What's this?

Whoops!

My badyes there is a difference.

Though in the world of coachingnot sure how much more emphatic we would get from any coach. Much less one as even keel as Fu.

I don't think within his mentality he looks at players to blame. I think he shoulders that squarely on himself and his staff. I also don't think he is very verbal about this to the media. That seems to be true across the board. Just doesn't like the media hanging on his every word, reading between every line.

Also, not sure what's to gain. Either he is hyper verbal about it being all on the coaches, the fans respond with "see...he knows and still just failing and stealing from the coffers with his big salary." Or - acknowledges it and works behind the scenes on plans to fix, fans say "he doesn't care and just stealing ..." Or - doesn't mention it, fans say, "he is totally clueless, just here to fill his pockets!"

Really a no win situation. I think thats true of any coach at this level. We are just more in tune as this is the team we follow.

Might have helped if the team wasnt still at the hotel until 2nd quarter ** -- 4thosehokies 09/19/2021 09:40AM

Play calling isn't the main problem, execution is -- VTpartimer 09/19/2021 09:01AM

Are you giving J Ham a pass? -- Happy Dog 09/19/2021 07:45AM

Nobody gets a pass (more) -- VTFuzz 09/19/2021 09:03AM

I think the difference is that the defense adjusted and improved. -- HokieChE 09/19/2021 08:56AM

With today’s high powered offenses the defense wasn’t perfect, but good -- Stech 09/19/2021 07:51AM

Not giving up 14 points in the first five plays would have helped the O... -- Happy Dog 09/19/2021 08:04AM

Not every coach. We've seen coaches blame their players... -- EDGEMAN 09/19/2021 08:56AM

I would argue it needs to be more emphatic. -- Hokie Lane 09/19/2021 07:36AM

Yes! -- JoWood07 09/19/2021 08:17AM

Jowood. I think you are confusing the word I used with another -- Hokie Lane 09/19/2021 08:48AM

Whoops! -- JoWood07 09/19/2021 09:28AM

Yea. That’s the issue right now -- Hokie Lane 09/19/2021 09:34AM
