You could be forgiven for not noticing since the announcement was sort of thrown out there after the school issued an official statement on Rayshawn Goins&#8217; suspension. For Hal Mumme, they planned a press conference. For Mike O&#8217;Cain they bury it after addressing the fact that a starter on the basketball team has been suspended just days before the school&#8217;s first NCAA Tournament appearance in nearly two decades. Seems about right.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Cain is coming off a job as the QB Coach and play-caller for the not exactly dazzling Virginia Tech Hokie offense. Oh boy. He does bring 35 years of D1 coaching experience though. He definitely had his detractors among Hokie fans, but others seem to think <a href=\"http:\/\/firebryanstinespring.blogspot.com\/2013\/01\/mike-ocain-has-been-fired.html\">he&#8217;s a good, but not great coach, and a very good guy<\/a>.
