#1 in the ESPN Bottom 10 at 0-10, 117th in passing yards, combined 46.2 completion percentage, and 4 touchdowns to 12 interceptions out of a combined 5 QBs.
All of this one year removed from a 12-2 season.
Start Knowles and Fuller. This is the key difference between our offense and our defense. Bud Foster has never been afraid to make changes to his defensive personel when necessary and will bench guys if they don't play hard enough. On offense we keep playing guys like Marcus Davis just because they have talent, but if they're not giving it their all then they shouldn't be in the game. Knowles and Fuller have been clearly the two best receivers on our team. Knowles is really coming along well and always plays hard, same goes for Fuller.
I dont like talking bad about the players, they are just kids. Then there is this.....where is Chris Carter's "COME ON MAN!" when you need it? It can be summed up in one word...."LOAF". And you can quote me on that shit too!
ploy to get Marcus to play harder when he starts the second series. Nothing more.
which means it's going to be on ESPN shortly.
is one of the sacrificial lambs this after we lose the Big Lots/Zumba Fitness Bowl.
Dyrell or Marcus? I say we just start Fuller and Knowles.
This one is definately the best. I almost laughed a snot bubble! LOL!
Seems to have deleted his tweet since then though...
sometimes the truth hurts and you (the VT coaching staff) just have to face it like men.
1) The issue at Kentucky was over a decade ago and he was one of the only people on the staff that was cleared by the NCAA. You forget to mention he was at Auburn after Troy which was after the Kentucky situation. So another proven coach in Tuberville trusted him to come to a SEC school after the scandal.
2) Beamerball, special team clinics, lunchpaildefense.com all of it coaches using influence to make outside money. He's previously sold ownership to his partners while he was at Auburn so if it was an issue might not be a deal breaker for him to sell his consulting firm. Feel like a coach who has tons of connections to HS football programs would be valuable for recruiting.
3) We've run a semi spread quite a bit. My favorite win over the past 2 years was against Miami and we were a basically a spread team that Saturday. Spread isn't a dirty word and doesn't mean having to pass all the time. Just in the ACC UNC and Clemson have become spread teams recently.
is brilliant. Well done!
Pretty funny that was uploaded by techsideline adios media privileges?!
@smartfootball Tough to win when you have players that are allergic to contact. That was a disgrace to all the Hokies that invest so much— Trent Dilfer (@TDESPN) November 12, 2012
How have the coaches not done anything about this by the 10th game of the season? Some of these could have been huge plays... Bench Davis and give Demitri the starting position.
That Beamer actually held special teams conferences for a while to teach other coaches about his system in exchange for the cash moolah... Hell, you can buy one of the guides through the itunes...
1. That might be a major sticking point with Beamer who values loyalty so highly.
2. BeamerBall.com does exactly that, the coaches appearing on TTL is another way they sell themselves. Side hussel is already happening in Blacksburg. I'd argue it's a recruiting advantage, coaches are asking Franklin to come help them, and he's developing a great network.
3. I truly believe the coaches want to run a version of the Clemson offense this fall. The primary reason why they failed, they don't have the expert like Morris to pull it off.
I bet you Coale and Boyking make that block. Also from what I have heard is that Stanford would have made that block. oh well...there is always next year.
it is disturbing IMO.
if we hired Tony Franklin. Shocked.
It's been mentioned a couple of times recently, here and elsewhere. But in case somebody doesn't know...
1. Franklin was blacklisted from college football for writing a tell all book about Mumme's regime at UK. He spent 4 years in arena league, then has worked his way up from Troy to MTSU and now to LaTech.
2. He sells the Tony Franklin System to high schools. Can you imagine a VT coach having a side business peddling his wares?
3. He runs a spread.
it's fun to think about, but if that's the offense you want, you're rooting for the wrong school. I would guess if it isn't Friedgen, it's some other OC you recognize and has been around a long time.
Me neither.
