Is this a good hire ? i don’t know much about the guy other than Va. Tech has been a train wreck lately.
He was with Knowles at Duke, has experience in the conference as well as a player then GA at OM. He was AHC at several places as well. I wondered if we would go here bc a lot lined up for him to be the guy.

Was really excited by Hunter…but not from any KNOWLEDGE. This a good recruiter and testament to Knowles experience and contacts. Now what am I going to do with all this lighter fluid? 🤔

A list of.guys he's coached that made the NFL. He hasn't exactly coached at powerhouse blue blood programs mind you.

About Heupel age. And hes from South Carolina. Coached with Knowles of course.
We need a CB Coach and he's been doing for 26 years.

Great for Derek and his family. Let go by Virginia Tech and gets SEC gig just down I-81. Perfect timing all around.
