[OrangeXtreme]

Man we needa upgrade that things cosmetics lol

That's an old photo.

We do have a newer version.

In upside down Greg Robinson land, does the fire turn into a snowball?

No, but the Engine That Could turns into the Caboose That Can’t.

Orange is the new Virginia!!

 

[Dick_in_MI]

Our AD knows what he's doing, go figure...

Agree. This is far better than I would have anticipated. I had expected a young rising coach who had not previously been an OC or a journeyman retread with some baggage. We have hit as close to a home run as SU is going to get.

if Dino can’t make this work going forward, it sure won’t be Wildhack’s fault.

… and some of the potential contract buyout money gets redirected to new coaches.

Look at the bright side. If Dino can’t make this work, there’s an unemployed CEO type head coach who’s familiar with the ACC, would have the OC and QB coach he wants and a DC who runs the 3-3-5 that he wants to use.

And the buyout would cost less.

Yep, there are all sorts of potential future chess moves that are now available to us if they ever become necessary.

Not sure this was posted elsewhere, feel free to delete if so.

Also, not sure what the crossed fingers thing means... is that a UVA thing?

 

[orlandoorange]

If Beck is that good there are two potential HC’s on the team

Wish we had 3. Hahahahaha, sorry, couldn't pass on it. Merry Christmas, this is very encouraging news.

He's been at UVA since 2018 and isn't on their two deep. Pass.

If Schmidt thinks he’s worth a look I’d take it.

I've had this thought as well.

I've had this thought as well.

I bet Dino has as well.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Will be really interesting to see if Bronco is invited to hang around the program at all.

You know, so he and White can nerd out on the 3-3-5.

Surrounding yourself with coaches who are better at coaching than you are = great HC

LOL.

Bronco would be a FFF’n amazing “quality control coach” to have in Dino’s ear on the regular.

That’s the Dabo model.

Hire amazing assistants.
Pay them above market rates for their amazingness.
Win.
Get better croots.
Get paid.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I don't know that I've heard such unanimous praise for one coach.

Only one that comes close is upside down Greg Robinson.

I thought Greg did an excellent job here. So it wasn’t unanimous.

Blink twice if you're in danger.

Blink twice if you're in danger.

This is a case where I was immediately reminded why I have someone on ignore

Instead of I think I can - it's we know you can't

Could this have been the result of a "change your staff or I'll change you ultimatum from Wildhack? Maybe Wildhack engineered this and now it will be Dino's challenge to let Anae and Beck run the offense and White the defense while he basically does the radio show?

It might have been a suggestion, but it was definitely not an ultimatum

It was more of a “Dino what can we do to help you win?” From how I understand it

The blizzard of 66 was far worse than 93. 77 may have been too.

I agree Bees. The 1966 storm was far worse, it lasted for days. I remember it started Friday afternoon and just kept snowing. I didn't drive from noon on Sunday until Tuesday.

Regarding the '93 storm, I have a friend who lived in Palermo in Oswego County. He was a smoker and came home that night with about half a pack of smokes. Palermo got over 100 inches of snow. Instead of rationing his cigarettes he smoked them all then spent several hours tunneling out to his truck to get the butts out of the ashtray. Anybody who has ever smoked can relate to that. Smoking has a very strong hold on you.
