...you'd hear about it. 🙄

On a different site, they stated we were working on hiring an Asst for the Bills.

Exciting young coach. Lots if people wanted him originally when pry came on

heard the name. Doesn't matter to me. My 3 biggest wish list items: - Be an aggressive playcaller throughout the game. Till the final whistle. I'm tired of watching us give up leads because we thought we were safe and started playing not to lose. You get to 50, let's talk about taking your foot off the gas (unless the other team has more than 30). - Take what we do well and the other team does poorly and scheme appropriately. I feel like for most of my VT fandom, we have been the opposite. Stop playing to the other team's strengths when it also happens to coincide with our weaknesses. - Don't get outcoached regularly. Be someone who has seen a few things and knows what other coaches are trying to do. I don't care if you have the players to dictate the game plan and tenor of the game. At least be in the same zip code as their intentions.

1) Aggression without purpose is reckless. And, sometimes, it is better to be methodical and deliberate than it is to go all out. Any good OC will tell you that or any knowledge fan will tell you that. Maybe, the opponent had a long (5-6 min) drive, special teams scored a TD and the opponent had another long drive. The defense will be gassed, so you may want a slow, conservative drive to let them catch their breath. Maybe the other team is just bad and you don't want to give them hope. I remember a VT-UVA game a few years ago (2017). We won 10-0. It was pretty clear early in the game, UVA couldn't do anything. In a situation like that, you want to play it smart because 1 mistake by trying to be aggressive could've given them a turnover / score and then it would be a ballgame. 2) That is literally the job. It's stupid to say aloud. If any OC or coach in any sport tells you otherwise, they're not going to be a coach any longer. Listen to any of our OCs and they'll tell you in their press conferences what they were trying to do and why. No OC will say, "they've got the best run defense in the world, we're going to run it down their throat." They may still try to run, if that is the core of the team, but they'll tell you some version of "we went after their weakest link." By the same token, if they have a great shutdown corner, sometimes it's better to put your worst WR on that guy and let your other guys take on the other dudes. I remember a Packer - Seahawk game a number of years ago when VT's own, Jarrett Boykin lined up against Richard Sherman all game. Sherman was pissed he didn't follow Davante Adams because the Packers just schemed Richard out of the game. 3) That is literally the point of performance management. Pry did it with the S&C and OL coaches, plus the DC. And, frankly, sometimes other people are just better.

...(paraphrasing) "I don't think the other team's scheme/strengths should change what we are trying to do as an offense. We just have to out-execute them." My head almost exploded when I heard that.

And then misrepresented the other one. There’s nothing wrong with wishing for an aggressive defensive philosophy. Nothing in his #1 wishes for aggression without purpose or for recklessness. You added that and then called it stupid. Maybe less whiskey would help you think more clearly.

I prefer we pull the starters so one they do not get hurt and two we develop depth with game experience.
