I believe we will get a coach that has had a lot of success prior to VT.
Will he do the same at VT? Only time will tell.
Justin Fuente was a home run hire when he was hired.
Justin Fuente was a grand slam hire a year after he was hired and had won 10 games and made an ACC Championship with, largely, a roster that couldn't do more than win 6 games with a HOF Head Coach and HOF Defensive Coordinator.
Justin Fuente was still a home run hire 2 years after he was hired and won 9 games with a rFR QB that never amounted to much.
Justin Fuente was no longer a home run hire 3 years after the press conference after losing to ODU and, later, having an ugly 4 game losing streak in the ACC. It went further down hill from there....
My point is that we should absolutely have a solid hire; a legitimate coach that is a proven winner.
