The Virginia Tech Friday Q&A: New Staff Positions, Basketball, And More

Brent Pry Virginia Tech

1) Can you give a breakdown of the off-the-field staff? I know you guys talked about it on the Podcast, but it’d be great to have a visual of what Hazel, Villagrana, the Director of Recruiting person, Ballein’s daughter, etc. do. I’m confused as to where the crossover is, etc. – Bon Jovi Hokie

Chris Coleman: First, keep in mind that not all off-the-field staff have been announced. Second, also remember that a job description on a person’s online bio isn’t always 100% indicative of what they do on a day-to-day basis. I say that second part from experience. When I was Managing Editor of TechSideline, I actually did very little managing. My current title of Lead Analyst and Columnist (is that what I’m called now?…let me go check…yep, that’s it) is a much more accurate description of what I’ve been doing all these years. My job title changed, but what I did on a day-to-day basis did not.

Earlier this week, I wrote an article that was mostly about strength & conditioning, plus the new Director of Sports Science for Football. I won’t waste your time in repeating any of that here. If you missed it or want a refresher, click here for the article.
