I mean, who tf are are we going to get at this point in the process? Nobody good. Get ready for a D2 OC hire or a position coach currently at a G5 school.
Chat, are we cooked?
Sources say that tech has secured Brian stinespring as tech's next OC
Virginia Tech plans to move quickly with a replacement hire. Won't be a six-week deal like the DC hiring process for various reasons.
yeah sure. Its going to be Brent Davis isn't it.
Bitter confirms it in case anyone wondering if this is just a rumor
Can confirm #Hokies OC Tyler Bowen is leaving for the Ohio State O-line job.Virginia Tech plans to move quickly with a replacement hire. Won't be a six-week deal like the DC hiring process for various reasons.Spring ball starts in a little over a month.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) February 5, 2025
We've made a lot of moves in the past 4-5 years that have hinted that we're not willing to pay to play big boy football. This not only solidifies that but also tells me we have no desire to compete at the top of the ACC. You simply cannot have your coordinators be poached to be a position coach at another college and be serious about competing in today's coaching market.
Probably looking at position coaches from Japan's X League or something.
Big dogged again.
I totally get this from Bowen's point of view. In house OL coach with previous play calling experience is a pretty good resume to be tOSUs OC in a couple years. Sucks from a timing standpoint and I thought he was getting better each year, but this move absolutely makes sense for Bowen.

Ryan Day might be calling plays
Jamey Johnson is on staff and could be a potential in-house promotion. If I remember correctly, he could draw up a mean inbounds pass play

Well, with the length of time it takes Pry to hire coordinators, I'm hoping we have an OC by kickoff in ATL lmao
Uh, yeah. I just saw this news 30 seconds ago, but my gut reaction is that this is a huge indictment of the state of VT football in 2025. And the state of non-P2 programs more broadly.
The Pry era is all but over at this point. People fleeing a sinking ship.
Chip Kelly just left to join the Raiders. I have not been paying attention to see if they hired a new OC yet or not, but maybe he will be getting a co-OC title as well?
The DC move didn't catch him off guard and it only took him 9 weeks to fill the job- with the unknown AZ cardinals LB coach.
I'm hoping that Bowen had already had conversations with Pry and this didn't catch him off guard so hopefully he already has a "short list" together of potential hires.
Didn't take long for that title to come true
Just wait until we name someone already on staff OC in a typical Whit move. We could get a good OC now, but we would have to actually pay him- which we won't fucking do of course.
Hate to admit it but it's probably a good move for him.
If this is true, I don't know how Whit remains AD. You cannot defund our other programs like basketball to pour money into football only to see our fucking coordinators leaving for a downgraded position coach at another college.
If we are that fucking cheap, shut it all down and pull the plug on athletics because you cannot be cheap and competitive. And if we aren't competitive NOW on the precipice of the ACC shitting itself, then we might as well sign our own death certificate because there will be no recovery.
I just hope "quick" doesn't translate to "any warm body".
