# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech What's wrong with coaching at ECU? They are a solid program, from what I'm reading he was successful there, and then got bumped to a moderately prominent P5 program. The fact that he coached at ECU is a plus if anything, since I'd assume he recruited the mid-Atlantic there
I guess we do play WVU next year, but they have fallen into that category of "emotional rival" for me, not "actual rival" like UVA and Miami. I don't like WVU, but I don't like Florida, Notre Dame or Tennessee either. I want to see all those teams lose every game and their stadiums burn to the ground (once all women and children have safely dispersed.) But the hate level I have over them is a notch below UVA and Miami.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I doubt there was a ton of overlap looking at his 5 highest rated recruits they came from Florida/PA/NY/NJ/MD we certainly recruit those areas but I doubt we were the primary program he was competing with

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Okay, I see your point, BUT... the last time we played was 2005. I think we have other programs we are recruiting against hard, and this guy has been at WVU 3 years.
If he talked that much shit in three years, it would get back around.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I was curious about that, thanks! I do like the fact that he has experience in NC , PA, and NJ, all areas where we have historically recruited to varying degrees.
Huntley is basically your dad in the driveway playing pickup basketball. He's old (6th year grad student), he doesnt have many flashy moves, but he knows every trick in the book to exploit your youthful enthusiasm.
I like this analogy. So we can expect a knee to the bean bags followed to set up a steal and an easy layup?

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Seems like a sound hire. I am not sure if there was a home run hire for a DB coach out there at this time.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Not to throw salt, but he was at ECU before WVU. But I don't really care...coaching is a job. It's not like the guy would be out wearing Mountaineer shirts at practice.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech we're fans, most of what we want isn't realistic. also if he's good enough for the coaches he should be good enough for us

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech From what I can tell, he's been recruiting some areas in Texas (probably due to the BigXII association) and PA+NJ. Nothing jumps off the page as a splash in that regard, which is where I hoped this hire would address. But, the hire will have passed through Bud which means that he's okay in my book.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech He was at ECU before West Virginia, so hopefully he provides something in the way of recruiting in the mid-atlantic. He actually coached under UVA's Mendenhall at BYU during 2004 - 2005. He seems to bring a ton of position coach experience as he has been a DB coach since 1994.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I couldn't help myself. In 2015 WVU had the #14 S&P Passing defense and was #5 in the country in DB Havoc rate (passes defensed, forced fumbles, and tackles for loss) having caused havoc on 9.4% of plays. Based on that this would be a really solid hire.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Recruiting background is about what you would expect from someone who has coached at BYU, TTU, ECU and WVU. Lots of 3 stars.
His focus at WVU was in PA/NY/NJ it seems.
His focus at ECU was in North Carolina.
His focus at TTU was in Texas.
Not a geographically based recruiter, but an experienced recruiter. Probably more so than any of the Memphis hires save Shibest.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I think Fuente remembers Mitchell's Texas Tech defensive backs while he was at TCU.
I think that is the connection for this hire.
Bud was a part of the decision process for sure, but this is Fuente's staff.

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech I wonder about hiring a coach from a rival. Simply because of credibility and recruiting. They would have spent the last few years bad-mouthing our program to HS coaches and recruits...now they are going back to those same folks and saying "oh...now VT is awesome".
That said, I like this hire...and like it more than West for the reasons above...

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Called it one hour early! And really it's not like this guy is a life long West Virginia coach, he's been there three years and seems to have been moderately successful. I wonder if Bud made connections with him during his time at ECU

# | Report: WVU Cornerbacks Coach Brian Mitchell is Leaving WVU to Join Staff at Virginia Tech Suck it, cousins.
Exactly. Performance and healed are different. Saying he will be 100% for fall camp means he is healed and ready to play. It does not say he is as good as he would have been if he was not injured. Different measuring sticks.
