I'd imagine that they are all inquiring about new jobs, but they have told each prospective employer that they might still stay if the new staff would keep them. There's no way that any of them aren't putting out feelers already.

he just has an infinite supply of rolls

So I was right about CJ's behavior. I haven't gotten to watch too many games on television yet so I haven't seen that from him. I'm hoping that'll change with the start of ACC play now.

And I'd have to agree with you about Beyer. I watched him live on Saturday and he was fired up, even when he was on the bench.

I was hoping my sarcasm would come through on that comment

...but how does the roll get back in the box?

You forgot an early 2000's Cane - Devin Hester. He was just as ridiculous in college. The best 2 punt returns I've ever seen were by him against Duke. Duke sucks but he just toyed with them.

this way, if one of the staff wants to take his chance with the new hire, he can wait and face the possibility that he'll be fired...or look for a new job now w/o the risk of being fired.

Marcus Vick, the gift that keeps on giving

By the time VT gets around to making an announcement, Marcus should have already served his 5 days and be ready to join the staff...

hokie4runner | 13 years 6 months # | Sherman to Purdue, not definite?

I'm pretty sure he told the staff that they can look around and be prepared in case the new OC cleans house. Which would explain why none of these offers, Sherman, Newsome, etc have been officially announced. If the new OC does, then they will all be placed.

is that CFB is willing to let a new OC decide who he wants to keep (if anyone).

perplexster | 13 years 6 months # | Well it seems ESPN already has us starting 0-1.

1d. (Wrap up tackles)I think the biggest thing I saw from the NC game was ND missing chances to tackle the Alabama running backs in the backfield or for a short gain.

2c. Get an offensive line coach who can actually teach these linemen blocking techniques all summer. If we don't they will be in the backfield before the ball is even snapped.

If he stays, then we're hiring a top end OC (ala Hamilton) that will feature him and give him a chance to grow and shine (i.e. increase his draft stock). If he leaves, expect minor/no changes. He's not going to put himself in this offensive system again and completely devalue himself.

I'm sure he knows what's going on. Afterall that would be like the Lakers hiring Mike Brown without consulting Kobe. And they'd never do that. ...oh, wait they did. I'm sure it will work out. ...oh, wait it didn't.

Purdue's offer was confirmed, not that he accepted it

Hokie_x3_Hi | 13 years 6 months # | Well it seems ESPN already has us starting 0-1.

Bama won't have the best OL since they are losing 3-4 players to graduation and the draft. It will still be a challenge, but their OL might be our best advantage since we have experience on our DL.

He's young and energetic (which no one else on the offensive side of the ball seems to be). Plus look at the list of players he put into "The League". I'll admit he had a bad year...but Stiney had 11 bad one (1 of those was average) and we're okay keeping him in a dimished role. On top of that how sure are we he was the decision maker to keep starting DR and MD? If he was, we have to hold Shane to the same standard since the RB rotation/situation was a joke.

TheVirginian | 13 years 6 months # | Well it seems ESPN already has us starting 0-1.

To beat Bama:

1. Flawless game schematically, offensive and defensively, against Bama's tendencies.
1a. Pressure on QB
1b. Bama has the best OL in CFB so you have to have the DBs play man to man, bring more people than they can block AND get to the QB and force mistakes and get inside his head
1c. STOP THE RUN

2. Offense CAN NOT take off a quarter or a half - by then the game will be over (See MNC vs. ND)
2a. Score TDs in the red zone
2b. Churn clock and wear their defense out by the 4thQ - a page out of Bamas playbook

3. NO SPECIAL TEAMS BLUNDERS

4. No penalties - The refs are going to be giving Bama the benefit of the doubt on EVERYTHING (See MNC vs. ND). Must play a disciplined, focused game and be able to overcome ref bias to WIN.
