"Old" is relative.

Slive has done ok for himself the last few years.

Seriously? You really can't think of anything?

oh wait....he does provide defenses that get blown out at home....

what was I thinking?? forgive me....carry on......
Va Tech's offense has sucked since Vick left. The fact that they can't move the ball at all sets the d up for failure. I WISH we had a d as good as theirs. They've allowed 20+ points 5 times this season. Now I know they're not playing prolific offenses, but they held Ohio State to 21. Think Snyder could do that?

I just looked at his stats this year, because some claim their D is down and maybe it is, but it is a huge improvement from ours.

  • They Kept 9/11 FBS teams below their Yds/game and points/game a few were Ohio State, East Carolina and Georgia Tech
  • They only allowed over 500 yards once (East Carolina)
  • They only allowed over 400 yards twice (East Carolina and Miami)
  • Faced 6 teams in the top 50 scoring and yards/game held all below their averages

at 55 he can't get it up like he used to, but when he does go full tilt, he has the experience and knowledge to make his love making sessions meaningful and to really do a great job.

No, that would be a walk-off grand slam in game 7 of the world series.

As a highly knowledgeable person and one who has spent hours reading ESPN and Sports Illustrated, which are publications of the highest quality, I find this hire a complete bust.

Look at the 2014 stats:
Virginia Tech had the #17 overall defense (statistically)
A&M had the #101 overall defense

101-17 = 84

I think my point is clear here

Yeah. You're the only one.

Foster would bring instant credibility and name recognition to recruits. And he's a damn fine D Coordinator. Any team would be lucky to have him.

He got A&M pretty good in 2002 and 2003.

The man knows how to shut down a run...

I like this because it is adjusted to the talent you play not straight numbers like the traditional stats.

He has a consistent track record over 20 years as a coordinator. His WORST defense was top 50.
