He doesn't do elite offenses. He has a Beamer mentality offensively.

Ball control offense that leans HEAVY on the running game, plays the efficiency game, and the explosive plays break open by either long passes or long runs. That's why his defenses are always so great (nearly top 15-20 every year) and his offenses average ranked around the 50s or so. He wants to wear you out, then let his playmakers make plays. So, we agree that we know that philosophy all too well with Beamer's offense. I hope that he has an offense that puts more stress on defenses, and maybe PSU firing him allows him to reset that philosophy. He is in fact an offensive-minded coach, so he's fully capable.

Would Ricky Rahne really be the best ODU coach to be the VT OC?

I don't understand trying to replicate PSU past. Pry made that mistake.

Here is Rahne addressing those rumors yesterday.**

Saw that. Did the usual dance, but didn't put it to bed.**

Speaking of Bowen, guess who else was a former Fordham OC, Kevin Decker.
VTizzle • 11/25/25 03:00 PM ET
Decker is interesting because
Jobushokie • 11/25/25 03:44 PM ET
Not making a case for Decker, just making the point...
Techsupport • 11/25/25 03:06 PM ET
I hear you. One of Franklin's talents is hiring assistants.
VTizzle • 11/25/25 03:15 PM ET
Agree w your criteria, however offense is why JF isn't still at PSU...

He told Roth and Burnop that he's realizing people want to see offense

Nice post**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 04:15 PM ET
He said he wanted to open it up at VT.**
EDGEMAN • 11/25/25 03:26 PM ET
That's not a high bar.**
marcbvtgm • 11/25/25 05:15 PM ET
True for VT...hoping it's more "wide open" than PSU.**
EDGEMAN • 11/25/25 05:27 PM ET
I don't think we're getting him. Who do you want?**
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 02:59 PM ET
At least 4-5 years as an OC at P4 level, w/ stand out stats.**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 03:11 PM ET
Would Joe Moorhead fit your criteria of stand out stats?**
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 03:16 PM ET
Being average at Oregon doesn't make me warm and fuzzy, no.**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 03:27 PM ET
Who fits your criteria? Starting to feel like you're seeking a dinosaur?**
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 03:40 PM ET
Gave you the criteria. You can do a search**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 03:51 PM ET
Ahhh, yes, the objective criteria of "stand out" stats. Maybe this person
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 04:06 PM ET
What's your criteria? A pulse?**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 04:16 PM ET
Your strawman doesn't have a pulse.**
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 04:21 PM ET
Are you a prick at home too, or just here?**
Techsupport • 11/25/25 04:25 PM ET
Do poorly in an exchange; resort to name calling.**
BG Hokie • 11/25/25 08:02 PM ET
a OC + QB connection.**
VTizzle • 11/25/25 03:01 PM ET
Well,we have an experienced OC up I-81 in Roanoke...**
HokieBrazil • 11/25/25 03:00 PM ET
Who now has a 20+ volume playbook. **
EDGEMAN • 11/25/25 03:05 PM ET
Until it becomes two liner to simplify after we lose badly in the opener**
