Here's to a Maddy/Nnadi/Dadi (&CoreyMarshall) front this year.
Now...the real question. Should we be converting Dennis Rodman to TE??
And our opponents' QBs be like:
Draft Insider had predicted him along with James Gayle, Kyle Fuller, and Antone Exum to go in the 2nd-3rd rounds at the beginning of the season, but I assume he may have fallen to a 3rd-5th round pick.

He's currently ranked the #25 DT by www.nfldraftscout.com.

He is younger than Saban...
They remodeled the year after I lived there. Go figure. Just like how my high school got a brand new building (undeservedly) the year after I graduated.
A couple more interesting names for the Vandy job (I think Chad Morris is the most likely to get an offer first FWIW):
Mack Brown: He's from Tennessee. Might not want his coaching career to be over just yet.
Gene Chizik: I realize he had issues at Auburn (Auburn fan here), but he's still got a good defensive mindset. Pair that with a good offensive mind and hope he learns from past mistakes. Really a fallback option after Morris and others.
I can't believe we are still talking about this...now lets get down to more important things, like talking about converting Bucky Hodges to TE.
Did he go to FSU?
I don't know how realistic of a risk it was, but any time I hear our team could take any kind of hit (player leaving, Bud leaving, etc.) it worries me at least a little. Very happy to see him back and toting the Lunch Pail!
Precisely!
If I were an NFL GM, I would look at Logan as a QB3, TE2 with upside to be a good starting QB and a Pro Bowl Caliber TE.
Look at the current Pro Bowl TEs:
Jimmy Graham - played 1 year (barely on the field) of TE at the University of Miami - was Bball star
Vernon Davis - TE all throughout HS and College (the outlier)
Jordan Cameron - Entered BYU to play basketball - transferred and played 2 years of WR at USC
Julius Thomas - Never played football in his life until his Sr year 2010 at Portland State, where he was a basketball star
My point in this. Pro Bowl Caliber TEs are gigantic athletes with Manimal skills. Many enter the NFL with little to NO football knowledge (seriously, how much did Julius Thomas learn at Portland State). Logan's football knowledge is HUGE. Logan will be an Pro Bowl level TE and this is why I think he'll be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd Round. He may get his shot to try out to be the 2nd or 3rd string QB, but I really believe he'll become an NFL stud at the TE position.
Let me clarify, because I agree 100% with everything you posted here. There are some less-than-insightful people out there that would say he's a bad hire because he's a bad coach because he took X number of years to be good at Duke. Or even that he was successful at Duke in a weak ACC. Point is, like you said, he's a great coach, too old be be a great hire.
I think this was going to become another Ford car thingy migig. Andrew FORD hopefully can FOCUS on a new offense.
Did anyone actually see him going? I don't think he was projected in the high rounds of the draft. Right? But anyways that's fantastic that he's back.
its like he's trying to speak to us...
BOOM!
I'm so confused....
Me too. Especially when they did their annoying chop after a 3 yard gain by Tre Mason.
Everyone who got downvoted because some people don't have a sense of humor or their skin is as thin as paper got an upvote from me.
I watched him play a few times and this kid was all over the field, it's amazing he has so few offers because of his size.
OH YEAH!
Edit: 13 beat me to it
This makes us all very, very happy.
I'm grateful that I was blessed with an opportunity to accomplish my dreams of going to the NFL this year, but— Luther Maddy (@BigLu_561) January 9, 2014
After lots of prayer I've decided it's best I return to get my degree and be an asset to reaching our goal of a championship #HokieNation— Luther Maddy (@BigLu_561) January 9, 2014
Bud Foster was also targeted, but he canceled his interview because it conflicted with a recruiting visit.
You have to think that sort of 'team-first' mentality would impress any AD, and I'm sure Vandy is going to at least reach out to him again.
Oh cool. Yeah I moved here after I graduated, Im still trying to learn where everything is.
He is recruiting a Douchebag All-Star team...
