I suspected that earlier VT stories were a FU publicist effort....

They were oddly mistimed and he came out positive in both stories. No reason that ESPN was tracking those stories without someone planting them for filler. I just had to wonder if Fuente had someone working on improving his image so he could land a new coaching job, and here we are. Hope he does well and we can finally move on from the VT bashing.

Wasn’t he already informally advising TCU?**
marcbvtgm • 10/09/23 12:30 PM ET
I thought he might end up at that other school in Indiana

He’d be a decent OC, or HC in FCS

I liked listening to his comments on TTL or post- game interviews.
LXNTN_HOKIE • 10/09/23 03:19 AM ET
So he's not the head coach of fantasy football at Duke?**
JLuge76 • 10/08/23 09:08 PM ET
I'm sure he gets a chuckle every morning concerning his VT checks.
GSOHokie01 • 10/08/23 08:38 PM ET
Wonder if he Sends Whitt & Sands Flowers.. maybe candy.. **
JRHokie • 10/09/23 06:07 AM ET
Pretty sure he took a one-time lump sum payment.
Will StewartAdmin • 10/08/23 11:20 PM ET
Correct......
2hhoop3 • 10/08/23 11:24 PM ET
I thought the payments were spread out over time but obviously not.
GSOHokie01 • 10/08/23 11:44 PM ET
I wonder if the payments over time would have meant he had to offset it
BigDave • 10/09/23 08:34 AM ET
I thought you only got that if you lost your job thru no fault of your own?**
Jethro Tull • 10/08/23 07:57 PM ET
It was a joke - you can only collect unemployment for 6 months generally
BigDave • 10/09/23 08:28 AM ET
My post was also in jest

Euphemism **
TomTurkey • 10/08/23 09:08 PM ET
I wonder if he'll see the deja vu with Indiana stadium same original design
anotherdamnyankeehokie • 10/08/23 06:47 PM ET
But he will dominate recruiting efforts in Virginia. Lol.**
seacain • 10/08/23 07:59 PM ET
He’s still getting paid by VT with no offset clause in his contract.**

Example number 3783 of ADs being incapable or unwilling to negotiate with

It’s okay because that’s part of “the market”**
kinghokie • 10/09/23 09:57 AM ET
Thought someone stated that he received a lump sum from VT**
techer1983 • 10/08/23 05:55 PM ET
I thought he was being paid quarterly through 2023, but not sure**
TabbHokie • 10/08/23 07:08 PM ET
…he cashed out for turkey bacon and bottled water**
chumley • 10/08/23 06:02 PM ET
Good for him, perhaps this is a starting point for him building back**
