I would say it's almost a 100% lock for Mines to be retained. Franklin tried to hire him away from VT many times the last few years. He's an ace recruiter and Franklin really likes him. Whether he stays at WR or moves maybe to TE where he's coached previously TBD. But I would say lock Mines is retained.

OC could be really interesting. We have cash and Franklin has the network to make huge hires. Could we go after Joe Moorhead? Or Ricky Rahne (Franklin was at the ODU game last Thursday). Rahne and Decker plus their QB at ODU? That could be pretty exciting.

Would be really interested to see if Anthony Poindexter would follow him for Safeties/co DC type role. Some say Poindexter would never coach at VT being a Wahoo, but others say that's not the case. Also an excellent recruiter and heavily connected in VA.

Have seen some rumblings that Sean Spencer (currently at TAMU) could be the choice for DL coach.

I know Mines has been a great recruiter, but if he's staying please hire him an assistant that get our receivers on the JUGS.

The DLine has done well I'm good with JC staying. The RBs have been fantastic, I'm fine with Brooks staying. Our receivers cant run clean routes, our QB can't throw. Our oline can't pass block (though not blaming Moore) Our DBs stink and we o lt have 1 LB who is a frosh (though props to Adibi getting him ready).

I am fine with Franklin blowing it all up.

The announcement press conference is tomorrow I believe. I'm assuming they're still doing the usual game week presser with Monty today.

Unfortunately even if John goes, I think his wife will continue to haunt the halls of Cassell.

I'll be happy with a complete churn of coaches, operations, and staff. That said, I think every team needs someone on staff that loves the school like JC loves Tech. That's the person you want at fundraisers and alumni events. So if Franklin keeps JC in some capacity I'm good with it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Morris hang around either. Continuity with o- line could be helpful.

Of course, Im hoping that most of the line can be upgraded (Altuner aside), so it might not be the benefit Im predicting.

At this point the one thing I am most looking forward to is hearing the Ballein family is no longer officially affiliated with the Virginia Tech Athletic Department
