Interesting, from Richmond, VA, went to Randolph-Macon, was DC of Army when Brent Davis was OC, also received improper information about Wake Forest in 2017, "brought in several top defensive recruits to the [UNC] program"
I'm intrigued...

# | Report: VT Targets Arizona Cardinals LB Coach Sam Siefkes as DC 
Here's comes the message board rioters.
Siefkes was the defensive coordinator/inside linebackers coach at Wofford College (2018-20).
His final season at Wofford in 2020 was postponed due to COVID-19. In 2019, he led the nation's 20th ranked defense that helped guide the program to its 3rd straight Southern Conference Championship and 4th straight appearance in the FCS Playoffs. The defense ranked 1st in the conference in total defense and rushing defense and 2nd in scoring defense.
In his first season at Wofford in 2018, the Terriers led the conference in total defense, scoring defense, passing defense, and rushing defense. Nationally, they ranked 8th in scoring defense and 12th in total defense. Wofford had a 9-4 overall record, won the Southern Conference Championship and advanced to the second round of the FCS Playoffs.
Siefkes spent two seasons (2016-17) as the defensive coordinator/inside linebackers coach at UW-Platteville.
His defense allowed just 18.9 points per game in 2017 and had three shutouts. The Pioneers finished the 2016 season with an 8-3 record and advanced to the playoffs.
In 2015, Siefkes worked as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Wisconsin, helping with the defensive line. With the Badgers, he coached alongside former defensive coordinator and current Baylor head coach Dave Aranda. Wisconsin led the nation in scoring defense (13.7 ppg) and ranked 2nd nationally in total defense (268.5 ypg) that season. They defeated USC in the Holiday Bowl, the Badgers second consecutive bowl game victory.
Jumping from Wofford to the Vikings seems like a very big jump. Is that type of promotion common? Why only one year at Vikings before going to Cardinals? Not staying anywhere long. Was he that good, worked for the wrong coaches, or that bad?
Doesn't check a single box. No crootin' ties. No P4 playcalling experience. What are we doing? Can we start the HC Search thread?
Yeah...make no mistake about it, this is an absolute flop of a hire. You can't spin it any other way. Especially if we pay an NFL LB coach with VERY minimal college experience anywhere near $1M - $1.5M.
Honestly, just go ahead and fire up the new AD/HC conversation thread. We all know how this is going to end.
This aint a "home run" hire.
TKP posted 1500 comments for this? Does Pry not read our threads?
Cards have been running 3 safeties a lot this reason, what a coincidence.
I'd fell much better about this if he could bring a couple of his linebackers with him.....
Here's his bio:
2012-13 GA at UW-La Crosse
2014 QC coach at FIU
2016-2017: DC & ILB coach at UW-Platteville
2018-2020 DC & ILB coach at Wofford
2021-2022 Vikings LB Coach
2023-2024 Cardinals LB Coach

That is absolutely not a good enough resume for this hire.
This team and program are a complete fucking joke.
Nice, when he first changed the name I used Snyder's Commies
Holy random Batman! How many DCs did we strike out on to be this far down the list?
Big time meh.

Pete Thamel off the top rope on ESPN:
Sources: Virginia Tech is targeting Arizona Cardinals LB coach Sam Siefkes as the school's new defensive coordinator. Siefkes is an integral part of the Cardinals' innovative NFL scheme, and he brings collegiate defensive coordinator experience, including a stint at Wofford. He brings NFL experience from two seasons with the Vikings as a quality control coach and the assistant linebackers coach. Along with his time at Wofford, he's also coordinated defense at UW-Platteville.
Lol. Some insiders were saying today was the day. Guess not!
As in, "Mayonnaise a lot of comments for the amount content." ?
Or as in "Your Mayonnaise bowl runner-up VTech small appliance spurtle promo?
Probably should pay each coordinator half of what the head coach makes. This would assume each coordinator (O & D, not ST) is responsible for 25% of the team's success and the head coach is responsible for half
mayonnaise?
True, but at the same time I do wish they were a little better to have enough legitimate hope that every time we beat them was a little more soul crushing than it currently is.
Back to Washington, as much as last night might have been rough, just remember that was further than Dallas has made in the playoffs since the invention of the DVD.
Nah, Washington Phootball Team?
I meant to say WFT... that wasn't really a typo, just a brainfart lol. I don't really watch NFL, and I always call them the redskins then correct myself. Don't love commanders so I just call them Washington Football Team in protest, even though I apparently forgot that 'football' starts with an 'f'
If this board is any indication, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on what the fans think of a departing coordinator when assessing his quality.

..Washington Pro Team?
in any case, I'm all for making sacrifices to make the Hokies good again. Maybe we can sacrifice all the north carolina basketball schools?
Time to fire Whit, Pry, and everyone else associated with the football program.
Burn it to the ground, and salt the earth.
EDIT - My bad, that was too much.
Just don't get this hire, at all.
