The staffing race has grown well beyond analysts. After looking at a number of teams, I find that the following roles are also places that teams have been out-resourcing each other:

• Coaching advisors, i.e., Jerry Kill-types
• Recruiting staff (including Player Personnel staff)
• Player Development staff
• Operations

Tech has seen growth in these roles, too. While the concern for the Hokies post-Baylor appears to be, at least in part, growing the staff, it was also a concern for Fuente when he was first hired. Here’s a comparison between football staff right now and Beamer’s last year:

Even though these positions have nearly doubled, there are a few spots that are probably vacant only because of money reasons. There’s no player development staff for the offense now that Lechtenberg is a field coach and no paid analyst for special teams. That would bring the core support staff up to eleven people. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was planned growth for recruiting staff, too, which could mean another few faces.
