Mcfarling says that the bowl vs. Ok St will be (was) the last time Fuente would be playing with house money as VT HC.
"But something changes in Year 3. By then, you’re largely molding your own clay. If you’re starting a redshirt freshman quarterback, this quarterback is either a transcendent talent or an emergency fill-in you shoved under center because you failed to have a solid succession plan. Either way, it’s all up to you."
I agree with McFarling. The Faithful for Fedora deny that he is molding his own clay in Year 6.
"When a standout running back leaves the program, like McMillian did? Well, that kind of thing doesn’t get the shrug in Year 3 that it does in Year 2. In Year 2, it’s simply a matter of a poor system fit, a player-coach relationship that never quite made as much sense as it did in the old regime. Both parties can agree that it’s time to part.
In Year 3? That can be a contentious experience that calls into question the way a coach is developing the very prospects he works so hard to recruit."
Yep.
