According to the VT Fan board he is a big reason for the quality of players that picked VT. They are sad he is leaving.does anyone know if he's good at recruiting?
But for me, if Underwood likes him I like him.

I imagine this confirms he's coming on as a regular assistant rather than the Associate HC title he had at VT, right?
So you’re saying I should be warming up my F5 finger???Something newer than Frazier?
Nice catch. Safe to assume they're using the associate coach title as bait to land an even bigger fish.I imagine this confirms he's coming on as a regular assistant rather than the Associate HC title he had at VT, right?

Hope so. It sure was nice this got leaked to Goodman to blunt the official KY announcement.Nice catch. Safe to assume they're using the associate coach title as bait to land an even bigger fish.
More than fills Chin's shoes. Read back a bit in the thread. Chet is a highly respected assistant.What has Chester Frazier done or what is he known for at this moment in coaching other than being an alum? Maybe we want to work that area? But man, I have to say that this is looks like a step down from either of the two coaches we lost.
He's one of the few alums out there who has actual legit credentials. Maybe not quite Roger level (yet) but he is a respected up and comer in coaching circles. If we can land a big name to replace OA I think we'll be at least as well off as we were before.What has Chester Frazier done or what is he known for at this moment in coaching other than being an alum?

I'm a little late to the party, but alright, alright, alright! Love this hire! Welcome home Coach Frazier!
Some folks just don’t bother to read or do any research and just talk...What has Chester Frazier done or what is he known for at this moment in coaching other than being an alum?

That seems to be the indication. Hopefully word gets out soon so I can do something with my life. lolSomething newer than Frazier?
Epitome of an everyday guy, to boot. Think the work ethic is gonna be pegged at 11.One thing worth noting is Chester seriously loves Illinois. I'd see him tweeting about players on our roster (e.g. Ayo, Curbelo, Trent, etc) all the time while he was an assistant coach at VT. He doesn't hide his orange and blue pride. Now he can put it out on full display.
Some interesting perspectives there as well. I realize I'm biased, but a lateral move? Really?Nice to hear them talk about his recruiting abilities. Kinda funny that they think we are not going to be very good this year.
You should really be the only person allowed to use this here

Watching the sidelines on timeouts last year, it seemed like the assistant coaches were heavily involved in coaching. Also, they were often credited for player development. I can't imagine the Underwood would show Frazier or any other coach less respect. I realize the title associate and assistant are different tiers, but I have to believe that Frazier is walking into a good situation, both in pay, and in experience, leading to a head coaching job in the future.I imagine this confirms he's coming on as a regular assistant rather than the Associate HC title he had at VT, right?
