The chaos, disorganization, and lack of symmetry between the cluster-fuck VT coaching staff is painfully apparent each and every game. Their face-palm fuck-ups alone are good for at least 60 yards for the opposing team every game. That is a leadership problem. Beamer needs to be forced into retirement at the end of the season.
OP is right about recruiting. They don't have a lot of talent across key positions, and there is no depth in their up and coming talent chart. Starting QB is a perfect example - Brewer was a last minute, former Texas Tech "B" caliber player Junior Transfer who already graduated and has a degree. C'mon!
There is an underlying core values and culture problem in the VT Football program. They have too much "me" and not enough "we." We teams execute with consistent, explosive, unified precision. Me teams are inconsistent, spotty, discombobulated, and sporadic. A team culture that values and rewards team, camaraderie, sportsmanship, pride, and poise on and off the field is good. A team culture that tolerates selfish, cheap shot, show boating, smack talking, ghetto thug attitude and conduct on and off the field is bad. How many VT football players are First Team All Americans and Academic All Americans? How many have rap sheets, conduct/academic issues?
The VT Football program will take years to rebuild, and based on their losing record - that will be a very difficult, steep mountain to climb without a new, invigorated, leader as head coach - one who can inspire, organize, recruit, create a winning culture, build a winning record, and field all-around team players with talent and character both on and off the gridiron.
