@SavageDukeDog@JMUSportsNews Is it though? His goal ultimately is to continue making his way up the program ladder. Would be a continued step up, more money, and while it would look bad he wouldn’t be leaving a ton of progress behind. Id say unlikely but I don’t think its ridiculous
@dukedawg22@therealdcunna Which is why i said minus the fanbase 10 tweets ago. There’s factual data to support everything else i said. Have a friend who has worked in both athletic departments as well and has said they’re not comparable. You’ve framed this as an i hate JMU and G5 argument
@dukedawg22@therealdcunna No coach is taking a job offer at those schools over an offer from UVA. Those are programs winning at this moment and successful G5 programs but there’s a gap. Theres no hate for those programs lol that’s a cop out. Your point about cignetti just proves money matters
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna Brother P5 alone holds a higher program status than G5. Everything in every aspect is higher I’m sorry. The worst P5 football program pried away JMUs head coach and they filled it with an FCS hire. A great hire but a lower level hire than Tech, UVA and Liberty brought in
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna Ahh so minus the most important thing in the current landscape…money. Better recruiting too. Better facilities. You can’t say it’s wrong and not provide any justification🤣 They postponed it cause it holds zero value
@RTD_MikeBarber I think w DeBoer being a west coast guy I agree. Paired with being the guy after Saban makes it difficult. I like Norvell for it. Southeast recruiting experience, on field success, a program upgrade, and you get to skip past all the off field conference realignment drama
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna Again, UVA holds higher in every aspect I mentioned. While that statement about P5 can be true in select cases, this is not one. UVA is a legitimate candidate for conference expansion and the P5 carries resources not typically seen by many outside of it
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna Noone would disagree with that notion outside of JMU fans imo. Not one aspect i mentioned (outside of the fan base portion) is JMU above Liberty in right now. JMU will start investing in the program but nothing i said was false. Libertys program is a short term goal for JMU
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna And its fair to build in state rivalries if there is value there. I don’t see it right now beyond Tech v UVA. JMU with some further program investment I think the time will come but the real reason for all these non-conference changes is the ACC scheduling. They recommended it
@dukedawg22@Hokie20@therealdcunna It’s a deal that doesn’t hold any value. Stop reaching if you were in the same spot you’d end it too. UVAs also still the second best program in the state while were at it lol
@Lwflyrod007@BigGameBoomer We gotta stop with this. The goal of every program in VA is to be built similar to VT. Money, in-state recruiting, facilities, fan base and much more is significantly dominated by VT. VT, UVA, Liberty then JMU/ODU looking at full picture. Not talking shit but thats why its VT
@DukesRecruits@Bblackb2 Maybe the games will be scheduled more in the future but stop the scared bs. JMUs 1-6 all time vs Tech but lets talk about one random game like its the super bowl
@DukesRecruits@Bblackb2 It was an FCS matchup for years which doesn’t count towards bowl eligibility. You don’t put those teams on your schedule unless you absolutely need a filler game. Im not even trying to talk shit here but JMU is the #4 program in the state and i don’t know it its debatable
@Bblackb2@DukesRecruits This is a factual statement and its delusional some think otherwise🤣. Every school in VAs goal is to build their program to Techs level. They can win a random head to head and be the better “team” any year but VT is far and away the top “program” in the state
@collegefootbill @aye_yuo@BigGameBoomer Purdue was without Drones at QB and took the new roster a moment to get settled. That rosters entirely coming back. Everyone who watched knows the Pitt and later VT team this year smokes Purdue and Marshal by multiple TDs
