Virginia Tech's offensive line and running game could improve with the expertise of Brent Davis. (Jon Fleming)
Earlier this week, we noted that former Army offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Brent Davis was at Virginia Tech’s practice. He was there again on Saturday, and head coach Brent Pry confirmed that Davis has joined the program as an offensive consultant.

I thought there were rules about who could actually be on the field coaching. Or are there different rules in spring? Anyone know? I honestly thought consultants couldn't "coach".

things are different. coaches are coaches and consultants and analyst are support staff. Like so many in the SEC (who rules college football) designated coaches are coaches who coach, analyst and consultants are advisors who assist the asst coaches. Just like business, you have a department head and you have assistants and hire outside consultants. Just like the NFL. BTW Alabama has over 75 consultants/ analyst...and they comply with the NCAA
Nope those rules have been amended.

Retaining him after the spring should be a no-brainer.

I agree on our end but he may have a much better opportunity in the works on his end.

Hiring Coach Davis should be a priority. However, do we have the right players to have a great running game?

Which comes first, the right coaches or the right players? It takes both and I believe the right coaches can make the players better.
Davis teams did not lead the nation in rushing so many times with the wrong coaches. This team needs help
