    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.

    it better be soon or I might drive myself crazy panic

    Maybe your MODS know just are respecting their sources and not saying anything until given the green light. It's hard when sports guys here in Roanoke are telling more of what they know than the insider site is.

  • why would the o coordinator at Stanford move to tech. Honest question not trying to insult. Stanford as a program is more prestigious at the moment and I would assume they have more money to offer as an institution. Not to mention the west coast weather and solid returning offense. Really looking for an honest answer from some VT fans.

    From what I have read.. He is originally from the east coast. He wants to raise his kids at a not so populated area like Cali. He also does not want to live in DC(Graduated from Howard) so what better place to raise your kids away from a very populated city.

  • Pep is an East coast guy, went to Howard and some people say he wants to come back toward home.. Palo Alto cost of living is ridiculously high, as successful Stanford is they don't have a big fan base/following.

    Advantages for VT = closer to home, cost of living a lot less, much higher salary that what he is getting now, ability to run our offense and bring in his own guys.. Also a stronger fan base/following.

    Things are quiet right now with plenty of rumors around that Pep has already accepted the job but our guru's say that isn't the case. Time will tell.

    I don't know if accepted is 100% correct, he wants to come it's all about working out the money as of last night. All things considered things would have to completly fall apart on the money side for this not to happen. It's good to be friends with a guy that is a partner in a business venture with Frank. Frank talked to Pep weeks ago on the phone and asked about the interest in the job if it came open and Pep said he was interested and then the plan was to meet at the coaches convention. There is a lot more to the equation like who Pep wants to bring in and if that can be worked out money wise and then the rest of the staff as well has to be adjusted. It looks good though.

  • Also just to clarify, Pep wasn't the only person Frank called weeks leading up to the coaches convention but it was just feeling out interested parties that Frank had an interest in. It's also been said that after he interviewed Pep he did indeed interview the others that he said he wanted to talk to.

    That tracks with everything I have heard. Not done, but supposedly very close.

    This is somewhat true. However one of the biggest sticking points is whether or not Frank can handle a guy that's going to be gone in 2-3 years. That's the exact opposite of how Frank works.

    This same guy said Frank had 4 years left max. It may not even be that long, This will be his last major hire. That is why he isn't doing it as quickly now.

    Who knows? I was told Thursday or Friday at the latest now being told next Monday or Tuesday. I think he wants all the coaches announced at the same time is what I'm hearing and I know that drives you guys up a wall, it would me too. But like I said Pep is going to be the OC, don't know the other coaches yet was just told he was interviewing from 3 leagues, College, NFL, & CFL.

    4 years, or if Bucky is a stud, he will ride his career out, imo.

    Uhhh yea. Itd be a legit question if we had some stud waiting in the wings ala Tyrod. Logan can be good when he doesnt have matadors at OL, and isnt used as a fullback to keep the O moving. He was very good week 5 through the Sugar Bowl of his Soph year.

    Ok I was just curious. I hadn't really kept up to speed on your next in line QB..I know you got a good one in Bucky, but I hope for your sake he redshirts

    I don't think it matters if Bucky is a stud or not. 4 years is it, I trust the guy he goes on vacation once with Frank every year and I golfed with both of them a couple of years ago at a charity golf tournament here in Roanoke. Frank is a good man, don't care if he coaches at VT or not I had a blast that day, and oh by the way Frank can put some beer away too. LOL!!
