for those interested, Football Scoop posted "Sources tell FootballScoop that Whit Babcock considers Larry Fedora a strong candidate at Virginia Tech. We are also of the understanding that Rich Rodriguez will not be a candidate for this position."
as far as I can tell and recall back that's the site that first broke the news of Holgorsen to WVU.
"We reported early Monday morning that Dana Holgorsen would have a new home by the end of the week. Out of respect for Bill Stewart and his staff at West Virginia, we left it at that. We had confirmed that Holgorsen had met with WVU athletic director Oliver Luck last week. In fact, Luck also interviewed a current mid-major head coach. Luck sadly made the decision to hire Holgorsen as the head coach in-waiting before informing head coach Bill Stewart. And the crazy world of the coaching profession continues. For the record, Bill Stewart is 28-11 in three seasons as the head coach at West Virginia."
that was posted Dec 14 of 2010, two weeks prior to the bowl game vs NC State. that news fell on the heels of WVU winning four in a row vs Cincy, L'Ville, Pitt and Rutgers to get to 9-3.
anyhow for VT, that's a bit of a curve ball, if it's true. Fedora's UNC team plays VT Saturday in Beamer's final game in Lane Stadium. talk about an awkward ending and a distraction as the Hokies are looking to get bowl eligible and send Beamer out on a positive note.
for Rodriguez, again if this is true, he's either staying at Ariz or headed somewhere other than VT.
