Some clarification on that reported demotion of Virginia Tech OC Bryan Stinespring: It’s not a demotion! Sort of! Mike O’Cain will call plays for the Hokies in 2011, a move that’s been attributed to the inexperience of freshly-hatched QB Logan Thomas. Stinespring is still listed on the team’s official website as offensive coordinator. SB Nation’s Gobbler Country asks what we’re thinking: Why?
Bryan Stinespring’s Demotion Not Actually A Demotion! Yay?
Well, first and foremost I bet this is related to salary. The OC is going to make more money than the QB coach, so keeping the offensive coordinator title would likely keep Stinespring at his current pay rate. There are plenty of schools out there that have a “running game coordinator” and “passing game coordinator.” Only one of them calls the plays. The title is completely related to how much they’re going to make.
