Teel on Fuente and Baylor

David Teel nails it.

Whether or not Fuente lands at Baylor, this has been and will remain painfully awkward for many parties.

For example, if Fuente stays with the Hokies, how badly will this dalliance fray his credibility with players, staff, fans and his bosses, namely athletic director Whit Babcock and university president Tim Sands?

If he goes to Baylor, what of the assistant coaches he just hired, Darryl Tapp, Tracy Claeys, Bill Teerlinck and Smith? What of the recruits who signed with Virginia Tech last month?

Might Fuente be frustrated with what he perceives as inadequate staff salaries? Might he be swayed by Baylor's plans to construct a football operations center to complement the new stadium it opened in 2014?

Sure, but his timing, to be kind, is suboptimal, and Babcock has every reason to be frosted.
