VT/FSU Thread

[BrunswickDawg]

There's a lot of WT hate here that I don't understand. His first 3 jobs were at places that they were really bad to bad. He left all 3 in good shape and in bowl games

Because he didn't really accomplish that much.

Taggert was 2nd coach at WKU after their move up to FBS - and got them to 7-5 in 3 years. WKU was a very good I-AA program (a Natty and 13 conference titles) and they had a brief adjustment moving up.

USF was good under Leavit but bad under Skip Holtz (because Skip Holtz sucks), Taggert got them to 10-2, but they play in the AAC - and the competition is terrible (Leavit coached them in a much tougher old Big East)

Oregon was coming off a 4-8 year where they had lost 3 games by 3 points each - and he basically flipped those 3 games.

WT isn't a bad coach - but he isn't some miracle worker/next level coach.

Just don't give Akers the ball. Patrick is better anyway

Cam Akers - 7 yards on 9 carries

[ShotgunDawg]

Good lord

[msstate7]

Not one thing has gone right going to Akers. Not all of it is his fault, but damn, it ain't working

[msstate7]

Fuente is a puss

[msstate7]

VT should've gone for a FG

[Pit Bull]

Taggart play checkers & Fuente plays chess

This is coaching mismatch

Fuentes turned Memphis around big league....seems to be doing the same at VaTech?..wonder if the Hokies will be his last stop or does he have his sights set on a blue blood biggy one day!!!

[War Machine Dawg]

Fuente is one hell of a coach. Wish we could've hired him but Lateral Move didn't leave soon enough. I'm glad we ended up with Moorhead, but it remains to be seen if he's in the same class as Fuente. Winning at Memphis is damn near impossible, but Fuente did it.

Haven't watched a whole lot of this game, but from what I've seen, FSU's OL is trash. VT is just smashing them. Francois is constantly under pressure and being hit. No holes for Akers to find. Going to be a long year in Tallahasse if what I've seen from their OL is the case.

ETA: Since when are alternate spellings of Mullen filtered?

Watch out if Urban is out at Ohio State

Not sure I'd leave VT for Michigan

Fun seeing VA Tech whipping FL State. Would like to see VA Tech or UVA and one of the NC schools in the SEC East and have MO move on over to the West

Not so sure about that ... Michigan is a huge football name. And as far as I'm concerned, they totally outshine Ohio State academically.

Bud Foster is a defensive genius. Maybe the best defensive coach in the country

What does academics have to do with coaching football?

Yeah but it's a dead end job where the expectations far outweigh the reality.

Michigan has won 1 national title since 1948

They are basically the Tennessee of the north

[msstate7]

Lol @ akers. Having fun, champ?

I'll take Saban

[Commercecomet24]

I'll take Saban

Saban is elite but imo Foster is better. He's been shutting down high powered offenses for years without all the 5 star talent.

Ok, I'll take Venables

[Cooterpoot]

Akers still tries to bounce every run outside.

[RocketDawg]

That was definitely offensive pass interference.
