Saw something that prompts me to play suppose.


If true Arians said he had nailed the interview with Blaine and become the new Hokies coach in 1987, what would have been the outcome? Impossible to say, and who might want to the way things turned out, but I find it interesting to ponder.

Here's a quote from wikipedia (considering the source take it for what it's worth, in my sometimes lousy opinion) that sums up a philosophy somewhat different from what we came to know:

One thing Arians cannot stand is when coaches play not to lose. He considers conservative coaching to be a cardinal sin. In his book, he writes, "That’s not my way, brother. I'll never be too afraid to throw it and take the heat if it's incomplete. My job as an offensive coach is not to allow our defense to retake the field. Run out the clock and kneel down—that’s my job."

Anyway, hats off to Bruce and Nicky for a job well done, guys from my day.
