I'm not sweating the DC hire. Marve struggled so much that any change

is an upgrade. I think Rutgers could line up right now with the same play....and Marve still wouldn't have an schematic answer for it. Pry is probably a lame duck at this point, so not so easy to hire first choice. Only disturbing part of this rumor is DE coach. I think Price is one of the few getting it done on the D. I'd much rather see some help for LB and secondary. Perhaps this guy is a non-negotiable.

Spencer lead recruiter per 247 on 38 4 stars incl S. Barkley and M. Parsons**
Woody • 01/27/25 02:52 PM ET
Exactly thats why if ifs a package take it
1947Sunbowl • 01/27/25 03:08 PM ET
Bateman would be a good hire for VT. To think otherwise is to have your
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 02:41 PM ET
That depends upon what your goal is.**
marcbvtgm • 01/27/25 05:08 PM ET
LOL, the goal is to get better on defense and better at recruiting players.
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 05:27 PM ET
Haha--that was a joke , right ?**
ncook • 01/27/25 03:01 PM ET
Come with realistic candidates who SHOULD be on our list.**
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 03:21 PM ET
Is he still at a&m?**
949hokie • 01/27/25 12:35 PM ET
I would love that hire, but at this point I would take anybody. **
jkharman • 01/27/25 11:40 AM ET
Loved him in Ozark.**
Palmetto Hokie • 01/27/25 10:15 AM ET
Again with "Sounds like..."?**

Fatman • 01/27/25 08:49 AM ET
DT ok, his DE development has been mediocre.**
icelus • 01/27/25 02:34 PM ET
Think price stays. Prielou gies back to non recruiting coach**
hokietom87 • 01/27/25 09:11 AM ET
Will be better than Marve and can recruit. Not all bad.**
kchokie • 01/27/25 07:57 AM ET
It’s a burner account
tallahasseehokie • 01/27/25 07:31 AM ET
Not thrilled with his past production but has coached the position.
CPVT3 • 01/27/25 01:52 PM ET
If somehow VT could sign him I’m on board
tallahasseehokie • 01/27/25 02:06 PM ET
Lol whelp we know nothing. Wasn't hired haha**
CPVT3 • 01/28/25 07:48 AM ET
Randolph-Macon representin'!!!**
Tuckahokie • 01/27/25 05:57 AM ET
And Hampden Sydney. **
kchokie • 01/27/25 07:56 AM ET
It's an ok hire I guess
VaTechHokiesACC • 01/27/25 02:25 AM ET
Does this mean Ann Margret's not coming?**
BMoreHokie • 01/27/25 12:45 AM ET
Sgt Hartman could provide discipline but doesn't connect with recruits.
KCHokie2 • 01/27/25 01:36 AM ET
You mean Gunny Hartman**
Happy Dog • 01/27/25 08:10 AM ET
Is Sgt. Hartman is a good proxy for Elmassian? **
MaroonLantern • 01/27/25 08:05 AM ET
Well.. **
UberHOKIE • 01/26/25 11:57 PM ET
Thought you were “hearing” Sean Quinn was being promoted **
ombandit • 01/26/25 11:24 PM ET
Heard we are hiring Steve Spagnuolo once the Chiefs season is over**
VTJayLaw • 01/26/25 10:56 PM ET
where did you hear this from?
lazarus1 • 01/26/25 10:40 PM ET
He was great in Arrested Development and Horrible Bosses**
HwoodHokie • 01/26/25 10:25 PM ET
Cagey guy. He always outfoxed Ricky on "Silver Spoons".
KCHokie2 • 01/26/25 10:37 PM ET
Also great with money and body disposal on Ozark
Happy Dog • 01/27/25 06:15 AM ET
He's not a homerun but I like it**
hokietom87 • 01/26/25 10:05 PM ET
Went for a home run.
La Gargola • 01/26/25 10:25 PM ET

Maybe I'm just a pessimistic beaten down fan but Bateman feels more like
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 09:57 AM ET
I like it. Just from what we could have had it just brings it down a little
La Gargola • 01/27/25 10:44 AM ET
Grain of salt but here's some perspective
CPVT3 • 01/27/25 01:58 PM ET
What could have been? He's the best rumor I've ever seen on this board?**
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 11:37 AM ET
Yeah I'm kind of a fan the more I read.
CPVT3 • 01/27/25 01:56 PM ET
Yeah, I completely want him and now I'm worried it's a bad rumor and we
BG Hokie • 01/27/25 02:39 PM ET
