Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Doing it countdown style, from easiest to toughest:

Not only is this a short list of tenured assistants. But VT has 3 of 4. This is what VT is all about. Loyalty.
Virginia Tech boasts the longest continuous-serving assistant coaches

Bud Foster - Virginia Tech defensive coordinator (1987)
Foster and Frank Beamer have been together since 1981, when Foster was a graduate assistant at Murray State. The two moved to Blacksburg in 1987 and have remained together, with Foster leading what is typically one of the best defenses in the country since 1995.
Release the hounds.

Long story short... The US Patent Office found the name Washington Redskins to be disparaging to Native Americans in a 2-1 vote, and as such, the trademark needed to be voided and canceled. This is effective immediately.
This is a thing that happened.

Looks like he will have a hand in recruiting, as well as a role in connecting with our current and former pro athletes (i.e. $$$). Welcome back to the AD, KJ!
EDIT: His job title makes me think of this guy:
SportsOnEarth.com's Michael Weinreb wrote an article listing a program in each conference he'd least like to be a fan of at this juncture of his existence: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/79495344/least-hopeful-teams-in-the....
Atlantic Coast Conference: Virginia
Five-Year Record: 21-40. Average 2013 attendance: 46,279. Stadium capacity: 61,500.
My husband is currently deployed again, and I would like to send him some of the preview magazines for this college football season. Any of y'all have recommendations for which ones I should get? Maybe ones that feature Tech articles? Thanks!
In preparation for his annual charity event in Hampton Roads, Mike Vick gave an interview with David Teel in which he claimed to be the trendsetter for QBs such as Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin, Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel, and Andrew Luck among others. For some reason, this season Vick finds himself as Geno Smiths back with the New York Jets.
As a player who paved the way for so many successful QBs and who gave defensive coordinators nightmares preparing for his game, is Michael underappreciated in the NFL?

So with Melvin, Amo, and Kendall recruiting him I like our chances.
Uplifting comeback.. kid is talented and disappointing we did not have him last couple of years. Prototype size and athletic.. would have been a gem on the team

It's like salt in a wound.
Is there anyone else out there who finds "futbol" inferior, flamboyant, and utterly uninteresting?
I grew up in Christiansburg from 1982-1992 and have many great memories of going to VT games as a kid. Watching BRUCE!, sneaking into games as my dad was a volunteer ticket-taker, sitting wherever me and my friends wanted (there were plenty of empties), etc.
At long last, the finish line:

Shane Beamer believes that the biggest need for Virginia Tech in the 2015 class is defensive line. With about 5 seniors graduating this year, the Hokies are also in need of offensive linemen. The 2015 recruiting class is loaded with defensive and offensive linemen. Hopefully, they are paying attention and are looking for early playing time at an elite program like Virginia Tech.
