What's this?

That would have gone over well...

I'm not against replacing Fu with the right guy, very likely needed. With some results caveats from the remaining games (which I am less than confidant of) and staff changes, wouldn't get real bent out of shape about keeping him either - if the right guy can't be found.

But if he had called timeout then, and the play turned out the way it did, he would have been crucified for giving them time to set it up. Yeah, I know, the timeout is supposed to prevent that from happening, I'm not confidant of that either.

You don't have to see rainbows and unicorns where there aren't any, but people taking the exact opposite stance, regardless of the decision, gets just as old.

Fuente disappointed that players didn't check into coverage -- One4VT 10/26/2021 11:33AM

I remember fans upset that Beamer wouldn't call players out -- Go VT 10/26/2021 6:05PM

Me too - if only there was someone who could have made them ** -- bigbadbird 10/26/2021 1:22PM

That's an interesting shift away from always claiming responsibility. ** -- Lane2020 10/26/2021 12:26PM

Pretty sure we had timeouts left -- OrlandoHokie 10/26/2021 12:23PM

Really bad time to call a timeout per 100% of football peeps ** -- fordham 10/26/2021 1:21PM

That would have gone over well... -- RTFC 10/26/2021 1:00PM

If he had called t/o and thrown a fit at the secondary.. -- capitals1 10/26/2021 3:40PM

A strong maybe, ...but everyone on here would have already known that...;) ** -- RTFC 10/26/2021 3:53PM

If he calls TO to get the coverage right, a deep TD doesn't happen... -- BROman Hokie 10/26/2021 1:21PM

Hindsight is 20/20 ** -- fordham 10/26/2021 1:23PM

It was a clear boneheaded coverage call at the time, no hindsight needed... -- BROman Hokie 10/26/2021 2:27PM

LOL ** -- RTFC 10/26/2021 3:23PM

Works both ways to be fair. Also applies to Fuente's assessment ** -- One4VT 10/26/2021 1:50PM

Throw players under the bus, yeah that works ** -- Technocrat 10/26/2021 12:22PM

When a unit fails, its obvious. no harm in acknowledging it! ** -- MDHokie79 10/26/2021 6:21PM

Players do mess up. Pointing it out is not throwing them under the bus ** -- fordham 10/26/2021 1:22PM

You point it out in the locker room not on a radio show. ** -- OrlandoHokie 10/26/2021 4:19PM

It is when you've done a crap job preparing and recruiting the team ** -- Technocrat 10/26/2021 1:25PM

It was a team loss. Coaches and players -- GCHokieof91 10/26/2021 1:40PM

So is it JF fault if our linebacker play… -- DCL 10/26/2021 2:48PM

It's one of two things, a coaching issue or player development issue ** -- Technocrat 10/26/2021 4:13PM

By this logic, the best-coached players never make a mistake. Sorry, -- dj97223 10/26/2021 6:26PM

Yes the next guy will be perfect. The team was prepared -- fordham 10/26/2021 1:34PM
