The Solid Verbal: Why Justin Fuente couldn’t turn down Virginia Tech
An extended conversation with the new man in charge in Blacksburg.
Michael Shroyer-USA TODAY Sports
New Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente came on the show to discuss:
• The process that took Fuente from Memphis to Virginia Tech
• What Blacksburg, as a city, offers Fuente and his family that Memphis couldn’t
• His initial vision for the program during the interview process
• What he's looking for in the QB battle between Hokie incumbents like Dwayne Lawson, Brenden Motley and Joshua Jackson and newcomer and JUCO transfer Jerod Evans
• What the continuity of defensive coordinator Bud Foster means for players already on the roster, and for recruiting relationships
• How much he watched of the Hokies’ 2015 season and what he, as a new coach, can glean from game tape
• The process for introducing elements of a faster offensive tempo to a team not used to playing fast
• How he’ll measure success in year one
