Also in coaching rumor mill grist - washingtonismoney - 01-06-2013

A lot of smoke on Twitter about the possibility of Pep Hamilton going to coordinate Va. Tech's offense.

I struggle to see the attraction (and as I write this I am wearing a VT shirt).  Any insight on why/how this would make sense?

A few guesses:
1) more money
2) more credit -- whatever success the Stanford offense has will probably primarily attributed to Shaw (who's obviously primarily an offensive guy). Since credit is the primary currency that buys a head coaching job, Hamilton might be wise to seek out a job where he'll get more.
3) closer to home -- Hamilton's from DC and has spoken with affection for the region (http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/rose-bowl-pep-hamilton-using-his-washington-ties-to-stanfords-advantage/2012/12/31/d69dbb6e-5127-11e2-839d-d54cc6e49b63_story.html)
