# | VT Officially announces Sam Siefkes as Defensive Coordinator Well hopefully he can fix the LB position. I would think having an NFL LB coach on staff should help with recruiting the position
Na Pry gets year 5 with a bad year. I mean i have no clue what the 6th loss will be, it's a easy 8 win schedule, but we say we have an easy schedule every year.
I knew there would be a Wofford connection. Inside track to one win next year!
Pry will be fired if we go 6-6 with another top 45 recruiting class. Bet.
Also anagrams to Fake Misses. Could also be fools gold. High risk high reward
Unless it's a Marshall situation we'll be okay IMO and hopefully if you make a good hire, they fill the gaps with their own guys.
Since exactly zero of you have mentioned this yet, Sam Siefkes anagrams to Kisses Fame, so i am certain we'll look back at this as a brilliant hire.
Unless Sands or the BOV takes the initiative, VT will have Pry through 2026. And I don't think they have the initiative.
No idea if he's a good DC or not, and anyone claiming bad or good hire has no idea either.
I think a more interesting question is what the defensive scheme will be in 2025. And how well can he adapt his scheme to the current personnel and coaching staff, and vice versa. And can he get his linebackers to play at an all-ACC level.
I don't think the defense is Pry's or Bud's scheme anymore. Or can it be some sort of amalgam?
Or, we are stuck in 6-6 hell again with a win over UVA because that's the measuring stick, and because Pry runs a clean ship and relates to the fan base, and we have no money, nothing changes.
Got a bunch of safeties, rangy athletic LB, and two standup LB/edge hybrids for a reason
Funny enough this is what we said about Pry too
I'll choose optimism. He's young and light on experience, similar to Marve. But he has coordinated defenses at two schools and there are some indications that he actually knows how to coach linebackers (including at the highest level). If we're going to make a "risky" hire, at least it's somebody from an innovative coaching staff with potential for high upside.
To be fair, a NFL LB coach is better than a former FSU LB coach
Who we surround him with on the staff is huge. Need recruiters and a solid safeties coach.
DCwilson hasn't chimed In on this all afternoon. Either he's in a meeting, or he had a brain annuerism when this news broke.

# | Report: VT Targets Arizona Cardinals LB Coach Sam Siefkes as DC Until they all transfer out
Question is... will he be bringing Ryan Smith back to Blacksburg?!
I started as a professional brewer by Going to a local brewery and requesting to work for free on day a week for a year. Internship. I learned more than the textbook this way and got real experience.
Made it very easy to find a real job once I quit my high pressure High stress day job.
He believed in Marve too...
Best case - he's to this defense what Joe Brady was to the 2019 LSU offensive. Worst case, we're getting a new staff in '26
Let's go Hokies!

# | VT Officially announces Sam Siefkes as Defensive Coordinator Hope he does inject a domination mindset into our defense. Make offenses weigh the life-extending benefits of turnovers and three-and-outs.
I welcome him and wish him the best of luck.
If Pry believes in him, and he clearly does, let's do it.
Ok Sam, let's see what you can do!
