Good luck to the guys who aren't retained. I think he needs to keep a guy on O either Stiney or burden who have Va recruiting ties but I'm sure he has his guys who know what they're doing.
I really hope he keeps the helmets we wore yesterday. Love them!
Make that 5 jobs open today. UVA, UGA, RUTGERS, TOLEDO, MEMPHIS
Yep, or at USCe. I think that following Smart would be good for Shane and he could thrive under his guidance.
He was as good for a VT fan as Tony Romo has been for a Redskins fan
You shouldn't blame ESPN. The media's job is to break stories. You should blame whoever leaked it.
This is, thus far, my second favorite thing in the coaching carousel world this year. Did they not think that, of all people, Les Miles wouldn't have a thing or two hidden under his hat for the last second? Silly admins.
That's the rumor.
Re Shane: as in, taking a job with Smart at UGA?
Welcome aboard, Coach Fuente! Time to buzz the tower, GO HOKIES!
On another note, I'm still pissed at espn for spilling the beans on that yesterday during the game.
Oh, I see. Never mind then.
Hell freakin yeah
Could not be happier
Shane is taking the Smart way out.
Wiles is staying, TG is likely staying. That's probably it.
Just a rumor at this point. I heard new uniforms, and a few minor font changes across the AD.
I'm guessing "along with everyone else" is the rest of the media is also saying Bud is retained. Everyone else = rest of media, not the rest of staff.
By far the best outcome we could of hoped for. Also heard no Shane maybe going with smart to uga or usce
Big weekend for Hokie Football fellas. I really really think we are gonna like this guy and he will get it done. Everything has fallen into place perfectly. Fantastic work Whit.
Yes, this Whit Babcock guy knows what he is doing. The future is bright, Hokie Nation
Also - Thank you Frank for not Bobby Bowdening us. It's not easy to give up something you've built your career, life and self-image around. From an outsider's view, Frank handled this like a pro, allowing our coaching change to be as smooth as possible.
Frank definitely needs/deserves his recognition but I hope Hokies everywhere embrace Fuente and give him their full support. I have already seen several people on different sites and social media outlets making statements like "he better be ready because he's got some big shoes to fill" or "I hope he's ready to meet our high expectations." While these statements may be true I hope we can make the Fuente family feel welcome and support them the same way we did/do the Beamer family.
Let's put this into perspective... We just hired arguably the top young name available while jobs like USCe/w, Miami, Georgia, are all open. Who would have thought that would be possible 3 years ago?
Perfect.
Yes, Whit executed the shit out of this.
And honestly, ESPN (per usual) was the last to "break" the news. It had been circulating for at least an hour on other notable sites before they reported it. I think it was a touch overdone during the broadcast, but they were running with an interesting story while the two teams on the field were having a puntfest.
