Staff has to go. I'm not even mad. Just terrible terrible job
incompetence thy color is maroon
I try to keep a level head about this... Why try to freeze a kicker with a nearly impossible distance to kick?
I'm sorry, if Hamilton is that dumb he should be fired immediately
Fire Fuente.. His coaching staff just made about five or six peewee level mistakes in a row to finish the game
At this point, I'm not even mad but just sad that this was expected.
It's time for Fuente to go. I've been trying to be optimistic with him, but this game was so horrible on the coaches and I've said that so often over the last 5 years
That's on the coaches what a shamble. Out of a timeout they pull that shit what awful coaching.
Out coached by Liberty. Out coached by LIBERTY! 4 and 6 with 4 DBs back and not realizing they can pick a first down.
Ouch - Hamilton whew. so bad
That is a blatant coaching failure. Whit has got to wake up. This is absolutely pathetic. Fuente is the leader of a program that is completely out-prepared and outmatched.
Tech doesn't win a game the rest of the year. Fucking dumpster fire.
What is worse:
Losing this
Losing this game the way we lost it
Listening to 1970s disco (Burn, baby burn, disco inferno)
Knowing that we are probably stuck with this clown of a coaching staff for probably at least 2 more seasons
With our recruiting and a lame duck coach (why would a recruit come here), I can see us as being one of the worst teams in the country in a couple of years by the time we can get rid of him.
Fuente needs to be cleaning out his office tonight
Fuck this shit
This program is Rigor Mortis and Justin Fuente is its Pallbearer
Who tries to freeze a college kicker on a 59 yd attempt? What are these coaches thinking? Shove off to Baylor already.
Outcoached is hitting the nail on the head.
We didn't deserve to win this game. We sucked. The defense is abysmal. The preparation is abysmal. We are horrible. Done
No talent advantage. Outcoached and outplayed in the trenches. Liberty!! Whit- please get out the checkbook and be done with this dumpster fire. The patience and this failed chapter must end, now. What an embarrassment. The lowest of lows.
Liberty isn't for real......VT is for UNREAL you silly announcers
Fire Everyone
Now we can fire Fuente
Icing the kicker on an impossible field goal is the dumbest decision I've ever seen.
well that's 2020 for you!
He iced a kicker on a 59 yard field goal. They need to take his key card before he gets off the field.
Ok.... Thats it... I'm DONE!
"This goes right there with ODU. One of the darkest days in VT football history."
- Laser on the post game
Who is the common denominator here?
BURN IT THE FUCK DOWN!!!
I LOL'ed but seriously tho
Recruits don't seem to want to come here not because of winning but we don't developed as well as we used to and are play calling is questionable at best and our pitches are the same thing. How many times have we seen "yes they just told me I can help push this program" "they really need me on their team" "we're building something special" tbh I'm convinced we aren't necessarily developing our draft picks as opposed to them just being completely over looked talent. Getting an offer from tech really is just a flex and a placeholder I'm until the bug digs come. We are a rebound school
#MakeTheMove
whit needs to be in front of the locker room right now with fuentes pink slip
I don't know why you freeze a 60yd fg.... that was a horrible decision.... You talk about multiple swings of emotion over the last 5 minutes....
I can't believe I thought we won that for about 30 seconds.
I mean we absolutely refused the win.
Icing a kicker on 59 yards isn't a thing
Virginia Tech football has entered a new low. Worse damn team in Virginia, un-fucking-believable
Like Fuente my dude ... NFL kickers don't even reliably make 59 yarders. What in the world are you thinking when you ice this guy??
Worst coaching jobs I have EVER seen WTF
People didn't know how much further it can go down - we are now going WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down.
Where are my Fuente truthers at?
Proud we found a new and inventive way to get clowned and lose. Invent the future.
Wait wait...BLAME THE REFS!!!!
Fuente needs 14 more years to get his system and players in place.
Its not his fault. Nope.
Out coached. Again. I'm done.
not one damn dollar will go to this team. no excuses left
Fire Fuente, no asterisk
Well look who got out coached.....
Again..........
Is this one on Corny? Hello? Bueller....
Corny is fine.
We have zilch on D
Time for a total makeover not because Fuente can't coach, but because he can't get good enough players in the program.
Corny is shit.
I hope we can keep Tapp on staff if they decide to clean house
If this is not proof that we made the wrong hire on Fuente and his entire staff, then we need to start with board of directors and replace every single one of them and bring in some new blood. This was possibly the most idiotic move I have ever seen by a coach who is paid WAY TOO MUCH.
Yep, that's it. I was probably one of the last ones to believe that Fuente can build a great program here, but it's over now.
Fire Justin Fuente. We need a new coaching staff. That was so embarassing.
Now I have to go to the office and prepare the property for a November tropical fucking storm, in the rain, after watching this
fiascotravestyhorrorfully expected bullshit game with Fuente at the helm.It's time.... just wow
If Whit can't make the right call, then he can go too.
NFL coaches wouldn't even try to ice a guy like Prater or Zuerlein on a 59 yarder. Let alone a college kid with a career long of 42.
I'm not gonna burn the site down. The one thing that actually effects my lives and those of my children worked out just fine today. But I can't imagine there are going to be any happy Hokie fans for a good long while.
FIRE FUENTE
Please tell me how to drive away from 25.
Fuck this shit
Thats it for me. Fuente and corny are not the guys for us. They continue to disappiont at every turn. Unexcusable.
Historical fact request - Is Fuente the first coach in college/NFL history to try to ice a 55+ yard field goal?
I have never seen such incredibly ignorant coaching in a game, ever. Wow! How idiotic are we?
The chance of making a 59 yard field goal is infinitely less than picking up a 1st down against our defense. Why give them an opportunity to rethink that decision?
And when your defense gives a 20 yard cushion when they only needed 6 ...
Fuente has let down his team and fans with a dunderhead TO call. We need new coaches.
The worst part about this is Fuente will get a couple more wins this season and he will be given another year again and again to be consistently inconsistent. A middle of the pack Virginia Football team...
Fuente must take ALL the blame for this loss. If he mentions "lack of execution", my head will explode.
Hugh Freeze was completely bailed out by Fuente for thinking he could not get a sideline pass on the VT defense with 0:08 left. A timeout let him come to his senses
Let's just assume we didn't block the kick and he missed the 59 yrd impossible kick. Wouldn't that timeout be useful to move the ball down the field and try a winning fg? That timeout call was the biggest coaching error I've seen since timecop
Correct
There is no way that TO call would have been correct in any circumstance.
Even in the very low chance he makes it, it would have still been at least somewhat useful in theory
