Dennis Dodd - Fuente sitting on 2nd Hottest Seat in college football going into 2021

2021 Hot Seat Rankings: Nine college football coaches with their jobs on the line this season

Justin Fuente - 5 (Win or be Fired) - Fuente reportedly came perilously close to losing his job last season. AD Whit Babcock held a mid-December press conference to calm speculation. A program that had one sub-.500 season since 1992 suffered its second losing season in the last three. A four-game losing streak to close was interrupted by a win over Virginia in the finale. The defense has to get better right away. The unit under coordinator Justin Hamilton allowed more than 32 points per game, the most since 1973. Fuente was once one of the bright young coaching prospects. Now, he has split his last 42 decisions (21-21). Coming off the Hokies worst season (5-6) in 28 years, there isn't much ledge left for Fuente. 2020 rating: 2

We're probably going to see his name popping up on all these lists going into this upcoming season. Don't think its underselling it at all to say this is probably the most important season VT football has had in a while, and one in which we need to see immediate results within. I hope they're up to the task.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, No Horus eye
No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chain
Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
