Language Warning: Here at Tech Sideline, we generally don't use or allow profanity in our articles. (We have a long-standing tradition of deleting profanity from our message boards as well.) In this case, after some internal discussion, we decided to present this series on former Virginia Tech Defensive Coordinator Phil Elmassian uncensored. So be warned that Elmassian, who is a character to say the least, uses some salty language. — Will Stewart
