Coaching moves

What are Jones and Suggs up to these days?

according to Wikipedia Suggs is the QB coach for Oberlin College, and Jones joined the UFL Hartford Colonials in 2010, I believe that league fell through though, no? I think I had heard at one point he came back to VT to get his degree

KJ is also on the panel for the search for the next AD

Wow... why? FAU? Really? I think I'd rather have a service academy job.

EDIT: Old news I guess, they didn't hire little Beamer... http://www.arkansasmatters.com/stor...fau-head-coach/d/story/nhsSA97zKE-SoKXfGm3_lg

EDIT OF EDIT: Read the quote wrong, thought this was still in play. See now it was an after-the-fact thing. Still surprising and bizarre.

Stinespring interviewed at JMU, and according to Matthew Stoss of the Daily News-Record, is one of the top contenders for the job

Not much there except for interest in the subject of Beamer's retirement.

I'm not the least bit surprised that he'd have to take a significant cut. It's an odd name to surface. He must really want to be a head coach. I guess JMU could use it as an excuse for raising student fees again.

My guess is that Urban already told him he won't be back on the Ohio State staff next year. Won't surprise me if more defensive staff from the Buckeyes take an exit this off-season. Their assistant coaches get paid well and are probably on a short leash when the team doesn't perform well.

Saw something on twitter that Withers is still negotiating more money from JMU.

UConn is poaching our coaching staff......Dex and Vince Brown are definitely headed up north.

Sounds like a lateral move...

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Isn't Dex an ace recruiter for you?

 

[vtfan15]

Is there any truth to the rumors of West leaving with them? They may as well leave now before the house cleaning after next year.

Even if the move makes GT better, I'd still be happy not seeing that douchebag's face

Possible commitment shifts coming along with this?
