Taylor: Security compels Mitchell’s move to Virginia Tech

Some disdain amongst some of the VT faithful that this guy isn't a good enough recruiter to have been given the job. Can you 'Eers give us any insight into his recruiting abilities, or lack thereof?

I am quite pleased with hire. At a glance, He seems to be a very solid coach with some really strong experience playing and coaching DBs. I think we are lucky to get him.

He sucks as a football coach. He sucks as a recruiter.

Just kidding.

The guy is pretty solid at recruiting. There have been tweets from some in this recent class... their parents too... mentioning what a solid guy he is and how bummed they are he's leaving.

Good hire for VT And smart move for both he and VT. His rep was prob going to take a bath this year with the youth we are going to have in the defensive backfield and only rushing 3 lineman in this conference.
Throw in Dana being in the hotseat and WVU possibly cleaning house and... No brainer. Babcock usually makes sound moves, I'd say this one will work out well for VT.

He sucks as a football coach. He sucks as a recruiter.

Dang right he does.. Now anyway

Timing sucks...but this is a promotion for the guy..if he wants to be an HC this is a good move for him..

True...true. But for the glass half empty guys, it's a good spin for them.

Promotion for another one of Dana's assistants. Nothing could be more complimentary.

But not for the glass half empty guys. Where art thou, Doc?

 

[GoldRusher]

Why not promote him at WVU? Why hire Wickline and make him OC?

 

[bbwvfan]

Dana must not have been too impressed with Lonnie's coaching abilities.
