I'm guessing this was not the press conference he planned on giving when it was scheduled. Look at his body language, even he looks defeated.

lol...justifying that if you make a change and it doesn't work, it'll set us back...uh...yeah, look where we are.
"Fans don't understand a complete rebuild".....it's year 5 and we're the worst we've been in 30 years!
Babcock: "What we have not done a good job doing is dehumanizing [OC] Brad Cornelsen." Says Cornelsen will be available to media tomorrow. #Hokies— David Teel (@ByDavidTeel) December 15, 2020

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season The only pass i see for Whit is if all the dominoes were set, presser scheduled,, the only thing left to do was make it official, then Elliot (or whoever) backed out at the 11th hour, and Whit's hands were tied.
Also, them coming out today and saying we are retaining him next doesn't officially mean we are retaining him. Today isn't the deadline to fire and hire a coach. I'm confident there will still be some phone calls happening (I hope there will be at least)
See gif above ^
This, to me, is why Fuente will never be the right fit at VT.
EDIT: Just want to be clear, this isn't some dated, out of context quote. This was right after Saturday's win against UVA.

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season Follow me down the rabbit hole...Plan A is still in place. We all know Whit doesn't like news to break on a new coach before it's official, so to throw us all off, he puts out that Fuente is staying. But at the presser at 1 he'll come out and be all "Psych! got you good you bitches! Fuente is gone, here's our new coach, Tony Elliot!"
That or maybe...
...We just got Beamered.
i will be signing tomorrow with @HokiesFB 🥳— 5️⃣ (@christianmoss_) December 15, 2020

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season Right, so the prospects that we find as a "suitable" replacement, would rather stay at their P5 coordinator, or G5 HC job than come to VT...if it is from a money standpoint...well...I assume you're not getting a whole lot of new donations by putting out a declining product every successive year that he's been here.

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season Whit couldn't get the money to lure a suitable replacement to come to VT
- Fuente has driven the VT name so far down that no suitable replacement wants to leave their P5 coordinator position or G5 head coach job to take the VT head whistle

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season The part that is going to really suck for a while is gonna be watching the teams that hired Elliot and Fickell turn around and start excelling in the next 5 years. Meanwhile we'll be exactly where we are today

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season Hear me out here guys....Whit is playing chess while we're all playing with pogs. Whit has homerun hire lined up...but he is nervous...so he tells Fuente, "we good", let's a leak out that we're retaining him, just to see fan/donor reaction....but really, no decision has been made yet.
Tomorrow morning, Whit will read all of TKP, fire Fuente, and announce that Urban Meyer will be the next HC at VT

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season No shame...after the year we've had, its a lot to take in that "yeah, this is the direction we want to go"

# | McMurphy: Justin Fuente remaining head coach for 2021 Season I didn't think the s/ would be necessary on my post
No, the presser was scheduled to introduce the new coach. Fu woulda been fired this morning, IMO if things had gone to plan
