Who says you can’t come home again? It was a tough blow for the Hokies' head coach when Virginia Tech coach Mike Young lost his top assistant coach, Chester Frazier, after the 2020-21 season. While Young replaced Frazier with Mike Jones, the impact was never the same. And Jones left after two seasons to take a similar role on Maryland’s staff.
On Tuesday, Virginia Tech announced it had hired Frazier as associate head coach. When Frazier departed Blacksburg in 2021, it was to go to his alma mater, Illinois, as an assistant, where he spent the next three seasons.
