Yes, maybe 20% of my VT friends even thought about firing Fuente last year

Most just want to watch the games on Saturday and use them as an excuse to meet up and drink. Only true die-hards can name our assistant coaches, let alone know about Fuente's buyout and recruiting.

Believe it or not, most VT alumni don't follow high school football recruiting. VT cranks out 6k graduates a year with the majority of them staying within driving distance and can't sell out a game, seriously doubt those people are up in arms.

Quotes like this are why fans want more access to the program! Love it! -- royalhokie 04/15/2021 12:07PM

That's a nice human interest story, not so much about the program -- WestyHokie 04/15/2021 2:58PM

Well CJF could use more stories like this as he is -- sacramento hokie 04/16/2021 4:37PM

Human interest story we are not use to seeing. ** -- royalhokie 04/16/2021 12:50AM

No, that's a young man voicing commitment to a leader. ** -- 40ozDistrict 04/15/2021 6:51PM

I'm not sure what your argument is here. it's an interesting qoute. from -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 4:14PM

Unfortunately we also have fans that turn every positive into a negative. -- EDGEMAN 04/15/2021 12:36PM

The vocal minority of VT fans are very entitled, especially online -- soflahokie 04/15/2021 1:11PM

Yep. Twitter & msg boards are not a proxy for public opinion...on anything. ** -- marcbvtgm 04/17/2021 5:42PM

A very fair post, in many respects. -- hokie4life2 04/15/2021 8:12PM

Yes. It is a vocal minority -- NMB Hokie 04/16/2021 09:29AM

You nailed it with that post -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/15/2021 7:32PM

A lot of truth in this statement -- Rationalist 04/15/2021 5:31PM

If we do the pressure will be amped up on supporters -- NMB Hokie 04/16/2021 09:25AM

Agree -- Rationalist 04/16/2021 5:27PM

There is a considerable amount of pressure on the coaching staff presently, -- FLKEYSHOKIE 04/15/2021 8:21PM

Do you think the school would be willing to fund additional $$$ the fans -- VTCALS72 04/15/2021 8:11PM

Exactly right... -- ombandit 04/15/2021 2:12PM

I agree with most of what you said but when did VT have the highest paid -- Hoakie82 04/15/2021 1:55PM

I think we were briefly right after Frank2UNC thing happened -- VTCALS72 04/15/2021 8:15PM

Maybe 3rd highest among public schools? Hard to get accurate salary -- icelus 04/15/2021 8:05PM

3rd highest, according to CC. ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 2:20PM

Correct. -- Will Stewart

I believe what he is..... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 2:19PM

Whit's career cannot handle another bad football hire ** -- typed by ben 04/15/2021 1:52PM

Fuente was a huge get for Whit. Remember? ** -- 40ozDistrict 04/15/2021 6:53PM

That's okay, it hasn't worked out. Lesson learned ** -- typed by ben 04/15/2021 7:07PM

Meaning it wasn't a bad hire is what I'm getting at. ** -- 40ozDistrict 04/15/2021 7:15PM

I am less optimistic. His other hire was Tommy Tuberville ** -- typed by ben 04/15/2021 8:10PM

Good point. ** -- 40ozDistrict 04/15/2021 8:46PM

Take the issue to Whit & Sands ** -- seacain 04/15/2021 7:14PM

Calling Fuente a bad hire is disingenuous, not firing him may not be -- soflahokie 04/15/2021 3:18PM

I am looking around seeing us falling off the cliff ** -- typed by ben 04/15/2021 5:23PM

Time for you to get a new hobby. Maybe Whit & Sands need to also depart :-( ** -- seacain 04/15/2021 7:17PM
