Since I’m not in the know and don’t feel like looking for it…what is a “get back coach?”

Literally responsible for making sure Venables didn’t get too far onto the field during game day. His 9-5 jon is strength coach though.
Sean McVay has one in the NFL as well. Great fluff piece material.

Documentary about him and four British guys just came out recently I think.

Looks like we signed the 9 recruits that were expected to sign. Lost the one OL to VT today, which sucks, but not shocking.
Keeping 9 on board though is solid given Elliott couldn’t even meet with them in person and prevents any massive problems. He should have his staff mostly assembled by the time the recruiting dead period ends and they can hit the trail hard before national signing day. May be a little difficult, but I’m sure they can supplement the class, plus they’ll probably bring in some transfers.

Seems like the one time transfer rule is a huge benefit to coaches in this situation

I will say, it’s a little rough going on 247 and seeing us ranked 14 our of 14 in the ACC for the 2022 class while VT is now 4th and has two guys previously committed to us… BUT, this is likely the low point. Maybe there will be a few more bumps as Bronco’s staff officially depart and some more guys on the roster decide to hit the portal, but I think it’s going to be mostly uphill from here. Next month or two should be interesting and fun.

If Arch Manning isn’t signed by Feb I’m starting a riot. What is Elliott waiting on?

Why is everyone so obsessed with Arch Manning? Even if he wasn’t 72, I seriously doubt he has any eligibility left.

Stop it we have no chance of getting this guy 
Then fire TE and get me someone who can get him.

I hope we return at least 8 players on defense or we might actually be worse next year.

Is that possible? I thought if they just line up with 8 players on D next year they may actually be better. Less PI calls on the back end
