The Blue Board

For the record even though I think 5284 is a prick, I still think Pep would be a homerun hire for VT. Hell he causes us fits in N. Va already at Stanford one could only imagine what he could do recruiting for a school 4 hours away.

I think they would consider bringing in OB in to help London's development, I don't see it as an over the shoulder wondering if he was going to lose his job. I think this would be a homerun hire if they could pull it off. That and the possiblity of bringing in Dana Bible as well shocked me this morning.

Makes me miss livining in VA.

Well played +1

I'm sure Hamilton has job security and Stanford is a great university but it's no secret Shaw will likely stay there for a very long time. Also, add in the fact Shaw is an offensive guy, I'm sure he has his say with regards to calling plays etc... I don't think it's a stretch to think Hamilton wouldn't consider coming to Blacksburg and being THE man on offense. It's two hours from home, about 4 hours from DC......the cost of living in Palo Alto is almost double that of Blacksburg (so his $600K translates to a little more than $300K) and the median cost for housing in Palo Alto is 5 times more than Blacksburg. From a career standpoint, Hamilton knows that Beamer is near the end of his career so it's far more likely he could succeed Beamer as HC....contrast this to the situation at Stanford. Unless Shaw were to leave, which is unlikely, Hamilton would have to go somewhere else anyway to become a HC.

As far as TOB is concerned, maybe he'd rather step away from being the HC for now and take on more of a supporting role where he doesn't have to field questions from boosters, the media etc...a little less stressful.

I used to make trips to my buddy's place in Franklin County. They had the best White Whiskey. When the shine was in, the clothes where drying on the clothes-line under their front porch. They would keep the clothes on the line through rain/sleet/snow until the batch was gone. They used to make a special "tea" too.. Man I miss that stuff, but alas, I get drug checked

If London is so poor of a coach that he needs TOB to come in and coach him up, why wouldn't you just fire London and make TOB the HC? Seems much more logical to me.

Also TOB has a non compete where he can't be an ACC coach until 2015. But from what I have seen he is working on a buyout on that part of his NC State contract.

It's also pretty ironic London needs an old white guy to teach him how to coach

Some of you act like London can't coach a lick, that's not true, he's made his mistakes but he's also made some good decisions as well. The one thing about London that concerns me though is not owning up for the mistake he made in Blacksburg by not using his timeouts and forcing the field goal earlier. I was pretty sure he was going to make the FG regardless but at least would have loved to have 1:05 to try and either tie it back up. Him saying the talent gap was closing at the end of a game he could have won had he coached it better bothered me quite a bit. I would have much rather him take the blame himself and that it be a lesson learned. Who knows if those thoughts have changed since the end of that game to now. i sure hope so.

Even Les Miles was screaming at the tv for London to call a timeout.
