Virginia Tech Football Must Haves For 2016 And Beyond

This has been a year of transition for the football program at Virginia Tech. I looked at some top tier programs, and identified some common characteristics that make each of them consistent winners. College football is a sport where the guy at the top can make an incredible impact. The two best coaches in college football are Nick Saban and Urban Meyer, in that order. Then there a bunch of second tier guys including Les Miles, Jim Harbaugh, Dabo Swinney and the like. The most precipitous drop is from the second tier to the third. The third tier coaches include folks like Mark Richt, and others that have been successful, but no rings.
