Fu isn't as bad as it seems now, wasn't as good as he seemed after year 1.


All those players that jumped ship after the UVA game and didn't stick around for the bowl game - that's at least not all on Fu if at all. They had their reasons. We might not agree with them all, but they're kids.

I think a lot of people have also jumped on the Fu-hate bandwagon after the various bad rumor-stories came out about him once he was gone from various players. I do wonder how much of that was justified, how much of it was sour grapes, and suspect a little of both.

In the end he was decent human that for Virginia Tech had a recruiting drought and wouldn't or couldn't get some things on track with his staff. That's played out similar for a bunch of other coaches too. I wonder if the same may have played out for Beamer if he didn't have a guy by the name of Bud Foster on the sidelines with him. That elite, scoring defense won a bunch of games where the offense constantly sputtered.
