If I were Wiles or Gray, I'd be lighting a bag of shit on fire on somebody's porch.
Scott has the assistant HC title. And although there is no recruiting coordinator, I expect he will be a key player as part of that title. For comparison, Stinespring made atleast 30k more than Scott will.
He still needs to deliver now, but I see the logic.

With the money, this coaching staff is making either we need 10 wins or a sell out season to justify the salary. Sad to think Coach Beamer was so underpaid. Makes me sick to think we underpaid the man who built Blacksburg to what it is today.
Time in job and age.
The QB IS the option, you see?
I was disappointed to see Gray get a paycut as well, but I see the logic in it. All seasoned position coaches make the same salary: 260k. The three coordinators look like fair market value. Shibest is one of the top ST guys there is.
The toughest pill to swallow for fans seems to be Scott's salary, which is higher because he holds the assistant HC title. However, It's worth noting Stinespring made ~340k last year, 30k more than Scott. It appears Fuente finds Scott an important asset in a lot of different areas and although there is no true recruiting coordinator, I assume Scott is expected to be a top contributor there.
The annual assistant increases under Beamer were unsustainable once we got a new HC, so I hope we let these guys coach at least a season before over-analyzing this.
Like you were reading my mind. Who the f()ck is this guy? Wiles and Gray should be given raises, but they should have their raises lobbied for by Fuente. Strike One for Fuente? Beamer would have requested his pay be cut to pay his assistants more. Now I miss Frank. Holy shit.
Why is Zohn making less than the other position coaches?
No one is impressed with Scott. Awful record at Memphis yet makes more that Wiles and Gray? Who gives a Shit that he introduced Funete to his wife. Gray was deserved a raise. and Wiles had paid his dues. Pay then what they are worth.
That I agree with. From the description of their past, I will be watching for a Beamer and Stiney relationship where the personal relationship runs a little too deep. I hope he proves his worth two times over, but right now looks like pretty good promotion.
Lmao. Good point. On a side note I can't believe we are still debating his freaking tattoos. Smh.
Yeah a QB less accurate than Brewer throwing to a guy w questionable hands. But the size factor is impressive
Just by the nature of the two programs, the Memphis coaches were going to get big raises.
would have been more fair to give wiles, scott and gray even salaries. at this point scott isn't even a position coach, rather just assisting the existing DL coach yet paid more. that does not seem right.
Very good picture of the team so far, my only point of disagreement is with Bibbs in the floor general category. I would put him down two spots just ahead of Leday. Bibbs seems too content to play his role rather than be a floor leader. Bibbs plays well and is always a positive on the floor and plays with great consistency, but I don't get that leadership vibe from him.
It would also be interesting to have a category for clutch player, as in who is most likely to get the play drawn up for them at the end of the game. Maybe with Buzz this would be worthless across a season and more an indication of the game. I see it as and indication of who Buzz has offensive confidence in.
Wiles isn't going anywhere. Gray might, but only for a DC job.
Disappointed in Fuente. VT Asst. Coaches take $50K Paycut and Memphis Coaches get $451K Raise. I would be on Pissed Coach. I look for Wiles and Grey to leave next season. Maybe Fuente will enroll in HR course at VT. Happy Coaches = Success.
Cuba is light years ahead of NK in terms of technology and the people who live there. As for the land itself I mean come on there is a reason it was the Vegas of the South at one point.
He was an amazing TE!
Well bless their hearts!
And Tidewater peeps going to see the squad try and make it three in a row at the VA duals tomorrow?
Depends on the relationship that Fuente and Cornelsen can build with him. Classes start in what, just over a week? Once he's at VT, he's here and would have to sit out if he transfers. We've brought in a very exciting offensive staff; unless Loeffler was the reason he was coming here, I don't know how much this would affect things.
Under the old draft contract system it made sense to stay unless you were in the first round, but now it's almost better to get drafted after the first round as you get to free agency faster. That is of course if you are good enough to stick in the league.
Read the article and thought the same. Frank was fair. Fuente is in uncharted waters and this now scares me as the head coach. I liked the guy up till this point.
