don't ever link Dinich if you want better ACC coverage out of ESPN
this kind of thing happens ALL the time in football. H.S. College. Pro. CFL. Arena. You name it.
Especially in College where recruiting continuity has to be maintained.
It's not quite the "clean sweep" that I think most of us were looking for but a new OC and 2 other new offensive coaches is about all we could realistically hope for. Stinespring has been coaching at VT since 1994, it's going to take more than a .500 season to get rid of him.
And for those worried about friction between the new OC and a demoted OC, think about this for a minute... From the sound of it our offensive coordination was very "collaborative" in the past few years, so it's not like Stinespring wielded sole control over the offensive side of the team and is being forced to give up his kingdom. From all accounts Stinespring is a great person, a great coworker, and easy to get along with. Maybe he just wasn't enough of a hardass to wrangle an entire half of the coaching staff + players.
Keep in mind that over the years we've had a couple guys who were former OC's or even HC's serving with/under Stinespring. Kevin Rogers & Mike O'Cain specifically. So how much of that offensive style & culture was Stinespring and how much was those other veteran coaches? O'Cain was basically co-offensive coordinator the past couple seasons.
"So he doesn't tip his hand."
Get it?... Tip his hand....
His name is HAND.
Glad we made the top 5! I hope he decides to stay home and come to VT... but Bama looms...
Maybe August 31st can sway his decision a little towards Blacksburg...
So he doesnt tip this hand. Everything I read makes me love this kid. Seems very professional in all of his interviews. Engineering program at VT is maybe second biggest draw after the Fosternator.
Maybe this means Stiney will be let go completely...

As long as it doesn't interfere with Pep bringing over some of his staff, I'm fine with it. We've had some very talented tight ends in the past (i.e. Jeff King, Andre Smith, Chris Draget, etc.).
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.
They're just messing with our heads, I swear to God.
.....feud about this.
Let's hope that means just the TE coach part is false.
The plot thickens.
New #VT source disputes earlier Stinespring report. Plot thickens.— Douglas Doughty (@DoughtySports) January 8, 2013

Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.
HD a day late and a dollar short, like always.
Good luck to you in the Air Force. I'm currently residing in Colorado Springs, just minutes away from the Air Force Academy. If you get a chance to check it out, it's beautiful. I agree on Pep; lets see if any news breaks this week.
They're somewhat relaxed about that - I can't tell you the number of times that Dan Patrick has broken a story and it shows up on ESPN's ticker as "sources confirm." They should at least give credit where credit is due.
As a JMU alum, I'm not too thrilled about Newsome going there.
but that "confirm" word looks good to me on ESPN.
And again, it isn't a guarantee that they have each accepted those positions (though Sherman's agent has put Purdue's logo on his profile already), but to me some news is good news in this case.
I'm not denying that they may be gone, but knowing how ESPN works, their "sources" are most likely reporters from other networks...
I didn't drop the phone in the tub. All is well. But I'm still waiting for some good news!!
I never actually went to Virginia Tech, just born a fan I suppose. I thought about going at one point, but I joined the Air Force not too long after graduating high school and have been stationed down here in Louisiana ever since. (yes...SEC country...unbearable)
I'm really hoping we get Pep Hamilton, he leads the exact kind of offense that Virginia Tech is about.
I thought Butch Davis left UNC...how do those guys still compete for top-level talent? $$$$$
