Fuente to Viginia Tech looks likely

[sbsmith]

Va. Tech may rethink hiring Fuente if he loses to us this weekend. And me thinks CM isn't going anywhere or interviewing with anyone anytime soon. This is where he wants to be and live as he stated when we hired him. Let's take him for his word.

Yeah because coaches never change their minds or anything.

Chad may have had a really good job for 2016 had he waited around as the Clemson OC in 2015. So many big-time openings for 2016.

He is one guy I take for his word.

Not that he would take it but he interviewed for Syracuse.

No, he didnt

Not that he would take it but he interviewed for Syracuse.

The Syracuse coach was fired Monday 11/23. Today is Tuesday 11/24. Take any suggestion that anyone has already interviewed with plenty of grains of salt.

LOL @ Rebel10

It was on Twitter.

On a side note, Herman's agent Trace Armstrong said on ESPN yesterday that it might be beneficial for Herman to wait until a better job comes along.

Fuente is as good as gone.

that's about as close as you can get to saying "yes I am gone..."

Fuente last night:

"Memphis football coach Justin Fuerte responds to a Yahoo sports column linking him with the soon-to-be-vacant Virginia Tech job replacing Frank Beamer. He tells the Fox affiliate in Memphis "...if there's something that comes along and there's mutual interest, then we'll have those discussions." He went on to say his focus and the team's should be their upcoming game with SMU."

Certainly wouldn't characterize that as a denial.

Sounds almost exactly what Chad said last year when asked about SMU. "Right now I'm focused on beating South Carolina"

That is why I think we have chance to beat them because of this type of distraction that is going on now.
