What's this?

C'mon man, stop making excuses for guys that are getting paid 6 figures...

to coach a game. They are getting compensated very well to get criticized and second guessed, and they knew the nature of the job before they got into it. If Fu, Corny, or JHam can't handle the heat in Blacksburg, they need to find another kitchen.

Gonna be interesting to see what Cornelson can do this year. -- Pride_and_Joy 04/26/2021 1:56PM

Well above average? curious and Serious?? -based on what? ** -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 11:42AM

Total O stat was in top quartile of FBS and P5. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 11:46AM

Another way to look at it in relation to scoring & opponents in common -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 12:04PM

There are also gameplan -- JoWood07 04/27/2021 2:34PM

I don’t understand. Those are opponents in common w/ whom? -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 12:10PM

The 3 teams we lost to due to poor Offense production -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 12:16PM

Why would you only include the losses? -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 12:18PM

Winning the game is the objective not the stats you cited -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 12:23PM

If winning is the objective, why wouldn't you include games we won? -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 1:29PM

Nice try but our Offense is inconsistent & below avg in the ACC ** -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 1:45PM

Instead of responding, "nice try" and just reasserting your original point -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 2:12PM

Apologies how about you doing the same analysis on the teams we beat -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 2:17PM

O was ranked in top third/quarter. D was not. Pretty easy to figure -- Pride_and_Joy 04/29/2021 1:35PM

What do you mean, nice try? It wasn't below average last season. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 2:08PM

Would have been nice to see a preview in a spring game ** -- BROman Hokie 04/27/2021 08:22AM

I can do without the inevitable gnashing of teeth that -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 08:42AM

C'mon man, stop making excuses for guys that are getting paid 6 figures... -- BROman Hokie 04/27/2021 09:37AM

The point wasn’t that the coaches should be shielded from criticism... -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 10:07AM

Who said they can’t handle the heat? -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 09:55AM

Our fan base has a low tolerance for ambiguity, that’s for sure. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 08:24AM

IMO is will be lackluster, at best. ** -- hokierevisionist 04/26/2021 11:47PM

IMO, the offense will likely regress slightly with no Herbert or Darrisaw -- Zanderhokie 04/27/2021 07:58AM

With a 🤡In the Press Box Calling in plays to our QB... ** -- accfootballrules 04/27/2021 08:30AM

Eh, we were actually pretty decent on offense last year -- Zanderhokie 04/27/2021 11:25AM

The O sputtered way too often, like vs UNC early and vs Wake & Miami ** -- BROman Hokie 04/27/2021 12:32PM

Some guys just gotta -- Tombo 04/26/2021 8:14PM

The fact that you view my comment as pot stirring says more about -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 08:16AM

I disagree. You appear to have been commenting -- Tombo 04/27/2021 10:58AM

No one used the word provocative. And if you can't figure out what I mean -- Tombo 04/27/2021 11:54AM

What part of the OP is provocative? ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 11:50AM

The "gonna be interesting to see what cornelson can do this year" crowd -- kingofcassell 04/26/2021 6:27PM

Let’s see us score 30 points plus against the Big Dawgs..... -- accfootballrules 04/27/2021 08:32AM

It’s not really a crowd. It’s just me. But I like that you’re trying to -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 08:12AM

Yep, exactly ** -- hokierevisionist 04/26/2021 11:45PM

He had a stud OL and a stud RB. It will be interesting to see how -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/26/2021 5:46PM

The OL return 3-4 potential NFL guys.... -- AirborneHokie96 04/26/2021 6:43PM

"Potential" is the key word here. You don't simply replace -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/27/2021 09:17AM

Darrisaw is the only one that can't be replaced this season -- AirborneHokie96 04/27/2021 10:13AM

^^^this^^^ a LOT of stud Fu'fensive talent just went Jamerson Exit Stage ⬅️ -- bourbonstreet 04/26/2021 5:48PM

Yeah. I'm done. Call me when we have a new administration. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 04/26/2021 6:42PM

Clemson is looking for “fans” ** -- fordham 04/27/2021 08:35AM

Bye now. Enjoy thy life. ** -- seacain 04/26/2021 7:08PM

Truth. I don't understand the optimism at all on the offensive side of -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/26/2021 6:06PM

I think there are some things to be excited for -- PF 04/26/2021 6:20PM

There are certainly things to be excited about, no doubt. However -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/27/2021 09:18AM

Having full spring with an understood starting qb will help -- Hokie1992 04/26/2021 6:48PM

...killing my writings, tho'. Qb1 is THE money-maker alpha honey hole. -- bourbonstreet 04/26/2021 6:51PM

I like to think I speak a fair amount of b’street -- Hokie1992 04/26/2021 7:59PM

...IF they stay healthy? Should be: 'okay'. Not epic, okay enough. ** -- bourbonstreet 04/26/2021 6:08PM

Yup 6 years on how to run an offense...... ** -- accfootballrules 04/26/2021 3:54PM

I'm sure it'll involve a lot of jet sweeps to the short side of -- UEMcGill 04/26/2021 3:54PM

It put us in the top quartile of offenses in FBS and P5 -- could be worse. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/26/2021 3:57PM

Herbert did that. We hadn't had a running back threat like that in a while. ** -- UEMcGill 04/26/2021 4:04PM

No, OL did that. Herbert wasn't touch in many cases until 5+ past the LOS ** -- AirborneHokie96 04/26/2021 6:44PM

Yes, having good players is sort of important too. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 04/26/2021 5:37PM

Good OL and good RB (who someone else coached for his entire career) -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/26/2021 6:07PM

Curious to see who if anyone steps up at RB -- PF 04/26/2021 2:33PM

One of his most underrated attributes was his ability to block. ** -- BuffaloTraceHokie 04/26/2021 6:08PM

Yep, Herbert, Darrisaw, and Nester will be tough to replace. -- Pride_and_Joy 04/26/2021 2:35PM

Nester was already replaced with Johnny Jordan from UMD ** -- AirborneHokie96 04/26/2021 6:45PM
