They do at VCU, and have as long as MR was the head coach...

...this is from Jamal Brunt's bio in his hiring at Penn State: "Brunt engineered one of the nation's top defenses throughout his time at VCU as associate head coach and defensive coordinator, helping the Rams to three NCAA Tournament appearances, four national postseason appearances, a pair of Atlantic 10 regular-season titles and an A-10 tournament championship during his five seasons on Rhoades' VCU staff." Byers was always the offensive coordinator and Jamal Brunt the defensive coordinator.

Femoyer Hokie • 04/07/23 09:28 AM ET
Would have to think while some of the offers were to be top assistant...
Cvillehoops13 • 04/07/23 02:13 PM ET
Agreed**
Rev.Zeke Vodka • 04/07/23 02:19 PM ET
Yep wait and see. Maybe the former VT assistant rumor doesn't have legs.**
HokieRat • 04/07/23 09:25 AM ET
Per Chris Arvin 247, that was Frazier and it fell through.**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/07/23 09:27 AM ET
Hm thought folks were saying Bill Courtney. Guess sources are getting mixed
HokieRat • 04/07/23 09:30 AM ET
It was Frazier.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/07/23 11:18 AM ET
Ah my bad, I was going off of a previous thread.
HokieRat • 04/07/23 12:50 PM ET
Courtney was contacted
GCHokie34 • 04/07/23 05:11 PM ET
Would have been kinda awkward for JJ to return as assistant, no?
HokieSA • 04/07/23 05:45 PM ET
If there's one thing I know about JJ...
GCHokie34 • 04/07/23 06:02 PM ET
It wouldn't have been for JJ.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/07/23 06:00 PM ET
Thanks, good to hear. As a fan/alum I never faulted JJ too much
HokieSA • 04/07/23 08:00 PM ET
Hmmm...wife is our Head Volleyball Coach.**
vthhhi • 04/07/23 09:17 AM ET
Pretty accomplished guy, just hired at PSU with Rhoades**
st_andrew • 04/07/23 09:20 AM ET
His background doesn't do much for me.**
NativeBurger • 04/07/23 10:06 AM ET
Seems to me he did pretty good wherever he was **
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/07/23 10:43 AM ET
Hard to evaluate asst 🏀 coaches
tallahasseehokie • 04/07/23 12:39 PM ET
He doesn't publicize a specialty bc they don't have one**
GCHokie34 • 04/07/23 05:24 PM ET
They do at VCU, and have as long as MR was the head coach... ◄
Cvillehoops13 • 04/07/23 09:11 PM ET
I'm talking about MY**
GCHokie34 • 04/07/23 09:13 PM ET
so, how are they evaluated?
tallahasseehokie • 04/07/23 07:07 PM ET
What they bring to the table...
GCHokie34 • 04/07/23 07:50 PM ET
VCU under Rhoades had offensive and defensive coordinator roles...
Cvillehoops13 • 04/07/23 02:16 PM ET
This is my understanding as well. **
