LOL!! Now you merge the threads and make me look foolish

Although I'm sure I could do that myself

Happy with this hire.

I need a few more threads on the subject before I believe it.

Smart hire if it happens. One of the coaches I wanted Nebraska to hire last year.

Thank you Shawn Eichoke.

Unfortunately its against NCAA rules for Fuente to sub in and finish coaching this god awful UVA game.

Little surprised Fuentes signed this early. LSU and USC looking. Georgia rumors picking up. I have to believe he might have at least been a back up option. Anyway, congrats to VT. I thought he was the best option out of all the young coaching candidates

already stated he didn't want an SEC job.

I saw hearsay, but never a real quote of this.

i thought it was insinuated from an article someone posted on him from awhile back, but i don't think i ever read the article come to think of it. My B if that wasn't accurate. I thought he insinuated that he didn't like some of the recruiting practices prevalent in the SEC and that he would prefer not to deal with that anymore than he has to.

Very happy with the hire and keeping Foster is just icing on the cake. Thought Fuente was definitely one of the top guys out there

 

[Cobrabit]

Really excited about the future!

I agree. I think Herman and Fuente were the top 2 guys we had on our list and that we ended up with the better of the 2 from VT's perspective over the long run. If Fuente goes out and gets some good assistants who can recruit i will be 100% content.

I think another compelling option out there is Dino Babers at Bowling Green and think Mizzou should take a hard look at him.

Heck no!

Apparently Fuente is upset at VT because he had not told anyone about the VT job.
