Marcus Vick did and does a lot of stupid things. It doesn't affect you or the program. (If anyone wants to play the contrarian and argue otherwise, you're wrong.) Let's just go on and ignore him.

I agree. I think Cutcliffe has found a natural fit for his style of coaching at Duke. That, and it would take a long downward spiral for them to think about someone else. They're just now hitting their stride with him, and Duke isn't known for pressuring their football coaches.

Having said that, I think Duke had a lot of seniors this year. They may be looking at a Wake Forest type situation for the next two years, where they have a lot of talent and experience graduating after a great year. I don't expect them to fall to 2 wins next year, and I think they'll make a bowl, but I don't see another 10 win season next year. Or maybe even the year after, for that matter. It'll take them two years to be this competitive again.

I think you're onto something. CPJ could do better with a FB/HB/TE-like QB running this offense. Belldozer would put up a million yards in this offense. Pretty much go find another Nesbitt.

It's something I think about whenever I'm having a bad day - at least I'm not getting absolutely wrecked by Kyle Fuller.

So basically, troll post of the year nominee for refusing to defend a position and simply arguing ad hominem against anyone that disagrees.

Let's all move on to other topics.

Never said I can't, but if you bothered to look at my icon you should make the connection and realize I won't. But it doesn't make you better than him when you shit all over him or mislabel him the "worst Hokie ever."

Both teams at one point or another tried their best to give the game away. Hope the ACC keeps this up, because I refuse to embrace basketball.

Actually come to think of it. The Hokies have the perfect example of the type of recruit CPJ should have running his system. Sam Rogers. Smart, Dedicated, Under-Sized and Over-Looked. He would run the shit out of that offense. He may not be a 1000 yard rusher but he would get enough yards to be dangerous and catapult the other 2 options into 1000 yard territory.

Hell you would hardly ever need to waste offers on QB's then. Just take maybe 1 every now and then and offer preferred walk-ons to a bunch that are gunning for a chance and see what comes from practices. Just offer a shit load of RB's and OL.

Hate the guy, but seems like the way to go to me.

I think hes torn, cuz part of him wants to stay him to take care of his child and there is another part of him that wants to take him and his child elsewhere to get away from the bad influential people that surrounds him

I don't know about imploding. I think torrian gray or charley wiles would be an excellent replacement at DC unless bud takes both of them.

They HAD the best 3rd down defense? (Of course we're tied for #3 with FSU behind Louisville & Michigan St.)

To be fair, we haven't put up a lot of points on UVa since 38-0.

That would really surprise me. Not that I don't have a hell of a lot of respect for Cutcliffe but he ain't no spring chicken, and part of Strong's strength was connecting to the team and bringing them together. Again not saying Cutcliffe can't do that, as he obviously can, but I think he's not doing that for very much longer no matter where he is.

Also I think Louisville now enjoys a program that puts points on the board. I would bet they go after an offensive minded coach like Chad Morris, as has been mentioned, and not a defensive as with Bud. I have no basis for saying that other than my own intuition though.

I think posters on every Hokie site everywhere worry about Foster taking a job elsewhere because: 1) he's qualified, 2) the program has a chance of imploding without him.

Saw somewhere that Louisville would go after Cutcliffe if Strong takes the Texas job.

Posters on TKP see Bud Foster going to other schools like McCarthy saw red.

TimeCop never ceases to amaze me. Here he is with what appear to be well sought after coaching talent that are defecting to other programs like rats on the proverbial sinking ship, and yet he still managed to over-shadow them with his own terrible coaching so much so I had always assumed the rest of the coaches were as bad or worse.

To be honest, I never quite understood why CPJ tried to get a high profile recruit to run his offense. His major problem is that recruits at that level will want to be in pro or spread programs (mostly). He should have just found a Navy-level (not knocking them) recruit and had him run it. That type of player that's maybe 2 to 3 star range would jump at the chance to play at GT in ACC and would have the right will and possibly experience to run the triple option. Everyone knows he doesn't need to be a good passer. Just smart and mobile. Lot's of QB's that are undersized for "normal" programs that fit that bill and would do great in his system.

Seems like a no-brainer to me. I hate Paul Johnson, but just saying.
