We conquered aTm and Texas when The Beams still had salt and pepper hair.
Okay, so super quick dig into it as I am at work, WVU was thrown at 8 more times and converted 13 additional interceptions.
Deeper analysis shows that over 50% of those came against weaker teams:
Georgia Southern: 4 INTs
Maryland: 5 INTs
Kansas: 3 INTs

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Cornelson graduated in 2000, so he's probably right around 37/38. Wiggins graduated in 2003, so he's about 34/35. That makes the average about 43. Basically, 5 coaches under 40, 4 above 50 and one at 47. Nice mix of youthful energy and wisdom from experience.
Now you know the secret to how I've managed to accrue Over 9000 legs.

At first glance this looks like a solid hire. I'm happy that things will start to settle down for our coaches and they can worry more about, you know, coaching. I'm looking forward to August! Football season can never get here soon enough.
It's on the calendar!

I hope this is a sarcastic comment...
Watched a lot of WVU's games over the years, I was raised in WV and can't stand WVU.
That being said, I have always thought that it was amazing how poor the quality of QBs are in the Big 12 and the DBs who allowed them to just throw up jump balls with success. WVU had a good secondary for most of this year, and honestly that is the ONLY reason they went to a bowl game.
I will also say this, I was at the WVU/Baylor game in 2014 and watched WVU play cover 0 all day on Baylor with great success. I think he plays into the Bear scheme well. I expect French to have a better analysis on that though.

Virginia Tech had 23 interceptions in 2010. Last time I checked, Torrian coached the Hokies' secondary that season, but by all means carry on.

I wonder how that stacks up with the rest of the league.
I feel like I've worn that outfit numerous times and I'm only 22...
Probably a bad conversion from the metric system.
I bet he makes his CBs look for the Ball !! You don't get 23 Int. looking at the eyes !
Did someone say Canes?
Hey fellow South Carolinian don't forget the woman's softball team will be in Charleston on March 9th also. Come out and join me, have kids, it's a great game to bring them out.
Impressive of him to throw for 23 touchdowns on only 1,700 yards
I know I should feel happy/pleased/satisfied about this, but all it really does is make me miss Professor Gray even MORE. Sorry, not sorry.


Love seeing all the 'neers fans melting down on Twitter. The only thing more comical is the amount of spelling errors included in the rants. No couch jumping in Morontown today!

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech My first thought was that he has experience defending the up tempo spread O's and dealing with limited substitution time. Given the trend in the up tempo direction in college football, and that we struggled in dealing with it in the bowl game, I think this adds a valuable ingredient to Bud's pantry. 23 picks is also impressive and if VT is going to full court press on both sides of the ball, this seems to be a good fit.

How many college defensive back coaches can you name off the top of your head?
