You forgot the key dis-qualifier: he played football at, graduated from, and coached at, WVU. Only thing worse would be hiring a UVA alum. (see Stokes, Ricky)

RichRod is polarizing and Fuente is the enigmatic "under-the-radar-name-everyone's-heard-about" and they both get clicks and comments which equals a successful story to most writers/editors. Simple as that.

And yes, this is going to probably cycle through many of the candidates the longer our search lasts.

I'd love to get a coaching staff that is good at everything just like you are saying. However, I am not willing to accept as fact that Fuente is ONLY a great fit for VT IF we can get stud recruiters. I think he can be really good based upon his own skill sets. With stud recruiters around him he could be great. I'd love to win an NC, but I think that goal may take longer than we would all hope. Being the number 2 job does not mean we are the number 2 with respect to opportunity to win a NC. The fact is with the recruits available in their backyard, and a weak Coastal, that potential would go to Miami. Many calling it the number 2 job are factoring in everything, facilities, our rational, realistic, and supportive fan base, pay, talent, culture, AD, job security, etc. If a coach is talented, cares a ton about winning a NC (more so than pay, or at least immediate pay), and thinks he can have a fair shake at recruiting well in FL, then Miami is a better job.

What happened to the Cutcliffe hype?

I think the incentive program will help out with this some, but there are always going to be those students that just grab a lottery ticket, scan it, and then leave without ever even attending the games, just so they can gather as many points as possible. I agree with your point tho, and coming from a guy who loves watching basketball, it is definitely disappointing at times. Especially the fact that most students I know have little to no work due this week right before Thanksgiving break.

I feel like he'd be more interested in the VT WARE lab than the football team, honestly.

I feel bad for that D3 school.

Man, it's a good thing he's wearing that camo hat. Otherwise, he'd be ridiculously easy to spot.

Somebody has been on Reddit lately

M. Brewer is a class act just like Beamer, Most would say i am nuts due to his short tenure at Tech, But Brewer is a great example to what Va tech Football is all about. For those who have played the sport or have knowledge of what its like to coach the sport at any level,, its very rare you run into people like Frank or Brewer who "Get it" and despite negative input,,, project positive energy. Dudes a MAN ...

Yes.
