Va. Tech hires Scot Loeffler as OC

That's a pretty safe move for Va Tech. Not very exciting, but safe.

Glad he landed on his feet. Va Tech is a fine program. His year at Auburn might not have been the best indicator of his ability, since that program was a train wreck last year. Hope he's able to put up big enough numbers to be considered for OC at Michigan when Borges decides to hang it up.

Seems right down Beamers alley....run the ball and play tough D. Surprised he got ath VT job after the dumpster fire down in Auburn.

solid hire.   

Congratulations to Mr. Loefler.  VT is getting a good representative for its school and program.  I wish him the best of luck in all games he coaches unless it is ever against us.

DO YOUR THING SCOT!!!

He gets to face Bama first game of the year.

Players coached

Loeffler has served as position coach for a number of prominent players over his career. Loeffler was the college quarterbacks coach to future NFL Draft picks Tom Brady, Tim Tebow, Brian Griese, Chad Henne, Drew Henson and John Navarre. The players have started over 300 regular-season NFL games and garnered a combined four Super Bowl rings as pros.

Many have jumped the bandwagon, but if he turns VT's horrible offense into something, I'd be all for Loeffler returning to Ann Arbor.

I saw VT 3 times this year in Blacksburg, Logan Thomas was horrible and the offense was even worse. If he can turn it around, I'll be driving the bandwagon for SL's return.

More than anything this serves as evidence how truly broken and incompetant the entire staff at Auburn must have been.  There must have been a lot of sandbagging in the interview on Loeffler's part to be able to nab this job (even though he has the pedigree).

Hopefully he succeeds at VT and his services will not be needed in Ann Arbor for a very long time if at all.

This is a pretty good move by Virginia Tech and this program and its personnel and far more suit Loeffler and the run-first style that he seems to favor in his OC stints. In 2011, Temple finished seventh, I believe, in rushing yards in 2011 and 39th in scoring offense, which provides some evidence that Auburn simply was not a fit given the situation and personnel (especially when it was a transition from Malzahn's offense). He's also worked with some pretty good QBs, as we are well aware, and the diverse resume undoubtedly helps too. This last year, Virginia Tech was 79th in rushing offense and 81st in total offense - but I think he'll have the tools and freedom to do good works with the offense in Blacksburg. Good luck to Scot. 

he recruits well and he can develop talent. 

Looking forward to seeing Scot at Lane. I was at their FSU and UVA games this year and man was the offense hard to watch. I think with injuries on O-line and loss of Coale and David Wilson they didn't have many chances to score.

I'll take a Michigan grad to coach my alma mater any day.

Scot roomed with my friend at UM, so I hung out with him on many occasions many years ago. Class act, in my opinion. Best of luck to him, except on the off chance of playing them again.

Go Blue, Beat Ohio...

(misplaced reply to another post...have placed reply correctly)

Beat Ohio!

Let's see what he does in a vey average ACC.

This is a great fit for Loeffler and VT. I think this should breath new life into them offensively.
