Dear lord, no
Offensively, overhaul dis bitch. It's broken in a bad way and we don't need or want any of the previous stink lingering. Fresh start is exactly what we need.
I think Hack is as good as gone
Yes, Dickey is the interim HC.
All this coaching news, I need a timeout!!!!
I think Motley played a lot better than the coaches thought he would, was he great? No... He made his mistake that drove us crazy but he also did a lot of thing good that we didn't expect. So to answer you question, I think the coaches thought they were going to have to play Lawson later in the season, but Motley played better than anticipated and then Brewer came back from injury.
Me personally, I would have liked to see him get more PT than he really did since the redshirt was burned during the OSU game, but it is what it is. I think it's his job to lose next year IMO
Someone said Cornelsen was coming to VT. Was Dickey the one that was going to be interim?
Slept at a Holiday Inn Express did you...fake punts, they'll get after ya!
I've been reading your posts for a long time, & I believe you suggested just that on more than one occasion...
And he's 56, needs to get started now. I honestly don't see him staying on the staff for next year, but maybe Whit has worked some magic who knows

But in all seriousness I'm really excited about this hire. I think Whit really nailed this one. Fuente seems like a great fit and I'm pretty excited to see what he can do in Blacksburg. I'm also really excited that Whit/Fuente figured out a way to retain Bud. That's pretty critical. I never thought Bud would stick around but I'm really glad he is. Everyone here knows just how good he is at what he does.
I heard that the co-OC, which I would assume is the other OC is going to take over HC, at least in the interim. If that is the case, not sure we have an OC coming along with Fuente.
I logged in just to give you a turkey leg for this comment.
I hope they get Randy Edsall. I hear he's available.
Well he better go straight out to the recruiting trail. Wolfolk has flipped to UNC and Deablo is probably soon to follow (heard he was getting an earful from Logan Byrd at the State game). If Searls isn't retained then we probably lose Kearns, maybe another lineman, but who knows maybe with Fuente we have a shot at Dickerson.
Doubtful, Darrell Dickey the co-offensive coordinator is their RB coach and has been one for years (decades?)
Edit to add: Assuming he comes.
Great question.
It sure didn't go the way I thought it was going to go.
I just assumed they had a plan. Silly me.
Keeping Shane for his recruiting isn't a bad move. I just don't know where you put him as a coach. It sounds like Fuente will be bringing his own offensive staff, and ST coach.
UVA thinks Richt will be their new coach....
No kidding.
Need some help over here.
HOLY COW, turned down 12 other opportunities... as in didn't even talk to them. Fuente gets how great of a job and opportunity VT is. Even though he didn't say it I think he really feels like he can do something special here especially with Bud's defense having his back.
Still a cool name.

# | Justin Fuente Officially Named as Hokies' New Head Coach Bud will be retained until he finds an opportunity worth leaving for. I don't believe he has lost his drive to be a head coach.
In Fuente we trust.
If Whit likes him, I like him.
If Fuente wants to keep Loeffler as QB coach, I'm good with it. At the appropriate pay, of course.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm also OK if he cleans house. His call.
According to coachingsearch.com......
"Virginia Tech: Memphis wide receivers coach Holman Wiggins and tight ends coach / special teams coordinator James Shibest will follow Justin Fuente to Virginia Tech, according to Rivals.com's Memphis site."
