No Shane would not be an upgrade

His name needs to be set on fire, then locked in a box, set the box on fire, then throw some gasoline onto it, drench the burnt ashes with acid, and then scoop it all up and launch it into the sun. The numbers are clear. Average across the board in conference, and has only stood out by doing well OOC (4-1, 4-1, 2-2, 4-1, 2-0). But his average game is also boring. Here are the offensive PPG for his years: 2021: 19 2022: 31 2023: 12 2024: 17 2025: 20 (ranked #113 and below VT) Here are the defensive PPG for his years: 2021: 26 2022: 30 2023: 24 2024: 14 2025: 20 None of this stands out as a resume that VT should hire (other than winning OOC, which I give him credit for).

Very little chance he gets fired.

Totally disagree. There is very little pressure on the school to cut him

His numbers are similar to his fired predecessor - Muschamp.

Why not two head coaches? Franklin and Beamer. VT could be a first....
hokienole • 10/20/25 09:35 PM ET
Pry and Foster as co-DCs with Fuente as QB coach/OC, Stiney coaching OL**

SC will be done with SB. Better them than us 5 years from now.**
40ozDistrict • 10/20/25 09:26 PM ET
VT hiring Shane would be very VT and show they've learned nothing
hokeyhokie • 10/20/25 09:13 PM ET
Yeah the article suggesting VT could be Beamer's "safety valve" is telling.**
