Head coach Justin Fuente announced Thursday that Adam Lechtenberg has joined the Virginia Tech staff as director of player development. In that role, the Butte, Nebraska native will work closely with Fuente, Senior Director of Football Operations Danielle Bartelstein and the entire Hokies' football staff

Love the commitment to grow the staff. Hopefully the donors can step up and Whit and Fuente can keep growing with great hires.

Also looks like 10th assistant coaching position will be pushed back to Jan/Feb 2018.

At the end of the day, this is a lot of words to say "this guy can recruit"

It may be a holdover for the 10th coaching position.

I'm confused. We hired a relatively obscure coach to a seemingly made up position...and this guy has no ties to Dwayne Lawson. What's going on here?

With a slowdown in popularity like that, you have to think he's considering a transfer

oh come now. A Max Warner joke is completely different from a Lawson transferring joke.

Love seeing these types of hires, tons of room for growth and sometimes overlooked. Welcome to the family.

I'm slightly concerned as to why PBS would know how to delete their search history...
