If this works out. This is homerun hire for VT. Kind of jealous.

No way TOB is a better hire

But now that it is officially out there the real fun begins, offers, counters, NFL, agents.
A HR it certainly would be

I think it gets done, they have Pep's # $$$ now it's just what they are going to have to pony up to keep the current coaches that are staying happy. May not be a big deal for some of them but I don't think it will go over well with some that have been there a long time if they don't get a raise after seeing what Pep would be making.

Bud will probably work for minimum wage if VT can field an offense that doesn't go 3 and out, over and over again.

Didn't think of it that way. Also any thoughts on a coach in waiting scenario?

I would highly doubt that happens. I don't think that has worked at a single place it has been tried. Off the top of my head, all of them have failed.

Not sure that works for either side. If he gets an offer he can't refuse then he is seen as breaking a "promise" and that is just stupid. I also think that if this works then Frank may want to stay a year or 2 longer than what maybe he thinks he does now.
I agree we have some coaches on staff that need to be taken care of when this gets done.

Honestly, if he comes in and cleans up the offense and we get seriously into the MNC hunt, he's likely to be the next coach if he wants. Other coaches are either too old or too young to be considered

I don't think it happens either. Some think if Pep wanted something like that it would be considered.

My feeling is not the slightest chance in hell it happens. I would seriously doubt it. Haven't we only seen those in situations where the guy named coach in waiting in alread on staff?
That is just my feeling. Could name him HC, Weaver retire, frank replace him, and the Hokie bird gets named OC. I know as much as everyone else here, which means I know as little as everyone else here.

Looks like 5284 is wrong again, I'm hearing if the money can be worked out Pep to VT.

Hahah where does it say that Pep has been hired by VT? Just because Beamer is meeting with him doesnt mean much. Weve got a better shot than last week, still a few sticking points however.
Ill be the first to admit im wrong if we hire him, and ill be very glad to admit that. Just dont see it happening still.

Frank will still interview everybody he wanted to talk to even though Pep had a great interview. Unless one of the three blow Frank away I take it you guys will be happy. Maybe not telling you something you guys don't already know but same person told me that none of the guys Frank wanted to talk to runs the spread he wants a power running attack.

I know your close to Shane or at least claim to be maybe Shane still wants to be the RB coach and that won't be the case if Pep is hired. So maybe Shane can tell dad to go in another direction. LOL!!

How do you keep the handle in your butt? Do you oil your butt guide? How thick is your rod? Want to see my Ugly Stick®?

I've been hitting all the retention ponds in the area, these things are filled with bass. When I see a no fishing sign, I start casting.

Damn been a slow day. Guess you guys will be happy as hell tomorrow though. I would have thought somebody would have broke the Pep story even more by now, maybe they have I don't have access to VIP on the Scoop. Should be tomorrow, Friday at the latest. All about the $$ now.
