Tressel is currently in an advisory position at Akron he cant coach for like 5 or 6 years I believe due to the NCAA sanctions
Reports are that Beamer is talking up Jerome Wright as if he were the next Jarrett Ferguson.
To be fair I believe that's a sweatshirt with a turtleneck collar.
Cutting corners ...that's how UVA coaches roll...
YOU!
should know that.
I'm fairly certain he got a show-cause penalty when he left OSU. So he'd have to sit out a good amount of time.
It was more of a mistake, wasnt fully aware of the situation.
Vick got a second chance right? Why shouldn't he.
But he's not a good fit for VT.
One of these patrolling the sidelines?
Eh. Jury's out.
Im not sure leal should start, Let the three youngs bucks fight it out and see who is our best of the three and roll with him. If we play leal this year then all that means is we will have to break in another brand new starter for the year of the battle of bristol, not sure i want a sophmore or redshirt freshman playing his first ever game in those conditions. But hey these are my two cents. Look forward to watching the youngsters play.
Would be an interesting hire, I think that Tressel is a heckuva coach, just maybe not the right man for Virginia Tech.

I think he's a solid coach and because he wasnt careful kinda got a bum wrap. But not a fit for VT IMO
This is a great angle. And this is very good for the university. One thing that I wonder, does players leaving early count against graduation rates? If a player leaves, is he omitted from the overall number of players because if they leave early and count against; than teams with players who go pro at a higher rate will have a lower graduation %.
Austin would riot, there is no way.
Although, going from Raiders, to SEC also-ran, to USC to Texas would be in line with his career arc. Keep moving up, nobody look at his actual resume.
The only thing I can think of, is that he wants to use Kiffen to get some of those USC recruits to flip and if Lane can help stay in touch with those guys and tip the scales, than good.
The last thing any coach should be saying "This is Lane Kiffen, I'm bringing him in to change some things around here"

# | Bitter blog - Wednesday links: A 1947 Sun Bowl Story, Stinespring interviews at JMU Very cool story about the '47 Sun Bowl. It really is great to get historical perspective from the Greatest Generation Hokies. Thanks, Andy.
Damn blue mana!
Front row during the '97-'98 school year as a freshmen! I really should listen to one of those albums again. He changed Lunch Lady Land lyrics to "Hokies and grinders"
Damn blue mana!
Assuming the NCAA limits contacts with recruits by cell phone and text, is this the first instance of drunk mailing? If so, London could be a trendsetter.
Of note, Tressel is 6 years younger than Beamer and 7 years older than Foster. In 2016, Beamers will be 70, Tressel will be 64 and Foster will be 57. Shane Beamer will be 39.
I'd prefer to go after a younger coach. let him grow into the position, even if that means some rough early years it will be worth it I believe (just like Duke and Coach K)
Seriously. He still had thousands of fans shouting "BOOOOOOOONNNNEE" almost every home game while he played at VT.
I agree, no Ohio State University sweater vests. I assume that is what you meant?
I think that as far as coaching, there is little argument that the guy has the ability. But Blacksburg is far different than Columbus. I'm sure that the VT fans will embrace whoever replaces Frank, but this is still in its heart a small town; the rabid fan base win-at-all-costs mentality that plays at OSU is not what this fanbase is about. We want to win, but this program cannot survive NCAA sanctions, we are barely hanging on to top 25 relevancy now. Remember when Butch Davis came to UNC and had all those whispers of impropriety following him from Miami? Good coach, but his antics set that program back.
Every time I hear "Choppin Wood" and "Football" I think about this story.
