LINK ]Virginia Tech announces head football coaching change

quote:

BLACKSBURG – Director of Athletics Whit Babcock announced on Tuesday that Virginia Tech and head football coach Justin Fuente have mutually agreed to part ways. Babcock indicated that a national search is underway to fill the position. J.C. Price will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2021 season.

"We sincerely appreciate the contributions that Coach Fuente made to our football program and the positive impact he made on our student-athletes during his time at Virginia Tech," Babcock said. "While it is never easy to make a change, I believe in order for our football program to attain the type of sustained success that is expected at Virginia Tech, the time was right for new leadership of our football program.

I remember when his name was floated as a candidate here (years back, obviously).

Apparently there were some boosters or BOS members who were very high on him. He might have become our coach in 2017 had Orgeron not been hired.

He's a good coach but he couldn't recruit worth a shite.

I'd take him as an OC

I definitely have to eat crow for him. I remember thinking he'd make Virginia Tech an annual 10 game winner and challenger in the ACC. I guess VATech died when Beamer left. He pretty much was that program.

Crazy how he and frost were can’t miss head coaching prospects. Hiring a coach is basically a roll of the dice
