Nobody with a brain thinks he's being fired solely for losing 3 in a row.

One coach gets an upgrade because he took a talentess gutter program into the top 20 with a 10 win season and wins over big programs they've never beaten before.

The other coach the fanbase wants him gone because he took at top 5 talented team and gets blown out by much less talented teams, and he gets worse every year despite every advantage in the world available to him.

Stating facts.

I don't see anything from Forde. The only thing I have seen is a report from 247's insider website, which I don't have access to.

This isn't an official move, at least not yet.

You want to replace one coach with 3 straight losses with another coach that has 3 straight losses. Nobody is disagreeing that memphis was a dumpster fire.

A. I don't want Fuente.

B. Its about perspective. One program is trending down and expects more because of built in advantages. One program is trending up and expects less because of no built in advantages.

This is just speculation by Forde FWIW. Though I think there is a lot of smoke.

You say that as if there's a point in it.

Coached up Andy Dalton, Casey Pachall his one good year and Paxton Lynch. He is perfect for Virginia Tech and their anemic offense.

Would have gladly taken him as 5th/6th option at LSU.

Yahoo Sports

Virginia Tech (9) – Leaving: Frank Beamer. Arriving: The Dash is betting the mortgage on Memphis coach Justin Fuente, and betting that it happens quickly next week. Word is that athletic director Whit Babcock has his man, and has for a while now, and Fuente is that man. He’s done a remarkable job at previously moribund Memphis, going 18-6 over the past two seasons. It’s possible that tumbling dominoes at LSU and points elsewhere (namely Florida State) unspring this, but unlikely. A Fuente hiring would also keep Rich Rodriguez in place at Arizona.

Per the VT insiders, contract is finalized and that press release tomorrow with press conference on Monday.

Seems Bud Foster and most of the defensive staff is staying barring a miracle of him getting the Illinois job.
