I thought we could have one thread that discussed and announced new coaches across the landscape. That said, it's being reported that Justin Fuente, from Memphis, is the new coach at Va. Tech.

Wow...he would've been a very hot name for a lot of jobs. Va Tech? Meh.

Lol what the heck?@JWernerScout: #illini AD Paul Kowalczyk on 2-year deal: "It's not ideal but for now, I don't think it'll put a dagger in the heart of the program."

They hired the guy today.

VT should have waited on Les or Richt. Bud Foster would have been a no brainer there if he wasn't a boozer.

Fuente is going to be the hottest name available this year. I have no clue why he would go to Vatech.

Confusing. Like Mullen going to Cowbell, it makes me think there is something about Fuente that makes him less attractive than we would think.

I wonder if some coaches like the challenge. Also, some might find jobs that will give more breathing room, attractive. A job like LSU, for example, is probably going to want immediate results, or at least within 2-3 years.
Va Tech, on the other hand, he may get 5 years or better to make it happen.

A good coach can do it just about anywhere. Not that what you're saying here has anything to do with what I just said.

Fwiw Paxton Lynch was a 2* QB committed to the Gators who left the class when we took Morningwheg as a favor to his dad. #buzzkillington
