I would love to see more of these to showcase the staff.
I think this is Episode 1, although not labeled like Episode 2. I enjoyed E2 much more.
Stay tuned for an exclusive look at today's team meeting led by @CoachPrioleauVT | #Hokies π¦ https://t.co/LRTOQR6jJrβ Virginia Tech Football (@HokiesFB) February 10, 2021

Just fire him, get somebody else. Just one too many errors.

I don't have time to make a huge initial post, but I thought today's coordinator media availability was worthy of a thread.
A few tidbits that I found worrisome from Corn (at least from perusing the tweets):
1) We're thin at tackle (freshmen will be getting reps);
2) Burmeister is the clear number 1 at the moment (this was obvious, but the acknowledgment is unique);
3) We need him to bulk up in the offseason for durability; and
4) We are not looking to add any more depth at the QB spot.

A really nice goodbye note:
Congrats Bruce, Cody, and Nick
I've combed through the 247Sports Composite player rankings for every state and picked out RECRUITING CHAMPIONS for each. Which team recruited each state best, going solely off the closest thing we have to consensus player ratings? Here's a map:

Did not see a thread for this. Who we got, who do we want, how many slots are there? Let the chaos begin...
J.C. Price is returning to his old stomping grounds after being hired Tuesday to be Virginia Tech's new co-defensive line coach and defensive recruiting coordinator.
Price, who was a four-year starting defensive lineman at Virginia and a third-team All-American in 1995, returns to Tech after spending the last nine seasons as an assistant coach at Marshall, including the last two seasons as the Thundering Herd's co-defensive coordinator. He'll replace Darryl Tapp, a Deep Creek High and Tech alum who vacated the Hokies' co-defensive line coach role last week to accept an assistant coaching job with the San Francisco 49ers.
To sum up the article linked below, if the average % for FBS kickers to make a FG between 30-39 yards is 75%, then the average value added across the FBS is 2.25 points (3*0.75). Therefore if a kicker makes the kick, he has added 0.75 points to his team above the average. But if he misses, he has lost 2.25 points below the average. So out of 5 kicks in the 30-39 yard range, the average FBS kicker would bring in 11.25 points (5*2.25) to his/her team. If your kicker goes 5/5 in that same range, they've added 15 points (5*3), putting him 3.75 points above the average FBS kicker in terms of value added.
