Lots of coaches would do equally well or better with the resources at SC

Did you know that the SC football budget is equivalent to #3 in the ACC or #3 in the B12. They have plenty of money to buy top players and coaches. You can speculate all day and say that others would not do as well as SB, but that's all it is, speculation. The reality is that SC is not a hard place to win in the current world. Just look at Vanderbilt for evidence. All you need to do is smartly apply the vast SEC resources and a top team can be quickly assembled. SB is old school and conservative and not some magical football whisperer at SC.

BOV Selection Committee..for a new coach
JRHokie • 10/24/25 02:23 PM ET
Stoops and Beamer seem to have interest by the committee that are rejected
ChrisLords • 10/24/25 03:08 PM ET
Agents plant all kinds of info for all kinds of reasons.**
marcbvtgm • 10/24/25 05:48 PM ET
Beamer being rejected is stupid
hokiepro • 10/24/25 03:29 PM ET
If his name wasnt beamer he would ve bland
1947Sunbowl • 10/24/25 05:45 PM ET
We have been 62-59 since Beamer. I don't think the problem is Beamer.
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 07:01 PM ET
Not at all part of the problem**
hokiehowl • 10/24/25 07:11 PM ET
So if his name was Jones and he was an SEC COTY, he would be bland?**
VTCALS72 • 10/24/25 06:56 PM ET
So one year at 9-4 (5-3) is good enough for you?
HokieAl • 10/24/25 04:23 PM ET
Because the SEC schedule is pretty damn tough.
hokiehowl • 10/24/25 05:10 PM ET
What are you talking about? We are discussing qualifications for VT HC
HokieAl • 10/24/25 05:16 PM ET
Let me ask you a question. How many coaches in college football today
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 04:45 PM ET
Lots of coaches would do equally well or better with the resources at SC ◄
HokieAl • 10/24/25 05:14 PM ET
So who is your top guy that is realistic? Care to "speculate"?**
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 05:17 PM ET
No I don't know enough coaches across CFB FBS/FCS or NFL to speculate
HokieAl • 10/24/25 05:21 PM ET
Then you can't know there are "lots" of them?**
VTCALS72 • 10/24/25 06:58 PM ET
Shane has solid credentials :P
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 05:23 PM ET
Barring a miracle finish,he will have losing seasons in 2 of the last 3 yrs
Gobbler Guru • 10/24/25 03:55 PM ET
I hope shiny objects and unwarranted hubris doesn’t get in the way.**
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 04:26 PM ET
Who is this Shane Smith you speak of and has he won anywhere previously?**
Sunsetunderground • 10/24/25 04:25 PM ET
What does that have to do with anything? I thought we were trying to move
bburgnative • 10/24/25 03:39 PM ET
Your comment against Beamer has no substance.
hokiehowl • 10/24/25 05:13 PM ET
The record. That's what matters. **
40ozDistrict • 10/24/25 05:55 PM ET
I thought we were trying to be good again and whether that is a Beamer
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 03:43 PM ET
The second that lineage is in HC job, is the second John Ballien still…
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 03:48 PM ET
Another ignorant comment**
hokiehowl • 10/24/25 05:14 PM ET
Oh do tell: Which part?**
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 05:24 PM ET
More wins than Spurrier at SC, top 10 wins, and 1 of the few P2 candidates
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 03:51 PM ET
Huh? What info are you looking at? Spurrier at SC was far superior
HokieAl • 10/24/25 04:16 PM ET
Shane had 29 after 4 seasons and Spurrier had 28. That is a SC record.**
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 04:23 PM ET
I will say on a 5 year trajectory Spurrier will end up with more, but the
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 04:26 PM ET
When Shane wins a Natty like Spurrier call me
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 04:11 PM ET
No one is saying Shane is better than Spurrier. That is foolishness.
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 05:00 PM ET
Bob Chesney is a more proven football coach than Shane w/15 years as a HC
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 05:23 PM ET
I have Chesney very high on my list. Above Shane actually so no argument.**
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 05:27 PM ET
If VT can’t attract Chesney & his staff, might as well go FCS
Hokiefied • 10/24/25 05:37 PM ET
Hard to tell. Kiffin may open Ole Miss, UNC could open, Nebraska if Rhule
vivitron73 • 10/24/25 05:42 PM ET
Spurrier won a Natty at USCe ? wow who knew ? **
uber hokie • 10/24/25 04:55 PM ET
How simplistic of you. That’s adorable.**

Thank you i typed it slow just so you could read it .
