Keep an eye on Scot Loeffler

Current Virginia Tech offensive coordinator. He runs a pro style offense and isn't likely to retained on Justin Fuente's staff. He's been a QB coach at Michigan, Florida and in the NFL. He's been an offensive coordinator at Auburn. That was a total disaster but some attribute it to running a pro style offense with players recruited for Malzahn's spread. Also, he played QB at Michigan while Miles was the O-line coach. He was also linked to the LSU OC job in 2011 prior to Kragthorpe being hired.

n this formation, the Hokies have both tight ends flexed out to the boundary with the fullback, Rogers, replacing their tailbacks and offset Brewer. They can run jet sweeps by sending a receiver like Deon Newsome behind the fullback and tight ends, or they can have a solid, six-man protection scheme while sending four receivers into patterns.

Here's an empty set with a tight end split wide. Malleck has become deadly running routes over the middle, and Hodges shows great potential as well

Here is modern college football's favorite formation, a pistol or shotgun alignment with an H-back who can be a lead blocker or run a passing pattern.

This would be a very Miles-esque hire. Fairly underwhelming and not much fanfare.

PROS: Runs a modern pro style set with some spread looks. Lots of shotgun. off set backs, use of a fullback beyond a lead blocker role, heavy use of two TEs, spreading the ball around to multiple receivers.

Tech's top 5 leading receivers in 2015:
WR: 937
WR: 549
TE: 492
TE: 277
FB: 170

CONS: Despite the use of some offensive sets we're desperate to see at LSU, he's never had a particularly good offense.

Total offense:
2015 Virginia Tech 93rd
2014 Virginia Tech 86th
2013 Virginia Tech 91st
2012 Auburn 117th
2011 Temple 56th
