TG was better....

than Cheetah ever was but, not nearly as good as he thought he was. He had a difficult time accepting the reality he was an Indian and not a chief, at least at that time. That was a big issue in Beamer's last years and a stark contrast to his earlier staffs, too many thinking they were chiefs and not willing to be indians.

What about D’Angelo hall**

That’s probably a lucky break. Might be the most overrated coach in VT…

No opinion on if TG was good at his job or not

I just want a DB coach that teaches to turn & look for the ball
Hokiefied • 12/29/25 09:10 AM ET
That's an issue with coverage...not technique**
AirborneHokie96 • 12/30/25 09:47 AM ET
Very common technique that is widely taught. DBs are being taught
Hokie_Forester • 12/29/25 03:17 PM ET
Talking about reading the receiver & turning to play the ball as it arrives
Hokiefied • 12/29/25 03:25 PM ET
Only the elite master that. Most are taught to defend it without turning
Hokie_Forester • 12/29/25 07:18 PM ET
It's not taught b/c it's not a solid technique. You can't be looking back
AbsolutVT03 • 12/29/25 03:16 PM ET
I can see in the future receivers on long routes will fake out their cover

That’s what I’m talking about **
Hokiefied • 12/29/25 03:20 PM ET
And they are already being taught to do that. But knowing it and doing it
AbsolutVT03 • 12/29/25 03:45 PM ET
Too much to ask :(**
V333T • 12/29/25 11:31 AM ET
Yeah. VT hasn't been able to put DBs in the NFL due to this poor technique**
marcbvtgm • 12/29/25 09:25 AM ET
This poor technique is widely used. **
