UPDATED 1/10/2013 10:30PM: Offensive coaching staff for next year

[sparko]

I'm not sure that this is a done deal yet .. No surprise if it is though .. Other scoop sites are still mentioning Pep

 

[BeachNHokie]

I really hope the Pep Hamilton rumors are true. If he could bring Mike Bloomgren with him that would be an absolute home run for us.

 

[HoHumHokie]

Yep! Fingers Crossed.

 

[wildturkey]

Pep is too perfect. That's why Weaver/Beamer will ignore him.



And yes, I am just saying that to prepare myself for disappointment

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

It was nice watching and offensive line maul and play nasty.

 

[NickVT10]

If we could get a power run game going with the athletes we can get at WR, our PA pass would be dirtyyyy

 

[NickVT10]

Well, both names that have been mentioned are done with their bowl games. Any info coming through the pipes?

 

[757Hokie83]

this waiting game sucks! we need answers now! lol

 

[amszete]

Yea its tough to wait like this for sure. I am honestly giddy right now. I know this sounds horrible, but i was wishing for a mediocre season* from the get go where our offensive struggles could easily be identified. Well I got my wish and now it's like a late XMas present for all of us.

Who will get the reigns for this offense going forward? Will those who can stay - in fact stay? And not go to the NFL if we hit a home run with our hire?


Note: Wanted to be bowl eligible, beat FSU on that Thurs night game and of course, beat the hell out of Virginia.

Apparently there are more than two candidates to be interviewed. Sounds like we won't hear anything from Beamer until late next week.

Is it confirmed that they are interviewing? And I am fine with next week as long as it is actually happening. Im assuming its Hamilton, Elliot, ODU OC, anyone else?

I hear the same names and speculation as everyone else. C.Coleman of TSL pointed out the annual AFCA convention is scheduled for next week (Jan. 6-9) and that the candidates will likely be attending. Expect things to go down immediately afterwards.

Anyone want to go to Nashville and be a fly on the wall for a few days? Looks like anyone can sign up!....just tell them you are the head coach at Podunk University.

2013 AFCA Convention

I am the GA of the SportsHoopla University Superflys!

 

[VTfoozball]

Let me do the interviewing.

"Hi Mr. Hamilton, you're hired. And see that old guy over there that everybody keeps calling Newsome? Stick this 'kick me back to JMU' sign on his back"

 

[BeachNHokie]

We need to make a spot on our coaching staff available for Ray Lewis and try to grab him before he goes to Miami (get Tyrod in his ear). I think he will be awesome as a coach if he decides to go into it and I could also see him being a very good recruiter. The videos I have seen him doing motivational speeches it seems like he just has everybody mesmerized because of how intense he is.

I agree with everything you say, but I don't think he would ever come to BBurg. He bleeds Cane Orange.

 

[Chrish1023]

I would be shocked if he doesn't stay with the Ravens as some sort of assistant. He is a legend in Baltimore and all the current players love him.

I know and that sucks bad for the rest of the ACC if him and Ed Reed decide they want to coach in college. If they stay on to coach in the NFL I am fine with that.

 

[757Hokie83]

Sounds like he might be heading south...evidently he told his son that if he got a full ride somewhere, he'd be there to watch him play. His son will be a freshman at Miami next year i believe

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I don't want that guy anywhere near our program. It is a Shapiro mess waiting to happen.
