This team might be okay if they use NIL to get better players. I’m just not sure if they’ll ever be better than 6 wins with this staff. Maybe they are but I’m skeptical.
Getting their asses kicked today will take away a lot of the goodwill I had for these coaches
Don’t need to punish myself. I’ll see y’all next year (or next bball game)
Fields fell for what it’s worth before people start piling on the kid QB
I don’t understand why we don’t schedule a cupcake basketball game with a tip off right around the start of the second quarter of the tech game. It could save lives.
It’s so infuriating that VT as a fanbase has ONE thing to hang their hat on, which is beating us consistently in football. Take that away and they have a below .500 season in the only sport they care about with an athletic department that has 0 national titles.
And we just refuse to field a competent football team and take it away from them. Frustrating beyond belief man.
Maybe Colandrea shouldn’t have run his mouth about beating Tech and then play like this.
Sigh. They have more TDs and INTs than we have first downs. I was hopeful, as much for evidence to build on the dream that maybe CTE really is the guy to turn things around, as for really believing it. But…
I know its early, but calling it a catastrophic start feels like an understatement.
@Jerome the coaches pushed that talk. Jesus Christ.
Even Ballhawk said as much
I’ll give this staff this off-season and next year. But if they’re not dramatically better from a W/L perspective, we need to start fresh after year 3.
Colandrea looks like shit
Sounds like boosters and administration will be ponying up money for NIL this off-season. I think this will increase urgency. Boosters won’t want to see their money go to waste. This staff will get one last shot at bringing in talent through the portal and improving HS recruiting. No bowl next year and they have to get the axe.
Punting like shit too
One effective strategy seems to be having VT rough up Coleandrea. We get yards and don’t have to depend on his accuracy. Win win. Let’s lean into that
Remember when people were saying AC was going to transfer to the $EC or something.
That was always insane. “We don’t have any talent but our backup QB will be coveted by Bama”. Like bro what??
Thank God for 2019. I’d be so much more miserable without what happened in basketball and football that year
