# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Yea I think most of the prospects that we have mentioned so far either have VT ties or are currently available. It seems he hasn't been mentioned as he doesn't fall into either category.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I think at this point I've just come to expect Whit to make incredible moves every time he has the rock. Feels like a layup instead of a tomahawk dunk.
I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm just surprised that a guy like Chip West is sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. Must not have gone very well in the room

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech If so, how did that compare to Torian Grays DB stats? Just curious, but that sounds pretty impressive for playing in the offensive minded league the Errrrs compete in. I'm like most here. If he was OK with Bud and Fuente, I am happy and am sure they know what they got and are doing.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I have to admit...I don't know another DB coach in the country outside of Torrian.
If the guy can coach...then great. If he can recruit too...awesome.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I don't think Midget was a big stretch considering his time at PSU. But I'm hesitant to default to VT guys, we did that too long around here.
West being currently unemployed was a concern for me. I didn't have any interest in Buggs, except that he has an awesome name.
This is a solid hire.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I'd be interested to see ACC vs BXII passing stats. Wonder if playing in such a pass-happy conference has anything to do with that.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech The only other two names we know interviewed were Chip West- Currently unemployed, and Kermit Buggs- who had a successful career at Penn State but was tainted by the sex abuse scandal and hasn't done much since.
Other names tossed around Loren Johnson- Never coached at collegiate level or Anthony Midget- Assistant secondary coach for Texas- big stretch
Honestly this guy was part of a very good WVU defense, played in the NFL, has sent 9 guys to the NFL, and has 5 years experience recruiting the mid-Atlantic. Personally I feel this is a better hire than expected

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech He was a DC at ECU. Not sure it was a bump up to be the DB coach at WVU. Worth checking into, did he get moved out at ECU? Or was that when Ruff started there?

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech It's not because ECU's program hasn't been successful, it's because I can't stand ECU (like most Hokie fans). Like getting a coach from UVA, except you know, successful.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Yep, I doubt we will need him for Texas, a lot of the Memphis staff worked that area.
I don't sense that Fuente is hiring based on geographical recruiting history. Seems to be comfortable knowing that guys are starting over with new relationships, selling a new product anyway. There is potential in Scott, Wiggins and now Mitchell to be excellent recruiters when selling the VT/Fuente brand. It will be interesting to see where they are slotted.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech The fact that he's coming from WVU doesn't bother me.
The fact that - if we're being honest - no one knew this guy existed before 30 minutes ago bothers me.
Someone in the know, please convince me that this is a great hire. Because given the names we've all heard bandied about for 2 weeks, this feels like a big ol' settle.
(not to be confused with the Big Ol' Settle we already have)
Very sorry to hear of your losses....a good laugh truly can help (even if only for a short while) even in the darkest times.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I, for one, like this hire. We posted 10 INTs last year. That doesn't do much for our FAINT count. Or was it TAINT count. It's been so long Fifth. Anyway, how many did WVU post? 23! They are getting after the ball and making plays. I would love to see that next year. We bring in great talent as well. Welcome aboard Brian!
