Why can't we do both?

weaver steps down as beamer steps up

Beamer will not be AD and should not be AD. He will have a large role in the Athletic Department as a figurehead and spokesperson, but he does not have the skills to be AD.

Me too. The more I read about this kid the more I can't stand him. Spoiled ass rich brat.

I think the closest he came was to Clemson back in 08. That being said, Beamer and Weaver have 5 year contracts that end about the same time, if I recall correctly. My guess is that with Beamer aging, and Weaver's Parkinson's (God bless...) that the two 5 year contracts were no fluke. i.e. weaver steps down as beamer steps up. Considering Foster has not taken a head coach job, it would seem like VT has promised him that within the next few years, a change will happen.

That being said, it sort of scares me too. I think you have to let Foster coach when Beamer ultimately retires, but there is no guarantee he will be great. He is a phenomenal DC, but can he be both a great DC and HC? If not, we could lose a great DC and average HC. On the other hand, if he doesn't get the promotion and VT hires someone else, he will be out the door, I would think. Either way, he will be head coach of the hokies one day...Beamer has literally groomed him.

And as a pipe dream...Foster and Beamer help groom Shane into being a great coach and voila...coaches for the next 50 years. lol

Words cannot describe how opposed to this idea I am. London is an absolute buffoon.

Just in case, we should go ahead and secure the movie rights. 30 for 30 would definitely go for that story.

He's a stud. I think I have my new man-crush

No way they can rely on 5-stars as a reason to keep him IMO. That would be accepting him for at least 3 more years (have to let those kids develop). So that can't be a thought that goes through the AD's mind. Then again, this is UVA and their terribleness at football boggles my mind.

Hokieshibe | 12 years 11 months # | Question: Support other ACC teams in out of conference games?

Agreed. The only problem I have with Clemson is that cheer where it sounds like they forget how to spell "Clemson"

"C!
L!
E!
M!
S!
O!
... [frantically sound it out/look at your media guide]
N!"

He isn't saying it out loud but he has been at VT for a long time and hasn't taken a HC job elsewhere. One would think either he has no ambitions to be a head coach or he's waiting on Frank to retire and wants to be available and untarnished by a failed HC job at a bad school.

Keystone. It's smooth, like Keith Stone.

Is there any evidence that he's actually a good coordinator? If so I haven't seen it. I know he won a title at Richmond but I don't remember him putting on a coaching clinic those years.

FWIW, I think London is safe this year unless they're a complete disaster. If they're 4-8 or 5-7 but competitive he'll be able to point to the two 5 star recruits he's got coming in and that should buy him another year.

We have a restaurant downtown called Brewer's Alley. I don't go there much but everyone I talk to says their brews are pretty good too.

I was kind of hoping he would be eligible, so bama could have 2 losses in three weeks.

This may have escaped the attention of everyone else, but Teller is a gigantic human being.

That's why no one will remember your name

I hope he's ruled ineligible on September 1st.

Frederick, MD? I'm in Northern VA and need to get up there to go on a tour. Their beers are banging. Honorable mention goes to Heavy Seas up near Baltimore as another on the list to go tour.

Why can I only up vote this once?!

I may have posted this before, but hypothetically, imagine if Vince, Corey, Kyle and Kendall all have 4 sons each. Our defense and receiving corps will be ridiculous in 20 years, and for an extended period of time.

Legit question (and this is obviously assuming nothing catastrophic happens) but if Corey makes the Lions (or any other) roster, and Kyle and Kendall both end up in the league, would that be the first time a set of four brothers all made it to the NFL?
