This week we're taking a dive into where the chips fell with the shuffling of the offensive and defensive staff this off season. We also examine the roster updates for 2025, some of our early takeaways from Spring practice, and put a bow on winter sports.

This week we welcome The Key Play writer and analyst Jonathan French. We look at his initial thoughts and feelings around the Sam Siefkes hire and how he's feeling now after doing a month-long dive into the tape. We also look at where the potential pitfalls may be with a defensive scheme shift at this stage of the Brent Pry era.

The Hokies took much less time turning around their offensive coordinator hire, securing former Auburn Offensive Coordinator and Tulsa Head Coach Philip Montgomery to take over the reins from the departing Tyler Bowen. We diagnose which boxes this hire checks and what we can expect from a Montgomery led offense as Spring practice looms around the corner.

Our long national nightmare is over. After over 7 weeks Hokie Nation breathes a sigh of relief with the announcement of Sam Siefkes as defensive coordinator for the Hokies. We dive deep into the process of the hire, what we know about Sam Siefkes, and what this means for the Hokies defense in 2025 and beyond. We wrap up by giving a blow by blow of the Hokies 2025 schedule.

The Hokies struggled on offense, particularly upfront, against a veteran Minnesota team and ultimately fell 24-10 in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. We recap a game that was at times tough to watch due to the disparity along the offensive line. We also discuss Mike Vick's CFB Hall of Fame selection, the portal victories and what's left to do, and the staff vacancies that frustratingly have lasted a month at this point. We also pick one final Big Screener of the College Football season.

Explicit language warning for a tradition unlike any other....Boundary Corner Podcast's State of the Program. This year we're resetting expectations after a disappointing regular season for the Hokies that sent three coaches packing. We're joined by Dr. Lord Jeremy Counts, Dan Pultz, Chris Lester, and more as we unpack the 2024 season and recalibrate what 2025 could look like if the right buttons are pressed over the coming months. We also consume way more alcohol than you should while streaming live.

Brent Pry and Co. made some tough decisions and decided to move on from DC Chris Marve, OL Coach Ron Crook, and S&C Coach Dwight Galt IV. The losses to the transfer portal and eligibility have run deep and so far the Hokies have done little to stop the bleeding. Retaining both Pop Watson and Kyron Drones was a good start but is it time to panic about the state of this roster and coaching staff? As always we make our Big Screeners picks, CFP First Round edition.

The Hokies bounced back from a rough November with a dominant win against the Cavaliers in the regular season finale. Pop Watson looked poised and the usual suspects of APR and Tuten were elite. The Hokies now await their bowl opponent as we roll into Championship Week. This week's Big Screeners we're picking winners for each Conference Title game.

The Hokies hobbled out of Durham worse than they hobbled in after suffering a 31-28 loss that put another signal caller on the shelf. Pop Watson played as well as could be expected but VT was doomed by leaky OL play and a defense that gave up too many big plays. In a familiar sight for anyone who has watched this team the last decade plus the Hokies must now retain the Commonwealth Cup if they hope to extend their season with a bowl bid. Buckle up...this one could get ugly.

The Hokies come off a bye licking their wounds after suffering back to back losses, including an embarrassing offensive effort against Clemson. We welcome on our friend Ben Byrd at Bull City Coordinators to preview what we can expect the Blue Devils to bring to the table in Durham on Saturday. We then take a look at the College Football Playoff Picture before making our Big Screeners picks of the week.
