Rumors abound on discussion forums, email chains and by the office water cooler regarding Virginia Tech coaching staff changes.  There’s a good chance you’ve heard some of them.  As far as I know, we’ve heard all of them.  Some I’ve brushed aside as silly rumors, and others I’ve taken seriously.  I’ve especially taken seriously the rumors we’ve heard from more than one source.

We don’t cover rumors on TSL, because of what they are: unverified accounts.  That said, over the last month I’ve talked to enough people who know what they are talking about that I feel comfortable addressing everything we’ve heard.

Many names and scenarios have been thrown out there online, whether it be on our forums, on Twitter, etc.  I’ll try to address everything I’ve heard in today’s article.  We heard that Frank Beamer told his offensive assistants that they had his permission to look for other jobs before the season even ended, which is how you would expect a guy like Beamer to handle it.  If those guys can get jobs at other schools without being fired from Virginia Tech, then that would be the classy way to handle it.
