re: Justin Fuente Out at VT

I knew Fuente was was bad recruiter, but I had no idea how much he killed VA Tech as a program in just a few years.

Vatech is gonna take some rebuild elbow grease. Inherited a top 25 recruiter left it in the mid 40 with a bottom 25 offense. That doesn't turn fast. Patience VT fans, Patience

His gigantic buyout is why the VA Tech admin didn't fire him sooner, but, by holding onto him for this extra couple of years, he probably did more damage to the program than had they just bit the bullet and fired him early.

There's an addahe that however long it took a program to decline, that's how long it will take to rebuild it. That's obviously not the case everywhere, but VA Tech is going to be tough to get back to where they were just 10 years ago.
