The Case for Chadwell
Over the last few weeks, I've seen a lot of disinterest and dislike for Jamey Chadwell as a potential candidate for the next head coach for Virginia Tech. I'm not here to say he's the best option - hell, he's not even my first choice - but I'd be pretty pumped about the hire if Whit announced him on Monday. I am writing today to make a case for Jamey Chadwell to be the next head coach at Virginia Tech.

OT Derrell Bailey Jr. has put his name in the transfer portal
#Hokies OT Derrell Bailey Jr. has put his name in the transfer portal, @TheAthletic has learned. The 2020 signee out of Tennessee arrived as a D-lineman but quickly moved to offensive tackle, where his 6-foot-6 frame figured to fill out. His only action this year was vs. UNC.β Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) November 23, 2021

VT COACHING SEARCH PART - I DON'T KNOW, JUST FOLLOW ALONG

Hatin' On: Bronco Mendenhall
"Hoo do you do, fellow kids? Get it? It's like that popular internet may-may from that very relevant, new, hip show on NBC called 30 Rocks. Except I replaced "How" with "Hoo" as a clever reference to my current employer's alternate nickname, indicating that I too am on the up-and-up and hip with the zeitgeist. This hat is so stylish and cool. My wife says it makes me look like Lane Kiffin."

ACC Bowls 2021
The ACC started a new bowl cycle last year, although COVID royally screwed everything up. So I'm a little out of practice with how all of this is set up.

Did we win the football game last night?
VT football is at the strangest state I can remember it ever being while being a fan. I (and it seems many others) just don't care about the actual games right now. I know we played Miami last night, and at this very moment I just woke up after going to bed quite early and don't know if we won or lost. I figured I could log in to TKP and just look at the tracker and surely be able to find my answer, but no vent thread or no FAM thread.
I do know based off of group chats I am in that there were tac shaver ads and some flashlight you boil. But barely any football was talked about.

Potential Coaching Offensive Analytics
Just because Ive heard a lot of people say "I dont like this guy hes just an 'x' or we cant bring this guy in hes 'y' or I love this guy hes a homerun hire" etc.
I wanted to see how our offensive analytics from broad to some deep analytics over the last couple of years stacked up with some of the names Ive read as potential coaches
Datapoints:
*All averages are based solely on the time the coaces were there. I just ran it through 2016 when Fuente started, but obviously not all the coaches have been there that time * denotes years coaches were not the head coach at that school

Bruce Feldman talks VT & Napier on the Solid Verbal
Neighborhood podcast junkie here π Very exciting VT talk on the Solid Verbal today. I tried my best to transcribe the two quotes below. VT talk at about 40:30, Napier talk at about 42:35.
When asked about how good of a job VT is compared to the rest of the ACC (specifically, compared to Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC):
