swickles posted:I meant more along the lines of keeping him a year to lower the buyout. Its a bad look if you can't land the top prospect coach who was the face of your school for a while. Better to just keep Riley and go after then top guy next year. It would be like if Tebow was the hot coaching name and he turned down Florida for another school. This is dumb. He’s a bad coach and they have more than enough money to pay the buyout. Would you have wanted Florida to keep McElwain another year?

They have a shitload of money, some of the best facilities in the country, and are in a super winnable division. They’re not gonna be a title team again but they can be way better than this and saying they should just give up because one coach turns them down is dumb as hell.

you lost to a really good team, it’s not the end of the world. Your starting QB is a true freshman! Fuente is an awesome offensive coach and VT is still gonna be a like top 20 team, you’re gonna be fine. And “in its history” jesus christ. You played in a national title game!

I mean be 100% honest, sit down and ask yourself where he is making the difference that will beat a coach like Dabo in the ACCCG. This isn't the snoozefest ACC of Beamer's day.YOLOsubmarine posted:He’s coached one and one half seasons for you. 3 big games, 3 big failures.

Like, I feel like none of you get this: the loss isn't what loving bothers me, it's HOW we lose. Every single time we play a game worth a loving poo poo we get absolutely steamrolled. Every goddamn time. Turnovers, no aggression, lovely tackling, can't catch, coaches overwhelmed, team unprepared, zero effort or intensity shown. Every. Single. Time. If we turned out against Clemson and Miami this year and lost one score games I would be totally fine because I didn't expect to necessarily win a big game this year but just getting humiliated over and over, nothing ever changes. If Matt Campbell can take Iowa loving State and beat two top 5 teams in a season (fun fact: VT has one top 5 win ever) then Fuente should be able to take a much better VT program and appear competitive in any sort of game against a decent team.

Even here in Knoxville all I see (outside of Tennessee fans of course) are the following fans: Bama, Kentucky (these are basketball fans mainly), Virginia Tech (go more east like Johnson City and VT jumps to first), Florida, and random Ohio State, FSU, and UNC fan. That’s in order. Also gently caress the local Bama fans who have nothing to do with school or the state. I seen several today walking around in their Bama gear in Knoxville. Good chance the closest they ever been to the state of Alabama is Chattanooga. Even my friend at work who went to Bama hates them.

Like I said, ISU has more top 5 wins in one season than VT has in 120 years of football. That's what is unacceptable to me and I'm sorry if that offends you.

Uh, yes it is. VT was 1-29 all-time under Beamer against top 5 teams. It's 0-1 under Fuente and pre-Beamer VT probably was 0-fer against like top 20 teams much less top 5. VT has A win against a top 5 team in its history.

That's totally acceptable, though, right? You clearly didn't watch the game, you just saw the score and said "OK" and moved on. Miracles needed to beat a 2 win FSU or a .500 GT but them manhandling a so-called top 15 VT is totally fine because "Miami is pretty good". At no point should I hold my staff accountable for the total lack of preparation shown by the team though.

I watched enough of the game to see Miami dominated the line of scrimmage defensively, which you shrugged off as unimportant--or untrue in which case you're an even bigger idiot--before the game when you were told it would probably happen. You guys lost on the road to a good team and things snowballed, it happens.

Top 5 wins is some arbitrary poo poo. Top 5 teams are really good! They’re hard to beat! And really it’s not like a win over a team ranked 6th or 7th is fundamentally that much different. You’ve had a top 25 team almost every dang year for like two decades. You are extremely spoiled.

Scored 10 points. They scored 55 against Ohio State. Football is weird and high variance and sometimes a bad matchup or two leads to one team just walking away from another pretty good team. Calm down and go to sleep.

I like Kirk (winner of 5 of his last 6 home games against top 5 teams) but if you let me trade him for Fuente I would do it so loving fast. I will drive to Iowa right now in the middle of the night, pick him up, and then drive him to Virginia. Enjoy inexplicably losing 4 straight to UVA.

Great, take it all. Take the bowl streak, take the 10 win seasons, give me all the aches and pains you have as an Iowa fan and give me the big wins and the heart you guys pull out when the games actually matter. You think I give a gently caress about 10 win seasons? Nothing about VT ever makes you jealous as a fan. Nobody sits down and wishes for VT's consistency. I don't care about it at all.

I'd like to step back from this meltdown for a moment and reiterate to Thoguh and the other Iowa State guys here that a fan of a pretty good program is repeatedly moaning about Iowa State doing something they didn't  That will...not help when your coach is poached, but it is a nice moment.
