When you have Richard Checo next spring I think you’ll be happy.
The Hoos will definitely appreciate Chase Yager...he'll fit right in.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 1:59 pm When you have Richard Checo next spring I think you’ll be happy.
Clever move by Cassese. A few good years at the steering wheel of the Maserati that is the UVA offense with the personnel they have currently and coming in the door will put Cassese back in the conversation for the big head coaching jobs in the future.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 1:43 pmFor a grad year?TopShelf585 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 1:18 pm Sounds like you found your Offensive Coordinator.

On a serious note, not a big fan of this, but I can understand him wanting to get out of Bethlehem.
It really depends. I am not sure he can do much to improve his reputation at Virginia. Perhaps, it is a good move if Lehigh is going to be a rebuild. How do you improve the offense at UVa? It is a role that has mostly downside. You finish outside the top 5 in scoring and it is bad result. Is he going to recruit better? Unlikely. Improve the offense? unlikely.The Orfling wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 11:01 pmClever move by Cassese.

Not following. My point is what can Cassese do at Virginia that would be deemed an improvement over his predecessor? There are a lot of paths that he fails to put up the same achievements and very few that he out-shines.youthathletics wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:54 amLars needs a fall guy?coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:36 amIt really depends.

The strategy of hiring former HC's has worked pretty well for Nick Saban...there's more than one way to coach; this move should benefit Lars & KC as well. Maybe KC would've had Lars call a timeout on that last offensive possession?!coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:57 amNot following.

that might've only served to put the hoos in a worse position, as they scored on their last possession.FMUBart wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 12:59 pmThe strategy of hiring former HC's has worked pretty well for Nick Saban...there's more than one way to coach; this move should benefit Lars & KC as well.

the game was tied up with over 2 minutes left. uva won the face and then scored with under a minute left to go up 1, with no timeout taken. they never saw the ball again.
This is something that I didn't really think of but is an excellent point. What is considered an improvement at UVA?coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:57 amNot following.

What he does get is a higher probability of coaching on Memorial Day. Being on a staff that has won a national championship is a very significant differentiator. With HC and AHC and a ring, he becomes a different type of candidate.coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:36 amIt really depends. I am not sure he can do much to improve his reputation at Virginia.

so that means Dom had many of the HS classes of 17-20/21 in the pipeline? Start adding in the covid years for some of those guys and maybe we can see part of the future?coda wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 4:26 pm Just look at UV
Lars gets there in 2017.. Takes Lars 2 seasons and then he is off and running.
2019- 17-3 NC
2020- Covid
2021- 14-4 NC
2022- 12-4 2nd round
2023- 13-4 final 4.
Last 4 complete season its 2 NCs and 1 final four. 2nd round is was the "failure". IF UVA continues this run, this will be a solid decision. I know it has happened in sports, but it is hard to bet on any team to continue that level of success for another 4 years.
Legend boy- UVA with the ball with 3 mins left up 11-9 with 1 minute on shot clock and they had just successfully cleared. The UVA midfielder attacked the ND short stick and dove into 2 additional Irish defenders--not sure why he is attacking there when the clock is now your opponent(especially when you consider the position before they held the ball in the corner). I was wrong on the time left, but would've been a GREAT time to call timeout; perhaps KC would've told Lars to do just that
