As we discussed in this space a week ago, Virginia Tech co-defensive line coach, Darryl Tapp, has officially moved on to the NFL.
While Tapp himself has yet to acknowledge the move on social media, Virginia Tech football’s Twitter account thanked Tapp and wished him well.
Even if we expected this move, it’s a tough blow. With so much of Virginia Tech’s fan base fractured over the current coaching staff and its inability to land top recruits — especially from the state of Virginia — Tapp was a breath of fresh air.
The former Virginia Tech All-American and 12-year NFL veteran was popular with fans, former players and recruits.
