"Virginia Tech: According to CBS Sports reporter Bruce Feldman, former Auburn offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler has been hired as Virginia Tech's offensive coordinator."

Hire their castoff coordinators.

It was abysmal. Listened to most of the game on the radio and I watched OT on TV and of course they do that.

Perhaps he should have run the ball even more. The top two running backs at Auburn both averaged almost 6 yards a carry and scored 14 touchdowns. I am trying to catch up on film. Auburn seemed to transition back into a more traditional offensive set, but still ran some of the read/spread as well. This is worrisome, because I think this team desperately needs a singular vision and fundamental set on offense and it seems like Loeffler dabbles with multiple offenses. At the same time, he has spent time with people who really understand those offenses with Lloyd Carr's pro-set at Michigan and Meyer as the originator of the HUHN in big boy college football at Florida.

My biggest worry is supposed to be Loeffler's strength. He is supposed to be a QB guy, and yes, he worked with some good ones. But, ask yourself, did each one get better under his tutelege?

Henne was a longtime starter at Michigan, but his best season was his freshman year. John Navvare was another highly touted guy who never really improved. Tebow was as good a college football player we will see, but his game was much more dependant on his athleticism and willpower than mechanics and throwing. He was a better passer as a senior, but not significantly. Brantley was the top QB recruit in the country and didn't pan out. Keihl Frazier was the 5th best QB recruit in the country, and his performance last year made Logan Thomas look like John Elway. They like him, but I don't see the upward trend in performance that I would like to see.

I need to learn more about Grimes.

with auburns OL also hired, and reports that Stiney is staying (and Shane obviously is), we have room for 1 more coach. Who's it going to be?

And what position is Stinespring going to hold? Shane to special teams, Stiney as either WR or RB coach?

What hurt the most about this game was that I felt like, we as fans, earned that win. The rain didn't stop us; we were loud the entire night and I really felt that the team was feeding off of us.

The moment that Eddie Royal couldn't come up with the on-side kick, I knew we were in trouble. I mean, who else do you want to handle the ball in this situation?

Longest, coldest, quietest walk back to the commuter lot ever...

The cops came in and told us and it went from semi-party atmosphere to depressing like that. The L was worse than the DIP.

Is Antonio Freeman busy? Flashing a Super Bowl ring around can't hurt on recruiting trips. I can't remember if he was a good blocker (to be frank, I showed up in Blacksburg in '98 so he was slightly before my time there).

Anyone know if VT has confirmed this yet? Bitter says Feldman is rarely wrong.

Wow...you typed that really fast.

Auburn owes Loeffer his salary of $500,000 through 2014, though any salary he earns through the end of his contract will offset. I will be surprised if we would be willing to pay him that much. I personally don't think he is worth it.
