Just move Roberts back to coaching the special teams (he did so in the past), and hire a seasoned safeties and cornerbacks coach: Mike Reed (NC State) Mike Siravo (Boston College) Josh Conklin (UT Vols) … or just deal with reality and grab a grad asst. from a FBS school and call it a day.

Touche...I tend to not use apostrophes because a lot of the contractions are such common knowledge that I figure people would know what I mean even without it.

He doesnt...he does have a philosophy that affects it but he isnt the special teams coach. I did notice that they didnt have one listed on the VT website though

Maybe he is then...but to be fair I dont think that is who Grant is referring to because itd be a cold day in a very hot place for Frank Beamer to leave a very lucrative job at VT.

Josh Bookbinder
Special Teams Coordinator

College: Baylor ('09)
Start Date: 1/5/12
Email: jtbookbinder@liberty.edu
Bookbinder comes to Liberty after spending the two seasons at Carson-Newman. In 2009, Bookbinder served as the Eagles' linebackers coach before being promoted to special teams coordinator and defensive ends assistant coach for the 2010 season. He also served assistant recruiting coordinator during his time at Carson-Newman.

While at Carson-Newman, Bookbinder had the opportunity to work under NCAA Division II Football Hall of Fame coach Ken Sparks. During Sparks' three-decade tenure at Carson-Newman, the Eagles have won five national championships, 21 South Atlantic Conference titles and produced more than 100 Division II All-Americans.

As a part of Turner Gill's coaching staff, Bookbinder will be a defensive quality control staff member, a position he is familiar with after serving in the same role at Richmond in 2009.

Bookbinder worked directly under Spiders defensive coordinator Vic Shealy in 2009 with the secondary. He helped the Spiders finish the 2009 season with an 11-2 record, a Colonial Athletic Association title and a run to the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs.

Bookbinder worked as an undergraduate coach with his alma mater during the 2007 and 2008 seasons at Baylor, working specifically with the Bears' linebackers.
Are we back?

Nice! Here is to hoping we can live bot free.
