I think you have to look deeper into what went wrong


Here's a good article: https://roanoke.com/sports/college/va_tech/how-former-virginia-tech-coach-justin-fuente-found-himself-to-be-a-man-on-an/article_65315516-47d7-11ec-83c3-5bbc12e0b080.html

The worst part is about Fuente's offensive coordinator, who somehow had better job security than the Pope. Braxton Burmeister was chewed out because he threw a positive yardage pass to the "wrong receiver". Whatever that actually means. No one was allowed to play football in our offense. They were expected to be robots controlled to the yard by the booth.

Fuente was specifically hired to modernize the VT offense. In Beamer's final years it was a travesty that was masked by Bud Foster being better than most of our competition. That never happened.

So he was falling behind in recruiting and the Xs and Os guru we thought we hired never panned out. He absolutely got enough time and it was absolutely time for him to go.
