I was just surprised that he came armed with that list, ready to go
Coaches that Frank Beamer spoke to during OC search: John & Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Lloyd Carr, Urban Meyer, Bobby Bowden...— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
Will Muschamp, David Shaw, Bruce Arians, Jim Tressel, Steve Addazio. There's more, but that should give you an idea of thoroughness. #Hokies— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
Hopefully they're not all involved in an elaborate conspiracy to set us up for failure, heh heh....
why can't they ever get the technicals right? No audio sync...lame
I can't get hokiesports vids to play on ipad.

I don't know how well the hokiesports site works for anyone else, but I have found youtube always works better for me.
Here is the link for those on mobile or have the same problem I do :)
But "Grimes made me need new pants" makes me excited to see it.
I think the hot 7-0 start masked what a rebuilding process this would be. Erick Green might be the best player on the floor in every game we play from here on out, but after that, we don't have much. I figured Brown and Eddie would blossom, especially with all the attention Green gets from defenders, but they haven't been overly impressive.
Doh-Doh (yes I spell it like Homer Simpson would say it) was expected to be a major contributor this year, and at the very least Montrezl Harrell could have added minutes off of the bench. It's a credit to JJ that he was able to get Green to come back for his senior year, Wood to enroll, and is is squeezing all the potential he can from non-scholarship players. It's unfair to criticize JJ because he's only halfway through his first season, has no previous head coaching experience, and he has a budget staff to lean on. However, life is mostly unfair, and it seems JJ's seat is starting warm (already). Jim Weaver deserves a ton of blame. Based on performance, I don't think Seth deserved to keep his job, but the timing of his firing was totally botched. Weaver doesn't spend big, and you don't bargain shop the night before Christmas.
Regardless, this is going to be a tough road, and what we need more than anything else is a talent injection. If I'm going on nothing but Rivals stars, Donte Clark seems like the only ready-to-play prospect in the incoming class (http://rivals.yahoo.com/virginiatech/basketball/recruiting/player-Donte-...). The rest will probably need time to develop.
Either way, I'm going to support JJ. He was put in a tough position and is doing his best to win with what he has. I've accepted it's not going to be pretty.
Representin the 804 in style
You're hilarious and very classy.
Awesome guy :)
when hiring new assistants.
Another highlight of the presser.
You guys are scaring the piss out of me....because you may be right.
My fault for not being specific. The second one was not a charge. But early in the first half. A similar play happened where Deron did stick his entire groin in his face and plowed him and they called a block. Probably the toughest call in basketball, but I believe Van Zegren's should have been a block or a no-call.
Also, thin Frank Beamer is short.
Yeah, they never even touched each other. Paulus flopped as they are seemingly taught to do at duke.
Just posted online in the video archive - http://www.hokiesports.com/videos/?sport=football
i'm not sure that the defensive player established position before the offensive player could change direction. could have a been a no-call in my opinion.
Is there any place I could catch it after the fact?
in slow motion he really isnt set. Maybe his feet are initially planted when he reaches a defensive stance but as Joey elevates so does the defenders body and you will notice the defender almost elevates to his "tippy toes". However in real time its a bang bang call and will always be a 50/50 on which way it goes.
Exum stole the show and set up for a very exciting spring....i can't wait for the Spring game
Hell, there's even a chance we could finish this season at 2-16. I highly doubt it'll happen, there will be a couple games that enough players show up to that we'll get the W.
But I honestly think that with our current lineup, next year is going to be terrible. 0-18 is a real possibility, unless a couple guys step up.
But, there's no way we go completely winless, we should still beat the Georgia Southerns of the world. Oh wait...
Conclusion:
Loeffler seems no non-sense and is ready to produce a good offense after a gloomy year at Auburn.
Grimes made me need new pants.
Moorehead brings a certain young culture into the program and knows a thing or two about the position, including blocking.
I love Exum.

Frank Beamer starts presser by thanking O'Cain, Newsome. "We weren't as efficient as we needed to be and I felt we needed some changes."— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
It's the same deal with OL Coach Jeff Grimes. Will make $150k through June 2013. Salary jumps to $265k in 2014-15. #Hokies— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
Beamer says Loeffler in charge of offense. Grimes will be run game coordinator.— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
Beamer happy he was able to "convince" former OC Stinespring to stay on staff. "It's kind of an unusual situation," Beamer concedes.— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013

Scot Loeffler says he learned a lot of lessons from unsuccessful year as Auburn OC. Won't discuss what those lessons were. #Hokies— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) January 25, 2013
