That’s exactly what Beamer did back in the 90’s with his special teams.

He blew everyone’s minds with his approach to special teams, and rode the wave of success until it was old hat(and he taught everyone)... now, we have no advantage there anymore.

So, maybe we could find a new angle... not sure what it is... but I feel it has to do with something about the people and the place... and making Tech so appealing that talent wants to come here, and stay here. Players who stay and develop into NFL talent and don’t even think about a portal trip out. The portal only comes in!

Anyone seen Moneyball? System was rigged for the bigger richer teams. -- jonnyhawk 11/12/2021 12:30AM

We need approaches to build via the portal, and number one for a program -- banishedtothelounge 11/12/2021 09:39AM

I agree with you. Finding under appreciated talent in the Portal is vital -- jonnyhawk 11/12/2021 09:42AM

I've always believed a 3* recruit after 4/5 seasons = a 5* player... -- banishedtothelounge 11/12/2021 09:50AM

You might have something there. Let the coordinators run the team! -- jonnyhawk 11/12/2021 09:33AM

I believe in your plan JH12-0! Don't let the DebbieDowners -- HokiePokie95 11/12/2021 11:54AM

That's it for me. I try to start ball rolling, if not one keeps it going -- jonnyhawk 11/12/2021 12:04PM

Cuz what you propose is not how the real world works -- fordham 11/12/2021 09:42AM

Fu doesn't work ... -- MaryWashGrad 11/12/2021 07:05AM

I would argue that Fu is a product of a poorly organized system. -- jonnyhawk 11/12/2021 09:53AM

Fu is the head coach ... Yeah he deserves blame for poor performance -- MaryWashGrad 11/12/2021 12:18PM

You're 100% correct -- HokiePokie95 11/12/2021 01:19AM

Crashes -- StautonHokie 11/12/2021 05:58AM

Like an airline dealing with Dan "D.B." Cooper, we'll have to pay a buyout. ** -- KCHokie2 11/12/2021 02:00AM
