CBSSports- Virginia Tech co-defensive coordinator Galen Scott resigned from his position Friday after admitting that he used recruiting trips to pursue an extramarital affair. Scott, who has been at Virginia Tech the last two seasons, was just promoted to co-defensive coordinator this offseason. "I want to thank Coach [Justin] Fuente for the opportunity to serve on his staff both here at Virginia Tech and at Memphis," Scott said in a release via the school. "After much reflection and conversation, I felt now was the time to step away from football and focus on my family." Scott had recently come under fire following a report from the Richmond Times Dispatch. The paper obtained an email sent to administrators at Virginia Tech revealing Scott had used recruiting trips to maintain a romantic relationship -- one Scott admitted to in a statement to the Roanoke Times. "I made a mistake, and I have to take responsibility for that," Scott said. "I did some things that I want to apologize to my wife for and my family for, and I need to make sure I make that right by just being around for them and being the best father and person I can be." --------- That followed alllllllll of this... I'll tell you what, it takes a complete surrendering of any and all personal pride to jump on a long defunct twitter account that's devoted to the teenage son of one of the lead members of a legendary 80's rap group to do what the man behind @diggy1973 did. Anonymous or not, there's just very little shame in sitting down at a computer and tweeting about how your wife stepped out on you with a football coach to a range of people that included the Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor, Tremaine Edmunds, Terrell Edmunds, Brandon Flowers, DeAngelo Hall, the NFL Network, Virginia Tech, their President, its football program and almost all of their coaching staff, its basketball program, a bunch of media outlets, Adam Schefter, and - my personal favorite - an Adam Schefter parody account. Repeatedly describing, in a fair amount of detail, the affair that his wife partook in outside of their marriage is the work of someone who has abandoned his self-respect. That being said, it's also the work of someone who will stop at nothing to get revenge. For what that man lacks in dignity, he makes up in devotion. He made a vow with himself to get vengeance, and by forcing the resignation of a football coach who had just been promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator of a Power 5 school with tweet storm for the ages, he did just that. Let's be honest, it was going to take something a lot more embarrassing than some run-of-the-mill, mid-recruiting infidelity from one of their coaches for Virginia Tech to can a promising member of their staff. I'd say a barrage of public posts directed at almost every notable athletic alum fits that description. This poor cucked soul certainly didn't win his wife back with psychotic behavior that probably explains why she was sleeping around in the first place, but he did get his version of justice by castrating the career of the man who was plowing her. Considering everything he lost, it was a small victory but a victory nonetheless...
