Buy/Sell Crooms quits if we lose out this year..

[fishwater99]

Buy..

0-3, last three..
He won't be able to handle the questions by fans and reporters.
We buy him out under the table and his crooked hat wearing *** rides of into the sunset in his golf cart.
MSU hires a new coach and we keep most of his recruits and even add a few more big names.

 

[DerHntr]

and Right Wayers are not quitters.

the only way i could possibly see it happen is if he has one of his hot head episodes and it is witnessed by a reporter. if it happens i think he will throw our entire fanbase under the bus on his way out. he will cite the sign in his yard, the peepin crooms pictures, idiot mississippians questioning his gut, stupid players not learning his perfect plays, etc.

or have people forgotten that nuggett in amongst his claim we dont have enough speed by midseason

 

[DerHntr]

we lost our stars in the spring when they were shooting the right way; we lost our star defensive back for LaTech because he was doing it the right way NOT in class; we thought we had a sure star in our sophomore second year starting SEC quarterback who was coached up the right way over the spring and summer; we had such a great showing as an offense during the spring game when our defense shut us down the right way... i think you get my point.

the myth's walls are on their last crumbled brick.

We all know he is a complete dubmass, and is stubborn beyond belief. But surely, even he can see what a crappy job he has done. I have worked for and with people like him and I know the breed. However, there is no way he is in such deep denial that he would stay in after our next 3 losses. Please make it so.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Why should this year change anything. You see everyone just has to believe..... believe that sorry *** don't want to leave until his retirement is funded the way he wants. He is hardheaded enough to just cruise right through all the fussing and has already made his point known that he doesn't care what the fans think. Plus he ain't just up and quitting with no other job prospects out there. He is out of work for a long while if he is wanting another head coaching or coordinator gig.

LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

. Beamer was to replace Bill Dooley, whose nine-year tenure was the most successful-in terms of total wins and winning percentage-in school history. Beamer signed a four-year contract worth $80,000 annually, and at the time, new Tech athletic director Dale Baughman-hired to replace Dooley, who also served as both Tech's athletic director and head football coach-received some criticism for hiring Beamer. "Some people have questioned this decision because he is not a big name," Baughman said at the time. "But it's a sound decision, and I'm standing by it."<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span>

Beamer took over a Virginia Tech football program that was largely unsuccessful in its first century, reaching only six bowl games in that time span. Beamer has since built the Hokies into a perennially ranked team. In 19 years at the helm of VT, his overall record is 156-82-2. His teams have made 15 consecutive bowl appearances but Beamer has gone 6-9 in those 15 bowls. He also has a record of 1-4 in BCS Bowls. Besides his less than stellar record in bowl games, he's also struggled against top ten teams; going 6-27 against top ten schools since he took over the Tech job in 1987.</p>

During his tenure as coach, the program has evolved from independent status to a member of the Big East Conference to a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. His teams have won three Big East Championships and two ACC Championships.</p>

He won Big East Coach of the Year awards in 1995, 1996, and 1999. In 1999, he won consensus National Coach of the Year honors when he led Virginia Tech to an undefeated regular season and appearance in the National Championship game against Florida State University. Beamer was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2004, his first year competing in the league. He repeated as ACC Coach of the Year in 2005 while leading his team to the ACC Coastal Division title and an appearance in the inaugural ACC Championship game.</p> <table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%;"> <tbody> <tr> <th>Year</th> <th>Team</th> <th>Overall</th> <th>Conference</th> <th>Standing</th> <th>Bowl</th> <th>Rank#</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); background: rgb(221, 221, 221) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" colspan="9" align="center">Murray State Racers (Ohio Valley) (1981-1986)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1981</td> <td>Murray State</td> <td>8-3-0</td> <td>

working out. But by his 5th season, Beamer had had 2 winning seasons and narrowly missed out on a 3rd one. Assuming we lose our last 3 games, the 2nd best of Crxxm's 5 seasons would be his 1st season at 3-8.

 

[Todd4State]

is that Beamer never had to go up against SEC competition. In the SEC, you just can't "wait around until he turns it around" because this conference is cutthroat. Every one is trying to get better every year.

That's why it's better for us to try to get someone in here to try to win quickly for a few years and move on and then pass the torch to someone else looking to move up.

 

[Stormrider81]

His record dipped briefly when they moved from Independent to the Big East. By year 3 in the Big East he started being extremely successful. He had only one season of less than 8 wins, and that was a 7 win season, while in that conference. We've been in a stable condition as far as division and conference goes since more than a decade before Croom's arrival. We haven't seen an increase in competition like Beamer did. In fact, this year's schedule is the most advantageous we've had since probably 1999. There is no excuse for a failure to reach a bowl game this season, and really this was the year to win 9-10 games. Look at the teams that were down - Auburn, UT (road game), UK, & Arkansas. Vandy was somewhat decent but we actually beat them. GT had a new coach. Chalk up losses to LSU and Bama, but we still should have won at least 8 regular season games if not 9 or 10.
