Lotta hand wringing going on in this thread for no reason.
I wouldn't call it hand wringing.

I'd call it flashbacks to Kevin Steel and the lame duck years of GuyMo,
What are you talking about? The only coach who has been named in rumors has two 10-win seasons to his credit. Justin Fuente is not one of my top choices, but this coaching search has in no way hearkened back to the dark days.
Guy Morris's was 7-5 in the SEC.

You're misreading something somewhere I'm not piling on Fuente just saying it's hard to think it will be a slam dunk that any coach comes in and wins by default. It's competitive.

When a salary of $3 mil is on the table, coaches are gonna say some serious bull**** just to get the job. You can count on that!

From what I've read Fuente's OC is even worse than Nixon..


I know Not thrilled either way. Need a whole new oc. Not on either staff. If only Rhule held on for a few more years I think JM would be a no brainer with a bit more college seasoning

Hope it's true. Don't see how they'd fire the guy though.

VT gave him a lot, so when he interviewed at Baylor. they fired him. You've got to respect that AD.

I guess some Universities don't appreciate giving and paying a Coach what he says he wants, only to watch him court a job at another school. Can't blame VT for that.

True or not, I'm not a fan of a Fuente hire, Justin or Daisy.

FTR, a lot of our fans have no idea how close we were to hiring Gundy and that was a back room deal brokered by a regent. We thought we were desperate and he wanted the job. Cooler heads prevailed and Rhoades landed Rhule. Better outcome obviously.

People that think he wasn't nearly our coach just don't understand how our regents have handled things.

If Gundy had been hired we wouldn't be in this mess today and Gundy would still be here wining games and killing it against UT.

Probably. Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't see him leaving us..

Impossible statement to prove, but if it makes you feel better, sure, why not?

I'd bet everything I own that he'd still be here and would've had a better overall record through 3 years than Rhule. I don't know if we'd have won 11 this year but I suppose it depends on your definition of better as well. That said, not hiring again in 3 years is a LOT better than having to hire again that quickly.
