1947Sunbowl

its funny about offensive coordinators

During the time, folks were complaining, questioning his calls, and citing we can do better martra... Past Ricky, Gary, and the rest, fans always seem to second guess the offensive coordinator. Even Bowen at a time was questioned, and some folks were ready to run him out of town. What a tough business. At the end, I've always liked Bustle's comments about coaching with Vick and his calls. He simply said, when you have Vick, who just created situations, it makes anyone look like genius. At the end, if you got the players, and the 'it' quarterback, you can do alot.

So I just watched a highlight video of 1999...
SarahVTHokie24 • 07/05/24 02:05 PM ET
Corny gets a bad rap...
Techsupport • 07/10/24 05:03 PM ET
Bustle was overrated as an OC. VT was one of the most talented teams in
uvabasher • 07/07/24 04:58 PM ET
Overrated by whom? I've never seen much Bustle worship anywhere...
Techsupport • 07/10/24 04:42 PM ET
1999 highlight video of Michael Vick
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/06/24 11:42 AM ET
Bustle wasn’t a bad OC
Hokie1992 • 07/06/24 09:40 AM ET
Bustle also said there was the play called and what MV ran was not the same
HardTimes • 07/07/24 05:14 PM ET
I think Bustle's quote.......
2hhoop3 • 07/07/24 05:33 PM ET
I thought he was good during the Druck years
crazylane • 07/06/24 11:18 AM ET
He definitely had VT rolling along after that Cincinnati game
VPI_1998 • 07/06/24 11:21 AM ET
its funny about offensive coordinators ◄
1947Sunbowl • 07/06/24 10:35 AM ET
Bowen was rightfully questioned. Thanks Brent Davis!**
NokieHokie • 07/06/24 11:34 AM ET
True..if it hadn't been for Davis, I think Bowen would be gone
SarahVTHokie24 • 07/07/24 02:49 PM ET
The best a coach could do was to NOT get in Mike's way
EDGEMAN • 07/06/24 11:15 AM ET
If it ain't broke, don't break it.**
TomTurkey • 07/06/24 05:03 PM ET
Certainly, plenty seems blatantly obvious to the skilled armchair QB
Hokie1992 • 07/06/24 10:57 AM ET
You are not wrong. Bustle had an identity
Fatman • 07/05/24 10:05 PM ET
Frank didn't let him go in pursuit of a pass first O, he left to be a HC
Vienna_Hokie • 07/07/24 02:43 PM ET
He did call a risky pass from deep in VT red zone to win one game
TomTurkey • 07/06/24 10:23 AM ET
I remember a long pass to Holmes in the Pitt game in '95
VPI_1998 • 07/07/24 05:21 AM ET
That is probably the one I remember**
TomTurkey • 07/07/24 08:40 AM ET
Beamer admitted plays could be the ones Mike ran, not the ones called. **
133182Hokie • 07/05/24 04:51 PM ET
Absolutely. Heck, Ricky would admit it. He said they just sent a play in
UEMcGill • 07/06/24 04:49 PM ET
Ricky also said MV1 could throw the ball "through the crack of dawn".**
Atlee Hokie • 07/06/24 07:38 PM ET
I was at that Temple game.
RJHokie • 07/06/24 06:14 PM ET
We bought tickets from Temple for $5.**
delawarehokie • 07/07/24 06:53 PM ET
I was there, too. The place was so empty it was pretty scary.
UEMcGill • 07/06/24 07:37 PM ET
ok it was a different time and culture.
1947Sunbowl • 07/05/24 03:17 PM ET
Offenses have certainly evolved in the last 2.5 decades
Hokie1992 • 07/06/24 10:28 AM ET
Corny is quite a low bar. **
RJHokie • 07/05/24 02:33 PM ET
An "extremely" low bar !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/05/24 08:02 PM ET
As is any OC at VT lol.**
NokieHokie • 07/05/24 07:58 PM ET
Some are a lot worse than others.
RJHokie • 07/05/24 08:06 PM ET
OMG I forgot about O'Cain - thanks for the reminder :)**
VPI_1998 • 07/06/24 11:53 AM ET
Stiney thanks you for forgetting him**
Hokie1992 • 07/06/24 10:47 AM ET
Tranquil was the only coach who could stop DeShazo**
Happy Dog • 07/06/24 07:43 AM ET
Ruined DeShazo**
VT One • 07/07/24 08:20 AM ET
DeShazo was hit with the Tranquillizer dart. **
Zanderhokie • 07/07/24 08:26 AM ET
Preseason Heisman candidate - tanked by Tranquil**
TomTurkey • 07/06/24 10:39 AM ET
Truth!**
RJHokie • 07/06/24 10:08 AM ET
You forgot Stiney**
jecvtmgr • 07/05/24 09:42 PM ET
Stiney was actually a lot better than those three,
RJHokie • 07/05/24 10:07 PM ET
You can call them all dumb and dumber.**
NokieHokie • 07/05/24 08:38 PM ET
Well, Frank hired two of them……**
RJHokie • 07/05/24 08:42 PM ET
I'm not taking the bait LOL!**
NokieHokie • 07/05/24 08:45 PM ET
BY FAR my least favorite coach at VT
hokiepro • 07/05/24 03:48 PM ET
That’s hilarious coming from you**
Brewing_Hokie • 07/05/24 08:17 PM ET
It’s truth **
hokiepro • 07/05/24 09:22 PM ET
Yeah but it wasn’t when he was here for you….**
Brewing_Hokie • 07/05/24 11:23 PM ET
Corn? Yeah it was
hokiepro • 07/06/24 09:23 PM ET
😂 you’re wild **
Brewing_Hokie • 07/06/24 10:09 PM ET
That goes back to Fu. He could have taken over those responsibilities
VTMONEY94 • 07/05/24 11:00 PM ET
When he did it was too late
hokiepro • 07/05/24 11:29 PM ET
Agree, which is why Whit is my MAIN culprit in our demise**
VTMONEY94 • 07/05/24 11:30 PM ET
I can't recall ever hearing him speak.**
likehokies • 07/05/24 05:12 PM ET
Offer him some Juicy Fruit. That'll get him talking.
KCHokie2 • 07/05/24 08:55 PM ET
Right
hokiepro • 07/05/24 06:55 PM ET
The worst
lazarus1 • 07/05/24 04:51 PM ET
I always thought Fuente muzzled him
crazylane • 07/05/24 07:47 PM ET
You only thought that 'cause he, did. +several**
