I get this probably sarcastic, but it does seem many Hokie fans are a little bit butt sore. In the world of college coaching carousel, VT had 1 minor loss. I can think of so many more schools that should feel much more angst than VT:
Georgia - lost DC to UL
FSU - lost one of the best DC to UGA
Oregon - lost their DC and hired their LB coach
Louisville - lost great head coach to Texas and hired a PR nightmare
Bama - lost their OC to Michigan (huh?) and hired Lane Kiffin (huh?!?)

Unfortunately, in today's CFB landscape the best way to attract great assistants is to have a history of sending other assistants off to more lucrative locations.

Sounds like y'all really want this Bostad guy. If he's really had anything to do with Wisconsin's o-line, hire that man. Trey Edmunds/Shai Mackenzie/Marshawn Williams + a well coached o-line = yes.

Tech would be a great spring board for a good offensive line coach.

A head coach and offensive coordinator with a history of running the ball, some good talent at the rb position, in a major conference. The potential is there to build a really good running unit here.

Add in the past two poor rushing years, and a coach who is looking to advance his career has a great chance to buy low, then sell high down the road.

I would love to watch a football game sitting next to both of you guys...I'd have a recorder out and a pen and a pad. I also probably wouldn't be able to drink just so I could keep up...that's the only downside I can think of

Guys can you give me some perspective on this. Im just wondering why any of them are surefire to accept the position if offered? They are all Oline coaches as far as I can tell at their respective schools so it is just a lateral move. Wasnt sure if Searels status was in limbo with a coaching change ect. Are we looking to offer a pay raise or whats the motive to come here? Not trying to be critical as they all look to be solid candidates.

Agree, which is part of the reason I wouldn't mind seeing leal win the job. Not only would it help the program by giving the young QBS a redshirt year, but it would force loeffler to build a strong running game. Edmonds is capable of being a really good every down back, and the more Williams tape I watch the more I feel that he'll be a factor in next years rotation. Add in Malleck and some freshmen talent out wide, next seasons offense could establish a real identity as a power running, play action unit.

They definitely used the pin and pull on the edge a lot, no question. That's something I would have liked to have seen more of this year.

I don't specifically recall how much stretch they ran to the outside, so you could very well be right on that point (you usually are).

Regardless of who the hire is, I just hope that loeffler gets back to the under the center running attack we saw at auburn when his backs had very good per carry averages
