While coaches seemed to be dropping left and right, Virginia Tech has already found their replacement for Frank Beamer.  Justin Fuente is the next Virginia Tech football coach.  Fuente comes to Blacksburg from Memphis where he compiled a record of 24-21.

We have been down to the promised land.  We have met all the candidates.  We have discussed and postulated.  At the end of the day it was simply Whit's decision.  He chose Justin James Fuente.  Fuente played QB at Murray State.  That school might ring a bell for the Hokie Nation.  Frank Beamer earned his coaching stripes at Murray State, and now Fuente will try and bring that same energy and winning to Virginia Tech.  The Virginia Tech job was universally lauded as one of the best, and now Fuente has his turn at the helm.  The entire Virginia Tech Nation welcomes Justin and his family to Blacksburg.  Fuente brings a winning tradition of his own, guiding Memphis to 24-21 career mark at a school not exactly known for football.  The task at hand for Fuente is difficult.  He is the guy that replaces the guy.  No one wants to open for U2, and Fuente is the opening act.
