As is common knowledge for Virginia Tech fans by now, there is plenty of smoke surrounding the rumors of Justin Fuente and the open Baylor head coaching job. The discussion was kicked off last night when Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports first Tweeted the news…

The news was quickly confirmed by Will Stewart, and Andy Bitter chimed in this morning after confirming it with a pair of sources.
Earlier this afternoon, Dan Wolken of USA Today had this to say…

That’s all we know at this point. If you’re a TSL Pass subscriber, you can read two pieces of inside info from Will Stewart on our message boards, here and here.
The ongoing situation will alter TechSideline.com’s short-term content plans in a couple of ways. First of all, any Jason Stamm interviews with potential football recruits will be put on hold until the Fuente situation is resolved. Second, we have our thoughts on any potential Fuente departure, but we want to see how the situation plays out before totally committing ourselves to a column about things that may or may not happen.
As of right now, we are planning on the following content for the remainder of the week…
1: True Freshman Report, Defense (Thursday)
2: TSL Podcast (Thursday)
3: A weekly column on the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team (Friday)
4: The Fisher Law Firm Friday Q&A (Friday)
Those are our tentative plans. However, any impending announcement with Justin Fuente would certainly impact those plans those plans in a major way (with our luck, something will get announced during the middle of the filming of the Podcast tomorrow).
Any announcement, or non-announcement, will bring many questions and many discussion points. However, we want to wait until we know exactly what happens before going all-in on any heavy opinions. We’ll continue to hang out on the message boards and communicate with TSL Pass subscribers about anything we hear. Thanks for reading!
