The running back position at Virginia Tech will be a topic of great discussion this offseason as there are plenty of candidates to emerge as the go-to back.

More questions than answers . John, this presents some real challenges for our staff and with Harrs coming in late it makes it even harder to get a fix on who , when, and why.

may the best man win... I like all the questions means nobody is guaranteed a spot and makes for better competition. Competition is what we need.

Hopefully every offensive position will be an open audition and up for grabs with the new staff. Also have to like Loeffler's comments that LT's problems are an easy fix. I know the season is a long ways off but I get a feeling we may be in for a surprising season with the infusion of new ideas and coaching philosophies.

I am pulling for Harris, Coleman and Edwards to keep gregory and Holmes off of the field.

I would like to see Gregory move to WR. IMO that should have taken place this year..

Interesting that Gregory was the most effective of that group according to the statistics. He runs like a poor man's Jamaal Charles and I have a lot of respect for that fearless style especially given his injury history.

Well that's considering Scott loeffler is successful as oc. He was a disaster last year at auburn but he has excelled with quarterbacks so that could be something. I do like his power style he's a lot more committed than ocain and stinespring combined but that last year at auburn is hard to ignore

I like Gregory too, no one really had a chance behind that line last year.

I am just happy that 1) there is a new OC, 2) there are 2 new offensive assistant coaches and 3) Billy Hite will be off the sidelines.
I don't know what that means about the RB rotation as far as who will get starts or playing time, but it gives me hope that the best RB's will be on the field and be put in a better position to succeed than last year. Can't wait until the Spring Game.

Pretty easy to ignore when you look at the fact that he was taking a spread offense with athletes recruited for the spread and tried to implement a pro style offense without any of his kind of players and 2 young mediocre QB's.
