it's a great hire, hokie nation will really enjoy fuente.

memphis defense last year was great, but the dc left for missouri. so it's not like fuente is clueless about defense and how to approach games from that side of the ball. lost most of the playmakers on defense as well and basically had to rely on offense this year.

aside from all that, the number one thing about fuente is his ability to get guys coached up, and that skill will come in handy at va tech where you're not going to be getting 5 star guys on top of 5 star guys. top 3 receivers for memphis this year were all walkons at one point, and paxton lynch has gone from the worst qb in the country (for real) his freshman season to a top nfl prospect by his junior year.

dynamite hire by va tech.
