RICHMOND - Virginia Tech assistant football coach Galen Scott said he resigned following emails to school administrators and coaches revealing an extramarital affair he was involved with.

“I made a mistake, man,” Scott, who in January had been promoted to co-defensive coordinator, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Friday afternoon shortly after the university announced his resignation. “I made a mistake and hurt my family. I just have to make sure I can handle that.”

Scott said he met with Hokies coach Justin Fuente, a close friend of his, and discussed the situation. The two determined it would be best for Scott to resign and focus on his family, Scott said.

Oh man, I can’t even imagine the pit that formed in Coach Scott’s stomach when he started seeing these tweets come flooding in.

…Last week, an email sent to Virginia Tech and The Times-Dispatch accused Scott of having an ongoing extra-marital affair while traveling for job-related duties. A similar account to the email was published on a public Twitter account, @Diggy1973.

Responding to every. single. tweet from Virginia Tech affiliated Twitter accounts with hey FYI did you know this guy used his recruiting trips to fuck my wife? Tech mascot tweeting out a poll to vote on his new cartoon head, Diggy replying in 2 minutes “by the way your D coordinator used school funded trips to plow my soulmate.”

Scott has been co-defensive coordinator at Tech since 2016, when he followed Justin Fuente there. He was set to make $340K this year, after coming off two solid seasons at 10-4 and 9-4. Everything looking up and instead Scott is looking for work after Diggy1973 blew his life up for fucking his wife.

Karma comes for everyone.

Scott, in a statement sent Friday to multiple newspapers, acknowledged making “a mistake” and said he is stepping away from his position to spend time with his wife and two children. “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.” [ESPN]
