Coachingsearch says an offer hasn't been confirmed...
Well Temple and Auburn have terrible Qb's...so I can understand why they suck in pass offense! Logan can at least chuck it around, give him protection and a running and he's as good as any!

Loeffler had recommendations from Urban Myer and Steve Spurrier, both pretty good coaches to have...

# | Report: Hokies looking at Syracuse assistant Greg Adkins for OL Coach Adkins was a good recruiter in his earlier days as well. From his Cuse bio page:
• Troy: Recruited DeMarcus Ware (Dallas Cowboys)
• Georgia: Recruited Boss Bailey (Denver Broncos); Champ Bailey (Denver Broncos); Will Witherspoon (St. Louis Rams)
I will like it if they add him.
Hahaha I was just about to post the same photo...ACC Network fail
I know that Beamer wouldn't try to jerk the fan base that way, I just had to put it out there cuz it was bugging at me in the back of my mind, and you just killed it. Thanks.
The more I think about potentially adding Adkins to the staff, the more excited I get. Take a look at these numbers in sacks allowed. The furthest back I could find was 2006, which is convenient because that's the year Curt Newsome arrived in Blacksburg.

While keeping your quarterback upright is certainly a priority of the offensive line, so too is creating room for your tailback to do damage. Even more telling than sacks allowed is tackles for loss allowed - take a look at Adkins coached offensive lines versus what the Hokies have put on the field the past seven seasons:
Tackles for Loss Allowed
Tennessee
2006 - 64 total (4.92/game) - 28th nationally
2007 - 60 total (4.29/game) - 15th nationally
2008 - 65 total (5.42/game) - 43rd nationally
Syracuse
2009 - 62 total (5.17/game) - 24th nationally
2010 - 65 total (5.0/game) - 29th nationally
2011 - 62 total (5.17/game) - 23rd nationally
2012 - 55 total (4.23/game) - 11th nationally
Tackles for Loss Allowed
2006 - 79 total (6.08/game) - 77th nationally
2007 - 107 total (7.64/game) - 117 nationally
2008 - 93 total (6.64/game) - 116th nationally
2009 - 85 total (6.54/game) - 95th nationally
2010 - 90 total (6.43/game) - 107th nationally
2011 - 91 total (6.50/game) - 111th nationally
2012 - 85 total (6.54/game) - 104th nationally
I understand that Virginia Tech's stats could be a little skewed because of the fact that it has a "mobile" QB under center pretty often, but those numbers, IMO, are pretty damning. Would love for French or someone with better knowledge of the OL to chime in.
In addition to these numbers, Adkins was also recruiting coordinator for Fulmer at Tennessee and landed some pretty big recruits himself.
Really hoping CFB can pull this one off.
Gotta love the molestache.
I am sure some of that falls on the OC, but the entire team was hot garbage and I'm not sure what could have been done to change that.
Biggest problem I have with this is having Duke and UNC at home and away on the same years. No more trips down there every year...
= chug until fixed.
they were screwed up on TV too.
I'm hearing the exact same thing. Looking for confirmation!
A buddy of mine on the pay side says it is official, anyone else heard anything?
I feel a rebirth of Staches for Success. Especially if Andrew miller comes back with his Stache as well.
.........over Newsome percent.
I hear he's a good OC 60 percent of the time, every time
Pretty sure Adkins left when Fulmer was dismissed.
Note: I started this thought about midway through the fourth quarter. I hate to put a Heather Dinich-esque spin on what in the end was a conference win on the road. I thought we played great defense and showed a ton of resolve to come back and get the win and I don't want to detract from that. This is just what I was thinking about while watching:
Georgia Tech gave us every opportunity to win this game in regulation. It seems like we go through stretches where the offense turns into four guys watching one guy trying to create his own shot. This hurts us because a) it often results in a bad shot or a turnover and b) it takes the other four guys out of position to grab a loose ball or a rebound.
Example: After Green cut the lead to three, we followed up with three consecutive turnovers and were extremely fortunate that GT couldn't capitalize. Then we ran a set play in which everyone was involved, and while we didn't get a great shot out of it, Raines was in position to get the offensive board and score.
That's the key to good offense, keeping all five guys mentally and physically involved in the game.
Good OT win today! Needed this one...
Offering you a contract at VT, whaddya say?
Magnum P.I. gif
...........ARE F*CKING HIRED!
If he is confirmed and announced who does he bring in to coach the positions? Oline and QB specifically.
