I'm not, some of my earliest football memories are watching Vick play in 99. and the GT game cancelled when lightning blew up Lee Corso's rental car


Well, if you are that young, then at least it's explainable. Vick singlehandedly made them relevant, sort of. They had absolutely zero business in the BCS game that year, and yet every local sports reporter here, and any Tech fan thinks they actually have a chance at winning a Natty every year. It's absurd. They are a mediocre football team that has tended to punch over their weight, mainly because of Foster really, and Beamer before he forgot how to coach special teams (really he just played starters on ST, and now everyone else does this too).

Half my family, a couple ex's, and many friends of mine went there. My much younger sister in law is currently there. I'm not saying this as some random person from somewhere else.

ODU is currently way higher on my shite list though, their fans are next level delusional. I called the UNC blowout last year when the game was scheduled and got a rash of shite. Until the game happened.

If true I will be eating some serious crow. Moonshot home run hire if this happens.

Gotta be uncertainty in Blacksburg if this shakes out. He's been a loyal soldier there & always mentioned as a successor, but Hokies need a fresh regime if Frank is out the door.

The people clowning on this hire are clueless or jealous of Aggie. Or trolling. Would suck if this happened

Early 20's , I was 7-8 at the time. Yeah VT has thrived as an underdog with less talent. It's time for Beamer to "retire" though. Foster wont be the next head coach there, and he has known that for a couple years now. Either this year or next year a team is going to get a great DC.

For Bud Foster to leave VA Tech Beamer must be on his last leg.

Seeing as how we will pay him more than Chavis makes I think I would say he is a rich man's John Chavis.


A&M fans are quick to point out the amount they pay their coaches.

That comment is just absurd though. LSU currently has the highest paid staff in the country.

You are forgetting that Cam makes $1 million to watch Les call the plays.

Beamer is gone after next season, no matter what. Word is that Witt (AD there) came very close to firing him this offseason, but agreed to give Beamer one last season to try to go out on top

Bud Foster is the only reason they went into the horseshoe and came out with a W. Against the #4 scoring O & #8 total O in the country.

From what I've seen, Foster may have been told that when Beamer goes, they probably won't be hiring from within, thus the willingness to look at taking another DC job.

That's not crazy in the least.

Foster is 10x the D coordinator Muschamp is.

Muschamp is 10x the recruiter though. A&M doesn't really need a recruiter, but USCe could use it.


ETA:
To expound, Bud does more with less. Muschamp has always had wayyy more talent than Bud. Give Bud Foster 5* talent all over his defense and you’d see something pretty special I think. Boom has not proven to be as consistent as Bud either.

So things should work themselves out on the Foster rumor. It may end up being an agent leak / troll for more VT money.
It seems the agents love to troll the big rich texas schools.
