Beamer put them on the map, but his time has come and gone.

VT needs to make a change at HC after this season, IMO.

They were in it with the #1 team in the country until they lost their starting QB. No one was doing anything with Motley at QB. Team eventually gave in after they knew Motley was completely useless.

Nope. No they don't. If Brewer didn't go down the game would be very close.
 
Who's job is it to make sure the college program has decent QB depth?

Brewer isn't awesome, by any stretch. And the kid is a transfer. That's on Beamer.

The fact that VT has nothing at QB is a direct reflection on the HC.

Just like us having to go with a true freshman last year was an indictment of Al Golden.

I seriously don't understand how some of yall are so hard on Golden, but have tons of excuses for every other coach out there ...
 
You're right. Fire him for losing to the defending NC and current consensus #1 team after leading at the half and losing his starting QB.
 
I'm not advocating his firing because of 1 game. Tonight is just another example of Beamer's best being behind him.

"Beamer ball" hasn't been around in about 5 seasons.

That program lost in the Sugar Bowl to a team that has already fired the coach of who beat them.

Times change ... And, IMO, the time has come for VT to make a change at HC.

No, fire him for being mediocre. By the way, don't think that their fan base is at all pleased with him. They saw what happened with Paterno, and don't want the same.

And while guys are giving VT credit for "keeping it close until Brewer got injured", nobody is adding that Ohio State was without about 4 elite level starters ... Including, arguably, the best DLineman in the country and an all-American return specialist.
 
Beamer is basically in the same situation the fat guy with the orange tie is in, win 7 games and his job is safe

Agree, Motley looked like he was 14, and they couldn't find a helmet small enough for him. Brewer had VT moving and they were starting to believe they could do it. Can't believ that was the best backup Beamer could find in a relatively fertile recruitment area. Up until Brewer going down I was thinking no way tOSU holds on to #1 . But they might, although certainly not by voters who actually watched the game.

True that.
 
It'll be interesting to see what they do in the post Beamer era. He put them on the map and we'll see what kind of money they put towards the next guy. The fact that he's kept them ahead of UVA is shocking.

I'm curious to see what hàppens with Bud Foster. I'm sure he has been staying put because he wants to succeed Beamer. Interesting to see if he gets the job or where he ends up if he doesn't.

WHAT?!..."having to go with a true freshman QB"?

"Having"?

UCLA just blew UVA out WITH a TRUE FRESHMAN QB, what was Folden's excuse with Kaaya last year again?

And you're right, it's Folden's job to make sure we have "decent QB depth"...BUT, who's job was it when we lost Dwayne Lawson to YOU GUESSED IT!...FRANK EFFIN' BEAMER?!

Could care less about Flubber. I do hope they lose every ACC game! Can't stand there fanbase like they have won something and have talked smack for an average program that will never win a National Title...

Well for one, the saying "you're always harder on yourself than others" holds true here

2nd: Beamer has done more with 3 stars than Golden has with 4 and 5 stars. A lot of us use to give Golden the benefit of the doubt But that is long gone. We're hard on Golden because he sucks and has not shown any signs of improvements.

Basically saying Miami was good enough and talented enough to be in the ACC championship game. No team in the Canes division comes close to the talent Miami has. But Miami keeps competing for 4 in the coastal.
