Assuming Shane is in the same role next year, I hope he is capable of handling this. I thought he might have tried to play "pleaser" too much with his rotation last year. This is a part of the job, and you can't always do what's best for the team and make everyone happy.
No established back but lots of optimism. This somehow feels eerily familiar.
That is an awesome problem to have.

# | Thoughts on Aaron McFarling's "Time for a change at Tech" Column Don't ruin it for me.
In my mind...she is single, available, interested and my wife is understanding.
I feel bad for whoever has to make the decision between, harris, edmunds, coleman, holmes, mangus, and gregory. Hopefully someone will dominate the spring practices and make the choice a little easier.
i love the idea of an edmunds/coleman backfield. i really think jc could be a great change of pace back to compliment edmunds. i jut hope they stick with a back and quit the rotation that happened this year. i thought it was a horrible coaching decision and never allowed for anyone to get in a groove. i hope the o line can improve to help whoever will be in the backfield
What's most interesting to me out of all of this is how wrong the coaching staff was, at least initially, about Michael Holmes. Maybe that has a lot more to do with him being an inside runner and our G-C-G combo being woefully inconsistent, but Michael never really got going and more or less disappeared for the second half of the season. Given Edmunds, Harris, and Coleman being available, and Tony Greg having a better year than usual, it's hard to imagine Holmes wanting to stick around. I feel bad for the guy.
Between Edmunds, Mangus, and hopefully Harris, and with a year under JC's belt, next year has to be better. Right?
Edmunds showed flashes, but I don't think it was cut and dry that he should have been out there.
In general, though we do a great job recruiting quality backs, so I expect that the running game will be better next year, assuming they have a line to help them.
I have been very high on Mangus since I first saw his high school tape, but I hope the "looks good on the scout team" jinx that struck Holmes doesn't get him too.
Do we have new coaches yet? Or, at least, is it time for the bowl game yet? Snore, nod, snore.

So that's the second lineman Drew's gotten us then?

S/o to my Hokie brother Drew Harris (@hollacide) !!! His part of why I made that decision !! #hokienation !! We ready to work !!— Jonathan McLaughlin (@jglock1993) December 21, 2012
With redshirting do you ever know if it was a bad decision? It's just as easy that if he didn't that he would've gotten buried in the depth chart as everyone else got a chance above him. He may be the type to make an unblocked guy miss, but can it do that consistently behind a line the was always getting pushed back? Obviously we will never know, but perhaps in the long run it will help him that next year he will be given a (hopefully) better line and a (hopefully) better new OL coach to help. The other issue was the WR blocking that KILLED the east-west scheme. Next year with DJ Coles leading the way and a WR core that will (hopefully) actually block might just lead the way to a great year for him. Personally I think we could've had Williams or DMFW back there and they still wouldn't have looked as good as they really were given the shit-tastic blocking we had all year.
funny story...i know the kid who's dating her...
Not to be lame, but good on Logan for getting his degree and to do it early is even more impressive. Understand he redshirted, but he's still a semester ahead of the norm. He's a solid ambassador for Tech and will turn it around next year!
Eligibility is only determined by number of years taking classes. A lot of football players graduate Fall of their R-Junior year due to the fact that they are in their 4th year of school and because they often take classes over the summer and participate in summer workouts. He would just have to enroll in a graduate program and continue his education to keep playing.
Just saw Logan graduate today. Can he still play if he graduates?
SOURCES on anyone ever thinking MD7 was the #1 receiver prospect in this class? Come on
Hello Leal/Parker/Hodges/literally anyone that isn't a goddamned converted tight end.

FYI- Multiple college coaching staffs think Malcolm Cook is a big-time safety prospect and will be a steal. Four stars by @247Sports

That would be some sweet Holland Fisher insurance.
No way CFB retires before Weaver.
I don't like that he didn't tell London to his face, especially after Shuman chewed him out. Also, academics could be an issue. Shuman would need to put in a strong word on his behalf I think before Beamer takes him.
As we go through the post season, I will try to review the entire 2013 class, and I am sure Joe will work to post more interviews of 2014 commits.
I don't know how standard it is, but Beamer did an in-home visit to land Ryan Williams.
If no coaching changes happen, Logan has to be seriously thinking about entering the draft at 3rd round pick. Nothing would hurt his nfl status more than another year like this one.
It's as easy as stealing candy from a Wahoo.
Johnathan McLaughlin will finally bring the kind of no-nonsense political commentary that VT football has been desperately lacking since William O'Reilly graduated.
For what it's worth, I heard the same rumor. As far as I'm concerned (and hope), nothing more than a rumor.
