Virginia Tech announced Brian Mitchell will join the Hokies' defensive staff as its cornerbacks coach.
"Brian will be a great fit with Coach [Bud] Foster and the rest of our coaching staff on the field and on the recruiting trail," head coach Justin Fuente said in a release. "He brings a wealth of experience to this role at Virginia Tech, as both a coach and a player. We're excited to have our coaching staff finalized as we continue our preparations for spring football."
Fuente also clarified the roles of his defensive staff:
- Bud Foster – Associate head coach/defensive coordinator/linebackers
- Galen Scott – Assistant head coach/safeties
- Charley Wiles – Defensive line
- Brian Mitchell – Cornerbacks
Mitchell served as cornerbacks coach for the past three seasons at West Virginia. He was defensive coordinator and secondary coach at East Carolina from 2010-12.
Ruffin McNeill — Mitchell's former boss at ECU and now Virginia assistant — was quite complimentary of Tech's hire.
