Looks like special teams could go either way...
This is the truth, there are (at last estimate) 244,000 Hokie alumni and there are less than 10,000 Hokie Club members, that is less than 5 percent of graduates! I think that number should be closer to 10% to get the athletic department competitive on a national level. I like my current standing in the HC, but would not be upset to drop about 5,000 spots due to new arrivals.
Well that's just not very sporting of the Virginia Tech Foundation.
I remember it "Shibeamer Ball", have seen it misspelt more than "Fuentes" already
That's the weird/awkward part with retaining a DC. At that point he's basically saying he's okay with everything we have in place defensively, so why wouldn't you just retain all defensive staff? Unless they were going to be let go regardless of the HC change or choose to leave themselves.
Not disagreeing with keeping Bud because obviously he's fantastic and they're not gonna find someone better, but that's where things start to get dicey with who stays and who goes.

# | Report: Memphis Assistants Holman Wiggins and James Shibest to Join Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech Wait, everyone did the same type of wish casting on the HC hire. Do you see anyone here whining that we didn't do what they said?
Just seems like you have fabricated a scenario in your mind that doesn't exist. At least not on TKP.
I just went from six to midnight
I went 200% Hokie today.
Would if I had the dolla dolla bills y'all.
I don't disagree with you at all... I am anxious to see how it pans out though.
SOLD!!! What am I buying, now?
Same with the O-line, 4 coaches in 5 years
TKP staff better get a pot of coffee brewing, I have the feeling it is about to get busy around here for the next week!
How much did he make per win while at LOLUVA?
I also hate it that Isaiah and Cam have to work with their 3rd WR's coach in as many years.

# | Report: Memphis Assistants Holman Wiggins and James Shibest to Join Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech Pretty sure Vice is all but confirmed.
I guess I am a little surprised to see so many people wanting to keep assistants on staff for recruiting purposes after all the complaints about recent recruiting. I would think most would want new relationships, now is the time to do it as MD and UVA are replacing their relationships as well.
I would actually be very worried if they hired him
Well UCF hired Babers and it looks like Syracuse might hire Frost so we got those 2 down
With as much as everyone is saying Fuente will develop Lawson, I think he could also make Motley into a damn good QB too. I'm interested to see how it'll all play out. I'd assume maybe seeing them split play time during the Spring game..
My idea would be to take the retro helmets with gloss finish and white face mask and slap on a fighting gobbler. No tapered stripe or matte finish. Full on retro treatment of a retro logo.
My main concern here is that the same staff has been recruiting the region (and more importantly the state) for 29 years now. For better and for worse, relationships have been built. I'm anxious to see how new relationships are established.
In my mind this is one of the most intriguing and one of the most important aspects of the transition.
Will get downvoted for this, and that's cool. I hate UVA, but London always seemed like a good guy. Off the football field, and certainly never near or against VT, I hope good things come by him. He never had a lot of the bad stuff associated with him that come by some coaches, and I can respect it.
Shibest is quite possibly the best ST coach in the country. His STs were dominant statistically at Ole Miss and at Memphis.

Doubling this year, we can do better than 110%!
