiting information, compiled into a PS# that composites all recruiting rankings.
So, yeah, he missed that our 4th QB transferred. His 235+ page magazine is now useless.
I don't mean to ruffle any feathers. When I turn to a page by a paid professional such as his I expect to see something up-to-date and that which I haven't seen before. From my point of view what was on the pdf was nothing more than cut and paste and not well checked, thus we see Williams, who while possible is doubtful to be starting and would have been more accurate to say so, and Andrew Ford who left some weeks ago with enough heads up time before publishing to not be listed. For fans of other teams who don't follow the Hokies I can see the merit.
If he has to start over, it's already there.
Please let that not be the case...
Fairly worthless information for people who follow this website.
Yup. He is about at the level of information that is commonly found on fan websites dedicated to the team...
For forty different teams.
Yep, here's their comparative coaching experience from their Hokie Sports profiles:
Stacy Searels
1992-93 Auburn (graduate assistant)
1994-00 Appalachian State (offensive line)
2001-02 Cincinnati (offensive line)
2003-06 LSU (offensive line)
2007-09 Georgia (offensive line)
2010 Georgia (offfensive line/running game coordinator)
2011-12 Texas (offensive line)
2013 Texas (assistant head coach/offensive line)
Torrian Gray
2000-02 Maine (defensive backs)
2002-04 Connecticut (defensive backs)
2004-05 Chicago Bears (assistant defensive backs)
2006-12 Virginia Tech (defensive secondary)
2013 Virginia Tech (defensive secondary/passing game coordinator)
Searels has almost a decade more coaching experience, including stops at several major SEC and B12 programs.
While he desperately needs to higher a graphic artist (anyone with any design knowledge), Phil Steele is (IMO) the #1 college football statistician/analyst. His predictions come to fruition more often than any other pundit.
which makes it even better if you ask me. theres nothing more UVA than UVA making fun of themselves and not realizing it
just appears to end like that.
Can someone help me out with the last sentence of his forecast? Like....where is the rest of it? Its gonna be a big letdown if its just cut off
yeah I got the same thing
that's how it ends.
beat me by 47 seconds
wow that is hard to read
For some reason the version I am looking at the forecast ends like this
"were actually tied for last in the Coastal LY but are"
Anyone else having that issue?
is part of SS's salary still being paid for by Texas as well?
the funny thing is, that soccer mom probably thought she was getting a plate that said "UVA Family"
and that's why we just look at it when it's free and don't pay for the magazine
I can remember the days when if you were big enough to throw your money up on the counter, you could walk out the door with a six pack of PBR. The times they have changed.
That is an absurd expectation. For one, if the magazine is coming out soon, it's very likely that the Andrew Ford news came out after his deadline. Besides, 3rd/4th string qb changes aren't that big of a deal. Secondly, the value of what he does isn't about out-doing the people here who spend hours every day keeping up with every bit of minutiae on one team, it's so that you can keep up with every other team. 95% of what he says about us is dead-on, and shows some pretty in depth knowledge and analysis. To me, that says you can trust what he's saying about the other 39 teams, and get a quick 2-page run down on the state of every other program. Which is pretty amazing really.
