Ummm...<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Les Miles says he doesn't expect to hire an offensive line coach any time soon. Threw out &quot;7-10 days.&quot; <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23LSU&amp;src=hash">#LSU</a></p>&mdash; Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) <a href="https://twitter.com/DellengerAdv/statuses/423212655550013441">January 14, 2014</a></blockquote>

ok, I really like the sound of that.


Hope you guys don't believe an SEC head coach?

maybe Grimes is just testing the fan base....maybe he is sitting back reading all these boards to see just how much he means to the Hokies, and how much we don't want to lose him.

I don't understand Franklin. Why would you let Larry Johnson go to your biggest rival (tOSU), to bring in Chip West?

Did he let Larry Johnson go or did he resign?

From coaching search.com: LSU: CoachingSearch has learned that LSU has offered the offensive line job to Virginia Tech offensive line coach Jeff Grimes.



Somebody tweet Grimes and ask him what's up?

Man big loss for Whova. The chips are falling. London must be sweating like a whore in church...

Recruitment wise, it would be a rather large loss, but from a coaching standpoint, it won't hurt. 2014 needs to be all about getting the most out of players, and that is something that the DB's just haven't done under West.

Sure...that's what I meant more so than an actual coach. Widely regarded as one of the best recruiters out there right now. Can sell the dream as good as CML himself..

Is everyone still standing pat with the recruiting class Jeffro?? I imagine the big dogs (Brown, Blanding, Kamara, Cutler) will all be there as long as CML is there. Still, all of these defections has to have them squirming just a little....

and there you have it...<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Billy Ray Mitchell's HS coach, Chris Partridge, said someone from <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Hokies&amp;src=hash">#Hokies</a> has reached out to Mitchell, told him Jeff Grimes taking LSU job.</p>&mdash; Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) <a href="https://twitter.com/RTD_MikeBarber/statuses/423531235655159808">January 15, 2014</a></blockquote>

This would be nice, but VT athletics has taught me to not get my hopes up.
