Assistant coach Blake Seiler accepts defensive coordinator position at ODU

Neal Brown and West Virginia are in the mix for a second new assistant coach.

Inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Blake Seiler has accepted the defensive coordinator position at Old Dominion.

The website footballscoop.com first reported Seiler’s departure from West Virginia.

Seiler spent 10 years coaching at Kansas State and was the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator in 2018.

West Virginia’s special teams were vastly improved under Seiler’s watch. The Mountaineers were 10th nationally and No.
