Exum is the man. And that's a perfect response from Moorhead. I hope that he gets those receivers to really make it a battle every day in practice, good competition in practice can only help.

The first thing I want to say, the guys that aren’t here … they’re good coaches, great people We ran into a situation as a group, me included, where we weren’t as consistent on offense as we need to be. The bottom line is that we weren’t as efficient as we need to be. I felt like we needed to make some changes.
I feel like when things are not working as well as they need to, we need to change it around. I found three guys here I feel great about and I think will really add to the program. When you add new people, new personalities, there’s a freshness there, starting over, that gets everyone excited. Meeting these guys, I certainly got excited.
I’m proud I convinced Bryan Stinespring to stay with us. It’s an unusual situation, but he’s a guy who’s extremely knowledge about football. When you look at recruiting, he has a strength that across the state is very valuable.
If he wasn’t the kind of guy he is, I don’t think it would work. There’s a love for Virginia Tech and the players in this program. Bryan is going to make this thing work. I feel very fortunate that he’s staying on. He means a lot to us.

Sorry for double posting, but I was at Andy Bitter's blog and came across this gem:

"Although Beamer said they’d talk about recruiting locations later for the new staff, Stinespring said Grimes will handle Western Pennsylvania, Stinespring and Cornell Brown will be in the 757. Loeffler will recruit quarterbacks and Grimes offensive linemen anywhere, though."

Grimes and Foster sporting goatee.

Morehead and Gray gonna motivate their charges.

Loeffler and Thomas together? Ooooh, I get the chills.

BEAT MOTHAFUCKA ALABAMA AND TAKE BACK THE ACC DOT COM.

I'm excited. All of these guys seem so confident in their approach and how successful Virginia Tech will be with them at the controls.

Loeffler: "I'm not dwelling on mistakes, I'm at Virginia Tech now and my goal is to help this team win football games." I like that he's looking ahead and not behind. Often that's what you need to do to get better.

Grimes: "I want to build the toughest offensive line in the ACC." YES PLEASE! Hopefully the toughest for his entire tenure as OL Coach (and hopefully that's many many years)

Moorehead: "I've watched film of the secondary and you'll see by the end of spring that our young receivers are going to be the hardest working players on the team." Nice comeback to Exum's hilarious interjection in the PC. I like his style, I like his attitude, and I believe his words even though he was in the midst of joshing with Mr. Swag.

I LOVE THE STAFF. LET'S FREAKIN GO HOKIES! CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING BALL.

and as a former offensive lineman, I think I have a man-crush on Grimes. I can't wait to see how our guys respond to this guy. Frank may have found the offensive version of Bud.

OOH!....I like Moorehead! "The recievers on this team are going to out-work everyone on this team. You guys better be ready to bring it!" Nice response! Too bad Marcus Davis isn't going to be around for spring practice. He'd either bump his draft status with another year or ride the pine.

We will make the NCAA tournament next year. Mark my word. You heard it here first.

I'm thinking the addition of Grimes is the key to our success, but I really enjoyed the exchange at the end with Exum and Moorehead. I think his energy will be a great influence on our receivers. I can see him sort of being the Cornell Brown of the offense - a guy with intensity, but great energy and humor. Maybe we'll even get the offensive equivalent of "No Tweedy, it's whip!" I could just picture him getting on one of our guys about blocking downfield or running a route, but then making sure all the guys know they're friends afterwards. I think our whole team will benefit from some youth and new energy.
