I don't think ANY D1 coach that fails is running a con

Buyouts aside I feel like they'd much rather win than get fired. Fuente did not want to fail here, for that matter neither does Pry, even though he is, and I've heard people refer to him as a scammer too. About the best I can give you is that Fuente was tired of swimming upstream here against the administration. On Pry while doesn't want to fail, I feel like he is in over his head.

Not that they could've known, but VT got their coaches in the wrong order

Agree but not for your reasons. Next HC will mysteriously excel if given $$

Then what's Pry? I don't think our recruiting is really better under him..**
icelus • 09/09/25 11:30 PM ET
Not better, but the point is that traditional recruiting is less valuable

That is a shame, waste of a talented football coach.
Jwunderdog • 09/09/25 04:26 PM ET
That’s a pretty cool job. And he can definitely help analyze team strengths
hokiepro • 09/09/25 06:48 PM ET
He was a good head coach before coming to Tech. I was not a fan of him
techer1983 • 09/09/25 05:56 PM ET
I might agree except he was opposed all the time by Ballien.**
Atlee Hokie • 09/09/25 09:53 PM ET
Pry is better than Fuente? I don’t think so**
Durham Hokie • 09/09/25 07:12 PM ET
No where in my response did I make that statement**
techer1983 • 09/09/25 10:36 PM ET
Hooker developed HERE. He was nothing but a runner as a RS
hokiepro • 09/09/25 06:30 PM ET
Somewhat surprised he hasn’t resurfaced as offensive coordinator somewhere **
Zanderhokie • 09/09/25 05:24 PM ET
My guess is he is going to wait until his kids graduate before he moves
Jwunderdog • 09/09/25 05:30 PM ET
Agree 100% **
Jeffroww • 09/09/25 05:10 PM ET
He had the Best Scam ...

Blah, blah, blah**

Fu swimming upstream against the administration is quite an understatement.
RJHokie • 09/09/25 08:11 PM ET
He didn't scam anyone. We paid him to be HC and then paid him not to be
Tombo • 09/09/25 07:02 PM ET
He had a better record here his first 4 years than Frank’s last 4

How did CoVID uniquely impact Fuente?**
One4VT • 09/09/25 09:35 PM ET
These are just my observations but…

Had no spring practice after hiring JHam as Dc

And had just hired Tapp**
