🤮 a warning label would’ve been nice**
Brewing_Hokie • 04/28/23 07:27 PM ET
I remember how he came back in after that. Crazy!**

...it literally is bending -if not breaking- the ESM rulz. Truly... nutty.**

That doesn't seem like a quitter to me.**
NokieHokie • 04/28/23 08:20 PM ET
it goes to show what a fine line success is at the QB position. I think

Take Paxton Lynch. Fuente made him look like a 1st round potential and he's
BG Hokie • 04/28/23 08:08 AM ET
He kept Corney who ran QB after QB out of VT, it's not just one thing

I knew Fuente had to go when I heard Corn had chewed a QB who...
EDGEMAN • 04/28/23 07:53 AM ET
That was my final straw.**
delmarva hokie • 04/28/23 12:04 PM ET
That unbelievable fact turned me finally for good. Amazingly myopic. **
TomTurkey • 04/28/23 09:41 AM ET
They had to go but that story is to be taken with a grain of salt IMO.
BG Hokie • 04/28/23 09:37 AM ET
100% agree. I always think that way.**
Hoakie82 • 04/28/23 12:05 PM ET
Dude you heard that after he had already gone. **
IronBlood • 04/28/23 09:34 AM ET
I heard it here before he left.**
EDGEMAN • 04/28/23 10:23 AM ET
To be fair, that was JV squad we put out there

Fuente coached Hendon Hooker and Ryan Willis into the NFL **

Paxton Lynch is why Fuente never has to work again. Paxton Lynch led to

worst part about that story

Tom Brady owes his success to Scott Loeffler....

For HH’s sake, I hope he doesn’t land somewhere cold. **
Pride_and_Joy • 04/28/23 07:43 AM ET
Yeah he looked like he was out of it in that last cold game with his ticks.**
BigDaddyHokie • 04/28/23 07:45 PM ET
Willis maybe. Hooker got there based on his play at UT. Fu's biggest
Tombo • 04/28/23 01:07 AM ET
But also to say Hooker wasn’t “developed” at VT is false

Let’s don’t get carried away 🤓**
VPI63 • 04/28/23 05:18 AM ET
I view him as being in a perfect situation
Seikoh_04 • 04/27/23 08:32 PM ET
He didn't hold a clipboard. He wasn't a backup.
HokieBoy • 04/27/23 08:46 PM ET
The point is he didn’t win the starting job in practice at VT OR UT**
hokiepro • 04/27/23 08:48 PM ET
I don't view HH as not working out for us..maybe
fnhokie • 04/27/23 08:21 PM ET
I still remember both he and QP playing in that 6 OT game against UNC. We
