Former Virginia Tech DEATHBACKER Cody Grimm will join the Hokies a defensive graduate assistant this season. Grimm was Tech's DEATHBACKER (the title for a supernatural whip linebacker coined affectionately by @furrer4heisman) from 2006-09.
BeamerBall.com announced the news and spoke with Grimm about his new appointment which begins summer session I. In that conversation, Grimm reminisced about his playing days at Tech and some of the fun he and teammates had with rover Dorian Porch.
BeamerBall.com: You really had a great relationship with your position coach, Jim Cavanaugh.
Cody Grimm: Cav was a good coach, and he lasted a long time, but I don't think I'll be as cranky as Cav. I loved playing for him. I make sure to stay in touch with him even today. I used to mess with him pretty good. But I made sure to do it only when we were winning. We'd pick at him and mess with his stuff, and we'd always blame everything on Dorian Porch. Poor Dorian, he took all the heat. I remember we always tried to mess with his Diet Coke. The guy was always drinking Diet Coke. One time, we slid about five electrolyte tablets in his Diet Coke can and it set him off. He's mad and screaming "What the ----?" We were all laughing. He's red in the face, wanting to know which one of us messed with his precious Diet Coke, and everybody in the room, all at the same time, just pointed at Dorian Porch. Good times. I wonder what Dorian is up to these days. We had a lot of fun with Cav.
BeamerBall.com: Are you going to incorporate any of his sayings into your coaching repertoire?
Cody Grimm: Not right out of the gate. I'll probably wait until I'm old and grumpy like him. He was always screaming the same things at us, "Pull your head out of your ---!" He was always screaming that we were going to kill him. He's get so worked up that we actually would worry that he was going to have a heart attack. We told Dorian that if Cav goes down, Dorian was going to have to give him mouth to mouth! It freaked Dorian out.
