Football scoop is reporting that our graduate assistant, Aaron Moorehead, is being hired as a real-deal coach by Virginia Tech (wideouts, naturally): https://twitter.com/footballscoop/status...6146702336

As we've discussed a fair bit, the WR coaching system has been weird, with some split in responsibilities between Moorehead, Shaw and Hamilton. Whether this has been a contributing factor to the poor WR play is unknown, but at any rate it can't continue.

I wonder how Shaw will respond. There are basically two paths I see:
1) if Hamilton stays put -- Shaw returns to his original calling of coaching wide receivers. IIRC Shaw coached wideouts between 2008 and '10, when they were actually pretty good, especially relative to perceived raw talent (but maybe this is the fan equivalent of beer goggles).

2) if Hamilton leaves -- well, then you have a full-blown staff reshuffling, which could result in all sorts of permutations.

EDIT: (congratulations are due, of course, to Moorehead. Virginia Tech's a nice job and hopefully he'll do well. Also, nice for us in the future in selling the program to prospective graduate assistants, who can truthfully be told we're a feeder to good jobs.)
