Page 4, paragraph 3 of the Coach Speak manual which is in the "save your ass and your teams morale" chapter!

If TKP actually sustains a Daily Dose of Dabo Humor it may actually break the internet.

Reminds me of this:

It's like he can't believe what he just saw. "Nah, that's not a tiger" haha... classic Dabo

Schiano didn't have Rutgers turned around until his 5th season, but that was Rutgers. Even there he won 3 games his first 2 years then went 5-7 and 4-7. Al Golden took Temple to a bowl game in his 4th season. Steve Sarkisian took over a Washington team that went 0-12 in 2008 and went to a bowl game in 2 years.

Also Beamer wasn't getting top 25 recruiting classes every year like London has been the past four years.

I am staying up just to pull ahead... haha.. no, no that's only half true.

I am designing a HUGE tourism master plan and need to give it to my staff tomorrow for them to work up into pretty pictures. As I spent too much time on TKP prior to this night I had to pull an all-nighter to catch up.

yah look, you guys get no argument from me. As I have stated in many a LOLUVA and London bashing he is a terrible coach. He embodies Less from More.

My point is just that it takes time to turn around a program anywhere, unless your name is Saban or Meyer, and that LOLUVA admin is going to give him 2 four year cycles to "build" a program.

I never said he was capable to do that though.

Great Avatar.

My beers suit up on Saturdays, wonder if that counts due to association?

When I was writing my food blog, I did a burrito review. There are actually a lot of competitors out there. Each has their pros and cons. For example, California Tortilla has great queso, which comes in the meal with some chips. Baja Fresh has the salsa bar. Bolocco has different styles, like asian burritos, and they have three different sizes. Sheets has some serious make your own options that can get out of hand. Freshii is your truly healthy option.

Qdoba, Baja Fresh, and California Tortilla add tortilla pieces into their burrito.

Chipotle is good, don't get me wrong, but sometimes, you want these other features. I'm also a big pork fan, and Qdoba's carnitas blow away Chipotle's. In fact, the last time I had Chipotle's, they were so dry, it was horrible.

And I know a lot of people are saying they get hooked up by Chipotle, however it's like Subway, it really depends on who your sandwich/burrito artist is. I've gotten lucky in the past when another Chipotle employee has come to my rescue to tell my artist that it needs more meat.

Anyway, as you can see, I've put a lot of thought and research into it.

This may be true, but let's look at where the program was when each coach inherited their respective team. Virginia Tech was mediocre independent football team that was hit with recruiting sanctions when Beamer took them over. We all know what he has done since then.

Mike London inherited a team that was leaps and bounds ahead of what Beamer rebuilt. The facilities, history, recruiting, major conference affiliation were already there for him. They had the winningest ACC coach at the end of the 90s. They took a step back during the Al Groh years, but they still put tons of really good players in the NFL.

London has the resources that Beamer didn't when they started their respective gigs. His inability to succeed is on him.

the hoos were making this argument on their own board, so I'll just sum up what the more realistic uva fans said:
Beamer was coming to a program in a non-major conference (wasnt in big east till '91) to a program coming off sanctions and was not getting great recruits at this point in time. London is getting top 25 classes every year, is in a BCS conference and has no sanctions. Besides, for every Beamer there are hundreds of Spazianis or Weis's

fun fact about the maryland highlight video (I got bored and watched that one) it includes several MD touchdowns, as well as UVa missing their field goal as time expired. At least theyre honest

I mean let's be honest could I really have been expected to graduate after last season? I have no problem waiting for my Hokies at the expense of my future

WHOA... Maybe this is the real reason Hand gave us the... uh, well... hand!

If only we knew then what we know now...

(+1 because I love the idea that TKP influences recruits to commit or that they are actually reading it right now)

Great find. But I am going to brave the down votes and play Saban's advocate.

In Beamer's first 44 games his record was: 17 - 26 - 1

I am in no way saying that CryBaby/TimeCop is the righteous golden god that Beamer is, but it is worth pointing out that winning, especially at a program that has not been winning for a long time, takes time.

We all laugh at London and the AD who keeps him there (I have made too many jokes to count) but I have the feeling that the Admin at LOLUVA is giving London the same amount of time Beamer was given. Roughly to 4 year cycles two build a program.

Now that that is over with, let me share in the TimeCop Laugh Fest
