"falls short"... I see what you did there....
The guy who became interim HC had an incentive to see if he could be named permanent if he did well enough. Or at least showcase himself for another position. And he chose to stick with Drones anyway. That seems to say something.
I hadn't considered that it's quieter because the bad guys are on the other side, good theory!
I don't think anyone expected the locker room issues that year. I sure didn't
I did too. I thought he'd bring us a natty, as silly as that sounds now
I went to this HC event in the offseason before 2018 and Fuente was speaking there.
Some old guy asked if QP was going to beat out Josh Jackson and Fuente looked at this dude like he was fucking nuts then took a deep therapy breath (similar to what I do when one of my toddlers asks something objectively insane) and calmly explained that QP got way less reps in high school than most QBs and he needed a lot of practice.
In hindsight, it's wild how much expectation-managing Fuente tried to do that day. I think he knew 2018 was going to be a step back. I don't think he expected the locker room issues and whatnot.
This continuum continues....
I think they kept running Drones out there because he had 50 lbs on Pop. I don't think Pop would have survived two games behind our OL.
Apparently, they don't. They require coaching.
The VT TE/QB jokes write themselves.
Really thought Quincy Patterson was going to be special. Physical freak, great arm talent, smart kid...thought he was the total package.
Mike Moyseenko has been named Asst QB coach. Was Hokies Asst TE coach prior.
Chruch will be wrestling at the Scuffle
Sounds good. I think I'm going to miss the morning sessions for Midlands and Powerade tomorrow but I'll be back by mid afternoon
Do it here, I updated title and lineup from Wrestling Twitter in OP
His resume is fine. I could find away to bitch about it, but I won't.
I imagine it's an upgrade over cheetah.
Meh, if he wasn't a Hokie, he probably doesn't even come up on anybody's radar. Not sure how his secondaries performed but his current stop is a demotion from his previous positions at the NFL level. Also, his last 12 years have been in the NFL, so I think he falls short as far as recruiting goes.
Should I make a midlands thread tomorrow or just do the updates here
How would y'all feel about Anthony Midget as CB coach
In addition, we had a coaching staff with no incentive to see what we had with Pop.
This is where I miss the old days. Grunkenmeyer would be a RS Soph next year. RS Huhn. Then after next year we have a RS JR and a RS Freshman ready to step in after he leaves. It is what it is now though. Just bring in bodies that can actually throw a ball at this point and I'm happy because good QBs are gonna leave to start somewhere.
That's just proof of the arms race imo.
Exactly.
Gray hasn't set the world on fire as a Recruiter but he has shown consistent ability to be a high-level developer.
That's why he was a target, not because of VT nostalgia.
It is what it is, maybe his ties to Shane were too strong to break but he was a guy we wanted in an tenuous job and we couldn't close-- that's not ideal no matter how you want to rationalize it.
If we hire somebody who has an equal or or better resume, then no issues are had. If we sign another guy with a paper-thin resume, then I think even the most ardent fans are going to have trouble searching for justifications.
It's all coming together as it should. Hopefully this week!
