....you run with that new opportunity until it does or doesn't work out. In a perfect world, you can have an offer in hand to play against your current employer. If so, the suitor can be 99% done and still lose it.

# | Pep Hamilton rumored on Coachingsearch.com as possible staff additon In addition, none of the mainstream guys would run a "rumors" article without hearing things behind the scenes. The wheels are in motion, it seems, we'll see what happens.
that wasn't the case. He said very early on he wasn't interested because our offense wasn't "pro-style." He broke up with us, we didn't break up with him. Just like Hackenberg and EJM before him.
WVU looses bowel. They crapped all over the field.
Over the weekend I heard from one of my friends that is very close to the team (family member of a coach) that Steiny was not going to be fired completely but would stay on as the recruiting coord. He didn't have any info on the possible new hires for the OC position.

All he could tell me was that Stiney would stay on as the recruiting coord.
He didn't have any info on the possible new hires for the OC position.
I'll say this about all our current coaches (yes even ocainspring et al.), they know how to spot talent and know how to look beyond recruit ratings. That's all well and good, but we need some serious coaching changes on the attack. Seems to be just a matter of when, not if.
"But a different kind of move could be down the road for the 38-year-old, whose name has come up for NFL and NCAA coaching vacancies in the past year. Some of the openings — should Virginia Tech Coach Frank Beamer shake up his offensive coaching staff, as expected, Hamilton’s name has been mentioned as a replacement — would bring him closer to the city that always seems to be a stop on his coaching road."
I just looked back through his timeline, and couldn't find any tweets that seemed to reference his coming back. I'm not sure I was seeing everything though, in the case of it being a reply to someone else, for instance... Can you provide a link? Be interested to see exactly what he said. Thanks!
With guys like Xavier Rhodes going into the draft, wise choice on his part. Plus, 2012 proved we can never have enough DBs.
The line ensured Hogan wasn't sacked last night, against some beastly Wiscy players. Stanford's offense won the battle in the stats (except in rushing (i.e. Montee Ball)) and points department. There is no doubt in my mind this is exactly what we need.
I had mixed feelings about the Stanford offense after watching last night's Rose Bowl.
There were times when Stanford went a bit too "multiple" for me. They ran several plays out of spread and empty set formations - - why do this when your bread and butter is to maul?
With that said, when they line up with two tight ends and a fullback, it really is beautiful. They also execute those plays so damn well. The combination of power running and vertical passing to mismatched tiget ends is probably pretty tough to beat. The way Stanford systematically destroyed VT in the Orange Bowl is a pretty good testament to that system.
I also believe that this system would be pretty dominant in the ACC as everyone else is gearing up to defend spreads. I think it would be hilarious to watch kids who came from 7 on 7 systems get beat up by pulling guards.
I used to work for NASA. That ship got a big hole in it back in 2009 and a lot of people bailed out. There are a lot of people in Huntsville that USED to work for NASA
....that don't involve the Hokies, which is about 99.9% of them. That said, once the rumors shift from social media/blog chatter to the mainstream press, don't they eventually get shot down by someone IF there's not substance behind them? The next few days should tell us a lot.
I think the most aggressive thing Beamer has ever done was his almost-departure to UNC. That move was well-played from his perspective, so maybe he has something up his sleeve this go-round. If we get a top-notch OC and are able to move Stiney to recruiting coordinator, you can consider me impressed AND our program a legit contender for the foreseeable future.
Do you have any insider info on this Pep Hamilton rumor?
Don't forget BEATBAMA ON gameday!
all they care about is their team, they dont follow any other players or teams out there at all. They dont care about college football, they care about cutting a player on national signing day to sign a 5 star blue chipper. They fail to realize that we rolled with them in the chic fil a kickoff and had them beat, they fail to realize that vt wast the last road out of conference win against lsu, when they signed whats his face that transfered to uva, all i heard was oh we just signed the best qb out of virigina ever, he broke all the records, and i said he would never pan out, and guess what? he didnt, thats why we didnt sign him. My personal opinion, fuck bama, fuck lsu and the sec, the are only top heavy, the rest of the conference is so mediocre, hokies go forth and commit this act of badassery and show them what we are made of! BEAT BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You live in Huntsville? Wanna get me a job at NASA?
But on a serious football note, it's going to be a tough game. The big advantage I think we have is that we're going to have a whole offseason to prepare for this game. Foster spent the whole offseason last year preparing for Georgia Tech's offense and did a hell of a job, so I fully expect him to have a great game plan set up for this game. I'm a believer in winning games at the line of scrimmage, so I'll be watching how our O-Line looks in spring practices before making any judgement on our chances.
I can’t stand Alabama or the SEC really. I was told that the ACC should be a prep league for the SEC. After last year’s NC I congratulated a Bama fan for their win in late February and he said “Yeah, and what about Korren Kirven.” Bama fans are full of it. These guys do not need to win another NC. If they did and we beat them next year they would just tell us 15 NCs. My personal opinion: We have all heard “Roll Tide Roll”, well they need to take some of those Rolls and just go with Tide for a while because it is getting real deep down here in Alabama and someone needs to think about cleaning this mess up. We need to bring the cleanup crew on August 31.
Side Note: Their OL is going to be practically all brand new going up against our Vet DL. Looking forward to seeing how that goes.
GO HOKIES!!! and BEAT BAMA!!!
At this point I'm just on pins and needles waiting for somthing to happen

Have we ever made an aggressive move for a coach? What is the most surprising move we have made within the coaching staff? Grabbing Junior Beamer? The O'Cainspring experiment?
With all of the blog and twitter chatter now appearing in the press coupled with Stanford's offensive success, I can't imagine Stanford is going to let go of him. Whether Beamer retires in 2 years or 10, the program has one thing left to do and with an offense we are a legitimate contender. He knows this and will do something but I can't imagine it will be potentially this...glamorous of a hire.
What ever those brothers were fighting about, it wasn't how to create a user-friendly, modern, easily navigated news site.
that there is a deal in place for someone already, thus the staff moves we have seen from VT and the lack of discussion about incoming coaches.
I will be pulling hard for the Tide to win a National Title on Monday. It is going to be amazing to beat the back-to-back National Champions.

Pep could love Stanford and be angling for a raise. Although, given that Beamer is the elder statesman of college coaches, I wonder if out of respect he wouldn't be playing him. Or, he might genuinely be interested moving closer to home, but a butt-load of money keeps him in California. Either way, it's not Pep or bust though.
