I think he is the best option if Fisher and Herman fall through.

Tremendous success as OC at TCU. Did a phenomenal Job at Memphis. Now has VT rolling and they demolished Fedora when they played this season.

I know he's only ben at VT one season and it wouldn't look good to leave but why not if LSU came calling?

It'd be unheard of for a coach to leave a P5 team after one year. He's who I wanted last year above everyone else. Too bad the admin fricked the whole thing up.

Only a douchebag would bolt after 1 year at a major program. Its not like VT is some stepping stone MAC school.

Fuente would be one of the best hires. But he's only been at VTech a year.

This is most likely the issue.

Buyout
Fuente terminates the contract (I.E. if he leaves for another school) he will owe Virginia Tech the following amount…

Before December 15, 2016: $7,000,000
Before December 15, 2017: $6,000,000
Before December 15, 2018: $5,000,000

I was thinking the same thing. He turned around a traditionally horrendous Memphis program in a few years. I am still all in on Herman but he would be in my top 3.

He has only been at VT for one damn year.

I played for Fuente - he is not the type of ego driven jerk who will bail out after one year.

Because he hasn't even completed one season at Virginia Tech, which, by the way, isn't some punk school. Va tech is a great school.
