Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Xavier Adibi - ILB Coach
Brent Davis - TE Coach
Bryan Whitehead - Nickels Coach
Jireh Wilson - Edges Coach
Cannon Montgomery - Asst. RB Coach
So how do we feel about these new announcements:
Cannon Montgomery - Assistant RBs coach
Brian Whitehead - Nickels coach
Jireh Wilson - Edges coach
Jens Danielsen was also announced, but we knew about him.
Definitely some youth with RB and Edge.
The NFL offseason is heating up, and we have our first Hokie news. Brock Hoffman re-signs with the Cowboys for undisclosed terms. He was an exclusive-rights free agent, and is expected to compete at right guard to replace the retiring Zack Martin.

Couldn't find a previous post or one this fit, so...
Tuten went off at the combine.
Peebles and APR had noteworthy performances too

For comparison
What started as Texas canceling theirs due to the portal is beginning to snowball a bit to a growing trend across the football landscape of high profile schools canceling theirs (Texas, Ohio State, Southern Cal and Nebraska), and now we are even seeing it happen with some others. Just this morning, Dave Doeren has confirmed that all spring practices will be closed to the public this year, which includes a cancellation of the Spring Game.
Thought we could have a running thread for assistants. Not sure if each assistant needs its own thread.
I'll update as more names drop

Yikes! Seems like a bad idea.
Christian Taylor, an assistant with the Bills and former OC at William and Mary is being targeted for the OC job. Same mold as the DC, relatively unknown, been a coordinator at a lower level, has NFL experience and is considered innovative.

He will be the associate director of strength and conditioning with nearly 20 years of experience in the field.
He was a Hokie from 2002-2006.
The part of his background I found most interesting was his time at Camp Lejeune training Marines Special Operators.
Reposting from the Bowen thread. Here's a list of names I compiled immediately after I heard the news, plus I'm continually adding names I'm hearing people would like:
Saw a report that Tyler Bowen has been hired as the OL Coach at an Ohio State, will try to get the tweet to embed. Would be a tough blow this late in the cycle and further perpetuates the money gap if our OC is being poached to be a position coach.
All, with the schedule being released, and a unique situation for me personally that I will post in the comments, I thought I'd get the 2025 Ticket Exchange Thread going:
Per TKP Staff in prior years:
List extra tickets you're looking to offload, or inquire about tickets you need. Do not post any tickets above face value. Understand that Orange and Maroon Media, LLC is exempt from any liability from transactions that are initiated here, and will not assist in brokering any transactions.
The best way to exchange email addresses is to encode them, for example: foo [AT] bar (dot) com.
Threads with tickets for sale found elsewhere will be deleted without warning.
ESPN is exercising its option to extend its television rights contract with the Atlantic Coast Conference — which initially ran until 2027 — through 2036, Dellenger reported Thursday morning. Part of that extension, per Dellenger, stipulates that the Irish will face the traditional football powers of the ACC more often.
The league's biggest brands — Florida State, Miami and Clemson — are expected to play more football games regularly with Notre Dame," Dellenger wrote. "The Irish are expected to play, at the very least, two of the three each season in a rotation.

A Wisconsin DB Nyzier Fourqurean is now suing the NCAA claiming because he played at DII Grand Valley State, he deserves extended eligibility.
This is quoted directly from the Lawsuit:
"Preventing college student-athletes like plaintiff that attended Division II schools from competing in a third and fourth year of NCAA Division I football due to prior attendance at a Division II school, therefore limiting their economic opportunities to participate in the NIL marketplace available to Division I athletes, and otherwise unreasonably restrain competition in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act,"
