Apologies in advance for my reference to a 1985 Budweiser slogan. According to a number of news outlets, Bud Foster is once again expressing interest in head coaching positions outside of Blacksburg.

In referring to an opening at Conference USA’s Memphis program Bud Foster said “That might be a job I might be interested in, I think there’s a lot of things that are attractive about it.” Well, I might be shitting myself, Bud.

Foster showed interest in head coaching jobs at Clemson and NC State last year which ultimately didn’t pan out but there is more of a connection to Memphis for Bud given his relationship to current athletic staff and his high school roots in Illinois. For now however there hasn’t been a formal announcement by Memphis that they are considering Foster.

Though Bud has shown he is mortal when it comes to recreating dominating defenses this season, a momentary decline in his otherwise stellar record, it doesn’t seem as though his attitude is any different than it was last year. He is eager to be a head coach and will consider just about any opportunity that will allow him to accomplish that goal. It doesn’t sound as though Weaver/Beamer did much this season to anchor our Defensive Coordinator to Virginia Tech and its only a matter of time before a school decides he is the right fit and pulls him away from Lane Stadium.

Translation to all of this: “Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shi…”
